Welcome to the website of the Experimental and Computational Multiphase Flow Group.
Our expertise and research activities focus on:
HIGH RESOLUTION EXPERIMENTS
- High resolution (both in space and time) of single-phase flows (mixing, turbulence-induced thermal fatigue, etc.)
- High resolution (both in space and time) of two-phase flows
- Instrumentation: Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV), high speed cameras, wire-mesh sensors, radiation based techniques (tomography, radiography)
MODELING AND COMPUTATION
- CFD (computational fluid dynamic) modeling
- Single-phase mixing
- Two-phase flow including boiling
- Complex components/ complex geometries
- Large computational meshes
- RANS and LES
- 1D best-estimate thermal-hydraulic system codes
- TRACE, RELAP5
- Operational transient and accident scenarios for PWRs and BWRs
- Two phase flow models validation
- design of passive safety systems for Gen-III+ LWRs, SMRs, and advanced reactors
- development of high-fidelity multi-physics, multi-scale computational methodologies for nuclear systems
- coupling of CFD with neutron transport and chemistry
- coupling of CFD with 1D best-estimate thermal-hydraulic codes
We are currently working on a variety of experimental and computational projects. Please visit our
