NEUP CINR-21-24644: High-Resolution Measurements and Advanced Modeling for Design Optimization of Advanced Small Modular Reactor Steam Generators

We will perform experiments and simulations to acquire multi-parameters of pressure drop, heat and mass transfer, and flow-induced vibration (FIV) effect for the design optimization of SMR steam generator (SG). Measurements are performed on existing SMR SG facilities using intrusive/non-intrusive techniques to obtain velocity, temperature, pressure, heat flux, and FIV effects for various geo-dimensions, spacing, pitch angles. Simulations are performed in StarCCM, Nek5000 and coupling with Diablo
