What is nuclear thermal hydraulics?

open access: yes, 2020
During the 50’s of the last century, at the start of the exploitation of nuclear fission for the production of electricity, the design and the construction and even the operation of the pioneering reactors occurred without any definition or technology framework for Nuclear Engineering (NE) and, inside NE, Nuclear Thermal-hydraulics (NTH).

Challenges in Containment Thermal Hydraulics

Nuclear Technology, 2020
The containment of a nuclear reactor is a component whose loss in an accident has serious consequences on property, persons, and environment. The Fukushima accident reminded us of this reality.

Passive systems and nuclear thermal-hydraulics

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2021
Abstract Passive systems are in use within nuclear technology, noticeably those systems, which are capable of transferring thermal power from a heat source to a sink with the use of energy coming from gravity: Natural Circulation inside the vessel for Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) and between vessel and steam generators for Pressurized Water Reactor ...

A thermal-hydraulic code (THYD) for the miniature neutron source reactor thermal-hydraulic transients

Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2009
Abstract The transient thermal-hydraulic problem of MNSR is represented by ten differential equations solved numerically using Runge–Kutta method. Computational results are then compared with experimental measurements. Fuel grids and cooling coil models are incorporated in the model too.

Core thermal hydraulic

2009
After a short review of existing nuclear reactor pressure vessels and core geometry this chapter summarizes the main ideas on how to perform a thermohydraulic analysis of boiling flows in nuclear reactors. Remarkable is that all known threefluid flow patterns and heat transfer mechanisms create the cooling mechanism of the core.

Core thermal–hydraulic design

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2004
Abstract The core thermal–hydraulic design for the HTTR is carried out to evaluate the maximum fuel temperature at normal operation and anticipated operation occurrences. To evaluate coolant flow distribution and maximum fuel temperature, we use the experimental results such as heat transfer coefficient, pressure loss coefficient obtained by mock-up ...
