Geometrical optimization of PWR spacer grids using GeN-Foam and Genetic Algorithms

Geometrical optimization of PWR spacer grids using GeN-Foam and Genetic Algorithms

This paper presents the results of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) oriented geometrical optimization using the GeN-Foam solver applied to subchannels of the fuel assembly in a PWR-type nuclear reactor. GeN-Foam is a coarse mesh OpenFOAM solver designed to study nuclear engineering problems invol...
