CFD Modeling of Sodium-Oxide Deposition in Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor Compact Heat Exchangers
E. Tatli, J. P. Mazzoccoli and P. Ferroni
This paper details the development of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methodology to model and predict sodium oxide deposition in compact heat exchangers of sodium-cooled fast reactors. It highlights the use of CFD as a high-fidelity computational tool to understand deposit formation and its impact on coolant flow and reactor operation.
