NEUP IRP-23-30994: Exascale simulation of thermal-hydraulics phenomena in advanced reactors and validation using high resolution experimental data

CCNY and UNM will work with ANL to guide and train the students in the use and development of Nek5000/RS for simulations of two benchmark problems: CCNY’s experiments on helium-air mixing in HTGR cavities and Purdue’s experiments on thermal stratification of a liquid metal in a pool-type SFR. UNM will conduct Star-CCM+ simulations of the same benchmark experiments. The results will be compared to achieve a better understanding of the physics and to improve the codes.
