Contains eight papers presented at the November 1998 symposium on computational and thermal hydraulic analysis in nuclear reactors, organized by the nuclear engineering division of the ASME. The papers emphasize various areas of application of CFD and system computer codes in nuclear reactor analysis. For example, a CFD analysis of direct vessel injection to calculate AP600 reactor vessel shell temperatures utilizing the 3D finite element FLOTRAN program is presented. Also described are a 3D finite element volume method in curvilinear coordinates for complex geometries, and a modified wall law equation for bubbly flows. No index.
