Phase-field simulation of grain nucleation, growth, and Rayleigh distribution of U3Si2 nuclear fuel

Phase-field simulation of grain nucleation, growth, and Rayleigh distribution of U3Si2 nuclear fuel

U3Si2 is a potential accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) due to its high thermal conductivity and uranium density relative to UO2. The grain size and distribution play an essential role in the service performance of U3Si2. However, the grain evolution is quite complicated and remains unclear, which limits...
