Slide deck for the Advanced Reactor Technologies Gas Cooled Reactor (ART-GCR) program review. The slides show the progress on the air-cooled reactor cavity cooling system (RCCS) CFD validation work. The validation of the air-cooled RCCS is performed using the experimental facility at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The slide deck provides a progress update on this year's achievements. The natural convection tests under uniform power are modeled and compared with the experimental results. The results show good agreement with the experimental results. A sensitivity study on the RANS turbulence models is performed. Additionally, the contribution of radiative and convective heat transfer within the heated cavity is calculated and compared to forced convection setups.
