CFD and systems thermal-hydraulic analysis in the design and safety assessment of high-temperature reactors

Rousseau, Pieter G.; Du Toit, Charl G.; Van Antwerpen, Herman J. (Woodhead Publishing, 2019)

An overview is provided of the role of the various levels of CFD in the different stages of the design, analysis and evaluation of very-high-temperature reactor (VHTR) systems and molten salt reactor (MSR) systems. The ...
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 ...
A numerical study to investigate the effect of inlet Reynolds number on the thermal-fluid phenomena in the supercritical carbon dioxide-cooled pebble bed reactor

Latifi, Masoumeh Sadat; Du Toit, C.G. (Springer, 2019)

This paper presents a numerical investigation into thermal–fluid phenomena in a supercritical carbon dioxide-cooled pebble bed reactor (SCPBR) core under steady state using computational fluid dynamic. In this study, a ...
