Breaking ground on a new approach to construction
The drive to Kairos Power’s reactor demonstration site in Oak Ridge, Tenn., is not only scenic—it’s historic. Nearly 85 years ago, roughly 30,000 construction workers transformed orchards and farmland into a key Manhattan Project site. Depending on your route, you may pass by one of the three gatehouses that were once military checkpoints controlling access to Atomic Energy Commission production facilities.

A method of forming one-dimensional networks that are equivalent to two-dimensional wave propagations with fluid-structure interactions was developed. The method was verified by analysis of the simple shaker for a computational experiment by the use of the MULTIPLEX code for one-dimensional hydraulics with fluid-structure interactions. By applying the method of network formation, the Fritz-Kiss experiment was subsequently analyzed. In the latter case, the computed in-water frequency was 17.39 Hz, in good agreement with the measured value, 17.0 Hz. Thus, the MULTIPLEX code was verified for analyses of two-dimensional systems with application of the network model.
