THERMAL HYDRAULIC CODE VALIDATION BENCHMARK FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE GAS-COOLED REACTORS

The topic is Thermal hydraulic code validation benchmark for high temperature gas-cooled reactors using Hight Temperature Test Facility (HTGR T/H) data from Oregon State University. The study will serve to benchmark the modelling and simulation tools for thermal-hydraulics calculations of HTGRs ( High Temperature Gas reactors) which are key elements needed to efficiently develop and deploy new advanced reactors. The code validation benchmark includes code-to-code comparisons as well as comparisons to measured data which are an efficient mean to quantify accuracy and identify sources of uncertainties in thermal-hydraulic calculations.
