CFD applications in the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor Project: a decade of progress
Kleingeld, Marius; Janse van Rensburg, Jacobus Johannes (Elsevier, 2011)Of all the systems and components that have to be designed for a nuclear plant, the Reactor Unit is the most significant since it is at the very heart of the plant. At Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (Pty) Ltd. (PBMR), the ... -
A CFD method to evaluate the integrated influence of leakage and bypass flows on the PBMR reactor unit
Janse van Rensburg, Jacobus J.; Kleingeld, Marius (Elsevier, 2010) -
Evaluating the impact of auxiliary fan practices on localised subsurface ventilation
De Villiers, David J.; Mathews, Marc J.; Maré, Philip; Kleingeld, Marius; Arndt, Deon (Elsevier, 2019)Mines are continually expanding in size and depth, leading to an increased reliance on localised subsurface ventilation systems. The use of underground auxiliary fans is a favoured method to increase and control airflow ... -
An integral CFD approach for the thermal simulation of the PBMR reactor unit
Kleingeld, Marius; Janse van Rensburg, Jacobus Johannes (Elsevier, 2011)A CFD method was developed to conduct integral thermal reactor analysis for the complete Reactor Unit of the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (Pty) Ltd (PBMR). The requirement was however also to include very detailed aspects ... -
Investigating leakage and bypass flows in an HTR using a CFD methodology
Kleingeld, Marius; Janse van Rensburg, Jacobus Johannes (Elsevier, 2011)An area that has been identified as significantly important in the development of a high temperature reactor (HTR) is the prediction of leakage and bypass flows. It is therefore essential to understand the influence of ...
