  • System model of a natural circulation integral test facility

    Creator:
    Galvin, Mark Robert, 1967-
    Abstract:
    The Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics (NE/RHP) at Oregon State University (OSU) has been developing an innovative modular reactor plant concept since being initiated with a Department of Energy (DoE) grant in 1999. This concept, the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), is an integral pressurized water...

  • Natural Convection Heat Transfer and Boundary Layer Transition for Vertical Heated Cylinders

    Creator:
    Goodrich, Sam S.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, the global nuclear industry has placed a greater emphasis on passively safe reactor designs. In particular, much attention and design work has been applied to engineered systems for passive cooling of nuclear fuel, whether it be loaded in a core or stored in spent fuel pools. The...

  • Extending the discrete maximum principle for the IMC equations

    Creator:
    Talbot, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    The implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method [16] for radiative transfer, developed in 1971, provides numerical solutions to the tightly-coupled, highly-nonlinear radiative heat transfer equations in many physical situations. Despite its popularity, there are instances of overheating in the solution for particular choices of time steps and spatial grid sizes. To...
