September 2013
The ECMF group has been awarded a $800k DOE NEUP grant to work on the
NGNP Reactor Cavity Cooling System.
Our group will collaborate with Prof. Corradini, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The ECMF group is part of the winning team for a $800k DOE NEUP grant focused on the use of high-fidelity multi-physics
computational tools for the prediction of
hydrides formation and distribution
in reactors fuel pins. The work is lead by Penn State University, and will be carried out in collaboration with Idaho National
Laboratory.
ECMF team member Daniel Walter has been awarded the 1st prize at the Engineering Graduate Symposium
of the University of Michigan, in the category "Fission Systems and Radiation Measurements". Congratulations Dan!
ECMF team member John Downing has been awarded a Dean Fellowship for Fall13-Winter14. Congratulations John!
ECMF team member Mingjun Wang has been awarded a 2-years fellowship from the China Scholarship Council.
Congratulations Mingjun!
May 2013
ECMF team member Daniel Walter was awarded the 2nd prize in the category "Nuclear Energy, Science and Engineering"
at the
Engineering Graduate Symposium of the University of Michigan. Congratulations Dan!
November 2012
Our work on high-fidelity multi-physics simulations of CRUD deposits on PWR fuel rods has been reported in the
Michigan Engineering News.
ECMF team member Akshay Dave is the winner of the
"Young Professionals in Thermal Hydraulics Competition", at the ANS Winter Meeting. Congratulations Akshay!
September 2012
ECMF team member Tim Grunloh has been awarded a 3-years DOE NEUP fellowship. Congratulations Tim!
The ECMF group has been awarded a U.S. NRC grant to work on the development of a multi-scale computational tools for
high fidelity safety analysis of nuclear power plants.
The ECMF group is part of a $6M DOE IRP grant for the design of a
inherently safe Light Water Reactor.
The grant is lead by the Georgia Institute of Technology. The ECMF group will work in close collaboration with
Westinghouse at the design of the thermal-hydraulics systems and safety systems, and at the development
of the safety concept.
