Numerical modeling of thermal-fluid behavior of the S-CO2 cooled pebble bed reactor

The S-CO2 cooled pebble bed reactor (SCPBR) is a type of pebble bed reactors in which the supercritical carbon dioxide used as a coolant. In this study, the thermal-fluid phenomena in the SCPBR core, at different porosities (0.38, 0.4, and 0.42) and pebble diameters (3 cm, 8 cm and 12 cm) are numeri...
