Thermal hydraulics and mechanics deals with the physics and mechanics of the flow and energetic transfer of liquids, and its interactions with the structures around them in large complex systems, suc...

The need to refine models for best-estimate calculations based on good-quality experimental data has arisen for various nuclear applications. One of the most extensive and valuable databases availabl...

The objective of the benchmark was twofold. First, the benchmark aimed to evaluate currently available computational approaches in an effort to understand the strengths and weaknesses of current ther...

This report defines the “OECD/NEA/NSC PBMR Coupled Neutronics/Thermal-hydraulics Transient Benchmark of the PBMR-400 Core Design”. This chapter gives more information on the day-to-day management of ...

This report provides the specification for the uncertainty exercises of the international OECD/NEA, NRC and NUPEC BFBT benchmark problem including the elemental task. The specification was prepared j...

This benchmark is based on a well-defined problem concerning a pressurised water reactor (PWR) main steam line break, which may occur as a consequence of the rupture of one steam line upstream of the...

The benchmark is based on a well-defined problem concerning a PWR main steam line break, which may occur as a consequence of the rupture of one steam line upstream of the main steam isolation valves....

Since the beginning of benchmark activities, two benchmark workshops took place. The first was held in Madrid, Spain (June 1998), and the second in Garching near Munich, Germany (March 1999). It was ...
