Numerical Study of Coupled Fluid and Solid Wave Propagation Related to the Cladding Failure of a Nuclear Fuel Rod

Fuel rod cladding failure in a nuclear reactor produces different phenomena related to vibrations and fluid–structure interaction. The most significant aspect of those phenomena is the creation of a pressure wave at the failure position and its propagation in the coolant fluid flowing around the fue...
