The 7th of May, at the University of Pisa, the candidate Morena Angelucci defended her doctoral thesis titled “Coupling between System and CFD codes for the analysis of thermal-hydraulic phenomena relevant for LMFR”. Her research activity concerned the development and the use of multi-scale approach, i.e. coupled calculation between a system thermal-hydraulic code (RELAP5/Mod3.3) and a CFD code (ANSYS Fluent) to perform thermal-hydraulic analysis of heavy metal-cooled systems. The research included also an experimental activityRead More →
