Leading the charge: INL’s role in advancing HALEU production
Idaho National Laboratory is playing a key role in helping the U.S. Department of Energy meet near-term needs by recovering HALEU from federal inventories, providing critical support to help lay the foundation for a future commercial HALEU supply chain. INL also supports coordination of broader DOE efforts, from material recovery at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina to commercial enrichment initiatives.

Quantitative validation of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is about making point-to-point comparisons over fields of data to make statements about predictive fidelity. By the very nature of CFD, these comparisons are high-performance computing and data intensive. This presentation provides an overview of workflow development toward quantitative development of two-phase CFD codes. The focus here is on multifield two-fluid model capability implemented in the commercial CFD code ANSYS CFX applicable to boiling gas-liquid two-phase flows. Applications to validating three-dimensional predictions that span two-phase flow regimes are discussed.
