  • Vibration Analysis of Advanced Test Reactor Miniplate Hydraulic Test in the OSU HMFTF

    Creator:
    Latimer, Griffen D.
    Abstract:
    Current research on the topic of advanced reactor fuel types include the use of ultrahigh density Uranium-Molybdenum fuels, towards their use in high-performance research reactors. These reactors operate with high power densities, and the increased cooling requirements therefore place high relevance on the fluid-structure interaction with these fuel elements; therefore...

  • Comprehensive Characterization of Motion of a Helical Coil Due to Flow Induced Vibration

    Creator:
    Harmon, Paul L.
    Abstract:
    Mechanical vibrations compromise the integrity of key components of thermal power plants. Without careful design, strong resonances during steady state operation can wear these components to the point of failure, leading to an unsafe situation that may force a plant to shut down. The purpose of this research is to...

  • An Approach to Modeling Fuel Plate Deformations in Fluid-Structure Interactions

    Creator:
    Howard, Trevor
    Abstract:
    As computational power increases, so does the desire to use fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software to design complex systems and components such as fuel plates. Presently, an effort is underway to support the design and qualification of a new nuclear fuel material which is intended for applications in select, plate-type, research...
