Ongoing Projects

1. Development of a coupled multi physics LWR nuclear reactor fuel performance analysis program 

Project Team: 

PI: Md Tanvir Ahmed

Collaborator : Ebny Walid Ahammed  

Thesis student : Abdur Rahman Antor

Project Description: This will be a computer code that calculates the steady-state response of light-water reactor fuel rods during long-term burnup. The code will calculate the temperature, pressure, and deformation of a fuel rod as functions of time-dependent fuel rod power and coolant boundary conditions. The phenomena will be modeled by the code include:    

•  heat conduction through the fuel and cladding to the coolant

•  cladding elastic and plastic deformation

•  fuel-cladding mechanical interaction

•  fission gas release from the fuel and rod internal pressure

•  cladding oxidation. 

The code  will contain necessary material properties,water properties, and heat-transfer correlations.
