NEUP CINR-21-24405: Development of a High-fidelity Flow Boiling Database for Validation of High-void-fraction Flow Regime Models

The primary objective of this proposed research is to develop a comprehensive, high-resolution, MCFD-validation-grade flow boiling data from rod bundle geometry simulating current LWR fuel designs by taking advantage of the instrumentation and facility developed by the research team. In addition, the applicability of the data through initial evaluations of selected test cases using Nek-2P boiling closure models will be studied and demonstrated for two-phase flow simulations.
