Funding

Texas A&M University is conducting isothermal experiments in a wire-wrapped 61-pin hexagonal fuel bundle to support the research on advanced nuclear fuel development sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE). The purpose of these experiments is to produce high spatial and temporal resolution measurements of the flow and pressure measurements at different locations of the test bundle. The experimental data will be used to benchmark numerical simulations of the experiments using both industry-standard Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods [1] and highly resolved large eddy simulations (LES) [2].
