U.K. releases new plans to speed nuclear deployment
In an effort to revamp its nuclear sector and enable the buildout of new projects, the U.K. has unveiled a sweeping set of changes to project deployment. These changes, which are set to come into effect by the end of next year, will restructure the country’s regulatory and environmental approval framework and directly support new growth through various workforce efforts.

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.
