LECTURES: To be arranged, based on number of students registered.

PREREQUSITE: Bachelor degree in any engineering discipline.

OUTLINE:
Two-fluid two-phase modelling of thermalhydrailic phenomena in reactor heat transport systems including modeling and simulation of postulated accidents. Topics include: two-fluid conservation equations and constitutive correlations, nodalization schemes and numerical methods applied in thermalhydraulic network simulation, equation of state and the rate method, computer code development, CATHENA computer code specific theory, numerical algorithms, and flow regime modelling. This is a simulation-based course; it includes CATHENA simulation assignments.

FINAL EXAM:
There will be one 1-hour verbal discussion separately with each student and the instructor that is intended to cover certain aspects of the course work or assignments.
