Characterization of the Finite Element Computational Fluid Dynamics Capabilities in the Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment
The Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) is a code package that couples a variety of physics modules, allowing for highly accessible multiphysics simulations. The physics modules include a finite-element Navier-Stokes (N-S) module that is designed to solve laminar fluid dynamics problems. The usage of this module in multiple recent studies coupled with the growing […]
Designing Nuclear Fuels with a Multi-Principal Element Alloying Approach
Previous research has shown that multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) using chromium, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, titanium, vanadium, and zirconium can form stable body centered cubic (BCC) structures across a large temperature region (25-1000 °C). This is the same structure and space group as ? phase uranium (U) which has shown desirable behavior in previous alloy fuel […]
