Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by THD
Thursday, December 2, 2021|3:05–4:50PM EST |Columbia 4
Session Chair:
Igor A. Bolotnov
Session Organizers:
Elia Merzari (Penn State)
Alternate Chair:
Student Assistant:
Charles Goodman
The continuing development of HPC capabilities in recent years opened up many opportunities to address many thermal hydraulic problems in reactor systems using high resolution methodologies. The panelists will discuss the recent advancements in using HPC to simulate the reactor flows using high resolution approaches, such as DNS, LES and interface capturing techniques. Future outlook of a wider range of TH problems that can be tackled in the next decade will be discussed.
