Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction for Nuclear Reactor Applications

Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction for Nuclear Reactor Applications presents the latest knowledge on the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Structural Dynamic (CSM) tools to solve Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems in a nuclear setting. Editor Dr. Afaque Shams and his team of expert contributors from around the globe provide a comprehensive picture of recent developments of computational FSI in a variety of nuclear reactors. This book provides a clear understanding of FSI issues such as vibration, noise, wear and fatigue which will work to reduce accident vulnerabilities in the long run.

Numerical algorithms, modeling and applications, validation and verification approaches are included to equip nuclear professionals, plant designers, analysts and researchers with a solid understanding of state-of-the-art approaches for FSI and its advanced applications and modern approaches.
