Transient thermal hydraulics, heat transfer, and coupled vessel and piping responses. PVP-Volume 311

This symposium addresses subjects involving transient fluid dynamics and heat transfer, their effects on structural responses, and fluid-structure interactions. The papers presented in this symposium discuss fluid transients, shock pressures, fluid forces giving rise to structural vibrations, chaotic system of two-phase flows, heat transfer, and other related subjects. Periodic or oscillating flows leading to steady as well as unstable vibrations are discussed. Analytical methods, including simple models suitable for conservative safety analyses, are presented. In addition, papers discussing experimental as well as numerical results are presented. Separate abstracts were prepared for most of the papers in this conference.
