Flow Visualization of Forced and Natural Convection in Internal Cavities

Abstract

Executive SummaryThe goal of this program was to develop innovative flow visualization methods and reliable predictive techniques for the energy, mass, and momentum transfer in the presence of surface reactions for the passivation treatment operations of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) elements. A generic SNF canister, to store high-and medium-enriched fuels, was developed to serve as a common experimental configuration.
