SIG Nuclear / Group members
From OpenFOAMWiki
- Carlo Fiorina, PhD (carlo.fiorina@psi.ch). Member of the special interest group since June 2014. PostDoctoral researcher at the EPFL (Switzerland). Active in the development of a coupled thermal-hydraulic / thermal-mechanics / neutron-transport solver for full-core transient analysis of nuclear reactors.
- Ivor Clifford, PhD (ivor.clifford@psi.ch). Member of SIG since June 2014. Scientific officer at Paul Scherrer Institut (Switzerland). Current focus is on the simulation of coolant flow, heat transfer and mixing in Light Water Reactors (LWR). Previous works includes simulation of neutronics and thermal-fluids in High Temperature Reactors (HTRs).
- Joachim Herb (Joachim.Herb@grs.de). Member of SIG since June 2014. Scientific officer at Gesellschaft für Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS) mbh (Germany). Current focus is on the development of a coupling between OpenFOAM and the GRS in-house thermo-hydraulics code ATHLET to simulate transients in LWR and liquid metal cooled reactors.
- Klas Jareteg (klas.jareteg@chalmers.se). Member of SIG since June 2014. PhD student at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden). Current focus is to develop coupled neutronics, fluid flow and heat transfer for Light Water Reactors (LWRs), using foam-extend. More info on me: klas.nephy.chalmers.se.
- Konstantin Mikityuk (konstantin.mikityuk@psi.ch). Member of SIG since September 2014. FAST reactors group leader. Interested in using and extending the GeN-Foam multiphysics solver for Gen-IV fast reactor applications (SFR and MSR). More info: http://www.psi.ch/fast.
- Manuele Aufiero (manuele.aufiero@berkeley.edu). Member since December 2014. Postdoc at University of California, Berkeley. Currently working on Monte Carlo/CFD coupling for transient reactor analysis and the development on new methods for uncertainty quantification in multiphysics reactor analysis.
