Fluid Damping in Fuel Assemblies
Damping is known to be a major parameter in the seismic design of nuclear facilities. Of special interest is the case of fuel assemblies in PWR plants, which, unlike other components, are submitted to axial flows: it has been known since the late 80s that their frequency response to lateral excitations was largely dependent on the flow velocity, and ...

Influence of Spacer Grid Outer Strap on Fuel Assembly Thermal Hydraulic Performance
The outer strap as a typical structure of a spacer grid enhances the mechanical strength, decreases hang-up susceptibility, and also influences thermal hydraulic performance, for example, pressure loss, mixing performance, and flow distribution.
