title = "Application of Hydra-TH, the CASL T-H code, for computing nuclear reactor spacer grids",
abstract = "This work is focused on assessing the Hydra-TH code capabilities for a variety of prototypical CASL applications. Practical size problems were developed and run, ranging from a 3×3 fuel rod test mesh to a full size 17×17 fuel rod bundle. The code was installed and executed mainly on two platforms: FISSION at INL, and TITAN at ORNL. Both of these two large parallel clusters provide sufficient computing power to run the models considered here. Parallel to running the software, several other important activities took significant portion of the time. Those are: mesh preparation and visualization of both the mesh and the results. The commercial tool, HEXPRESS/HYBRID, was used for meshing and open source PARA VIEW for visualization.",
