A MICROSTRUCTURAL MODEL OF THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF DISPERSION TYPE FUELS WITH A FUEL MATRIX INTERACTION LAYER
This paper describes a finite element model of the microstructure of dispersion type nuclear fuels, which can be used to determine the effective thermal conductivity of the fuels during irradiation. The model simulates a representative region of the fuel as a prism shaped unit cell made of brick ele...
