A porous medium-based representation of nuclear reactors and complex engineering systems more in general can significantly reduce simulation and modelling costs, while preserving a reasonable degree of accuracy via regime map-based correlations for modelli ...
The OpenFOAM-based GeN-Foam solver has recently been extended to allow simulating water boiling based on a porous-medium approach. This paper describes such extension and preliminarily validates it based on the OECD/NRC PSBT benchmark. Three benchmark exer ...
The deterministic solution of the neutron transport problem entails the coupled solution of several partial differential equations, one for each energy group, direction and/or spherical harmonic. Several techniques have been devised for accelerating the so ...
The analysis of nuclear reactors for performance and safety assessment benefits from the use of computational tools. In this context, this work aims at the development and application of a thermal-hydraulics methodology and related software that respond to ...
