Validation and Application of CFD Methodology for Core Inlet Flow Distribution in APR1000 Reactor

The core inlet flow distribution in the APR1000 reactor is critical for ensuring the reactors safety and efficient operation by maintaining uniform coolant flow across fuel assemblies. Previous studies, though insightful, faced challenges in fully replicating reactor-scale flow conditions due to tec...
