Discrete Ordinates Radiation Transport using High-Order Finite Element Spatial Discretizations on Meshes with Curved Surfaces

Creator:

Woods, Douglas N.

Abstract:

We spatially discretize the Sn transport equation using the high-order (HO) discontinuous finite element method (DFEM) on HO meshes. Previous work provided a proof-of-concept for this spatial discretization method in X-Y geometry. Included in the present work, we derive a spatial discretization for the Sn transport equation in both X-Y...

Flow Dynamics and Condensation of Film Flows in Small Modular Reactors

Creator:

Lee, Dongyoung

Abstract:

There is renewed interest in the reliability and safety of nuclear power plants following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident followed by 8.9 magnitude earthquake and Tsunami with the height of 15 m on March 11, 2011. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) have been developed to improve safety systems by utilizing passive...

Applying uncertainty and sensitivity on thermal hydraulic subchannel analysis for the multi-application small light water reactor

Creator:

Brigantic, Adam

Abstract:

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a recent advancement in commercial nuclear reactor design with growing interest worldwide. New SMR concepts, such as the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), must undergo a licensing processes established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) prior to commercial operation. Given the lack of...
