(2011-08-08)The design of passive heat removal systems is one of the main concerns for the modular Very High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors (VHTR) vessel cavity. The Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) is an important heat removal ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)An existing water channel facility at Texas A&M University is used to experimentally study a stratified, buoyant wake. A cylindrical obstruction placed at the centerline of a developing Rayleigh-Taylor mixing layer serves ...
-
(2014-11-26)The first objective of the present work is to study Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) mixing, and turbulent velocity statistics at a high Atwood number (At = (Ph -pl)=(Ph+pl)) of 0.75. Until now, no detailed experimental ...
-
(2020-07-08)An emerging trend in the nuclear community is to utilize RANS based turbulence models to supplement thermal-hydraulic system codes in the design of Generation-IV (Gen-IV) power reactors. Prior to full integration into the ...
