However, there has been a growing social and academic debate over use nuclear because fact that have serious incidents accidents at power stations indicates security risk associated with NPPs not low. Particularly major accidents, Fukushima Chernobyl, c...

The CFD code GASFLOW solves the time-dependent compressible Navier-Stokes Equations with multiple gas species. GASFLOW was developed for non nuclear and nuclear application. The major nuclear applications of GASFLOW are 3D analyses of steam/hydrogen distributions in complex PWR containment buildings to simulate scenarios of beyond design basis accidents. Validation of GASFLOW has been a continu...
