Validation Experiments for Spent-Fuel Dry-Cask In-Basket Convection
- Utah State Univ., Logan, UT (United States). Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering; Nuclear Energy University Programs
This work consisted of the following major efforts; 1. Literature survey on validation of external natural convection; 2. Design the experiment; 3. Build the experiment; 4. Run the experiment; 5. Collect results; 6. Disseminate results; and 7. Perform a CFD validation study using the results. We note that while all tasks are complete, some deviations from the original plan were made. Specifically, geometrical changes in the parameter space were skipped in favor of flow condition changes, which were found to be much more practical to implement. Changing the geometry required new as-built measurements, which proved extremely costly and impractical given the time and funds available
