Analysis Of Flow Instabilities In Supercritical Watercooled Nuclear Reactors

Near the supercritical thermodynamic point, coolant density is very sensitive to temperature which gives potential to several instabilities in the supercritical water-cooled nuclear reactors. The flow stability features of the U.S. reference Supercritical Water- Cooled Reactor (SCWR) have been in...
