Résumé fourni par la source

Advanced nuclear reactors are essential for the future of sustainable energy production, with their ability to provide large-scale, low-carbon electricity. A critical factor in the design and optimization of these reactors is the efficient management of heat transfer, which ensures operational safety and enhances performance. This paper presents a detailed study on the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyze and improve heat transfer in advanced nuclear reactors. The study evaluates the effectiveness of CFD models in predicting fluid flow, temperature distribution, and heat removal under various operating conditions. The research discusses the advantages of using CFD simulations to optimize reactor designs, highlighting their potential in improving thermal efficiency and ensuring safety. A comparative analysis of various CFD techniques is presented, with an emphasis on the application of the models in the design of next-generation reactors such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). The findings from this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the thermal behavior in advanced reactors, facilitating better decision-making in reactor design and operation.
