Request a sales quoteModelling and Simulation of Turbulence in Energy Systems provides a detailed review of the use of computational fluids dynamics (CFD) to model turbulent flows in nuclear energy systems. After a thorough and detailed introduction on relevant theory, the book then illustrates the applications of CFD to better understand nuclear plant performance and safety during both normal and accident conditions. Essential topics covered in the section on theory include verification and validation, turbulence modeling using linear eddy viscosity approaches and Reynolds stress modelling. Chapters on applications address light water reactor (LWR) fuels, LWR safety, severe accidents and advanced reactors.
With contributions by leading experts, this book will be a valuable reference for researchers and engineers performing CFD analysis to address the engineering challenges of today’s nuclear fleet and design advanced reactors and fuels for the future.
- Focuses on the all-important area of turbulence, a central concern for CFD analysts
- Coverage includes the fundamentals, the state-of-the-art and best practices
- Oriented towards practical engineering, with discussions on concerns, such as validation, model selection, and an extensive illustration of applications in nuclear engineering
Researchers working at national labs, research centres and universities in nuclear/mechanical engineering departments. Nuclear engineers performing CFD analysis for nuclear fuel vendors, nuclear reactor vendors. Masters and PhD students in universities aiming to gain better knowledge of the state-of-the-art in this field and their teachers
