"The most important Component in the design process is the analysis of nuclear thermalhidroliknya," said the head of the Center for the study of energy (PSE), Gadjah Mada University (UGM), Yogyakarta, Deendarlianto on Thursday (14/3/2013).
So, according to him, how to analyze the flow of fridanya, heat transfer analysis until it comes to the structural integrity, is associated with the ability of the reactor components materials withstand the heat that is transferred.
"The concept of nuclear reactors is actually simple because in it there are several fields of science, such as materials science, neutronik, and thermalhidrolik. Thermalhidrolik is part of the reactor's safety, "he said.
He said in the United States (US) no such thing as "nuclear energy comission" and in Germany there is also a similar institution. One of the highlights in the process of design and operation of the reactor safe is thermalhidrolik.
"One of the solutions to be used is the use of Computasional Fluid Dinamics (CFD). GADJAH MADA UNIVERSITY with several universities in Germany actively developing CFD Codes, "he said.
According to him, the CFD Codes is developing CFD codes in order to analyze and predict the conditions of nuclear reactors. Each year the PSE UGM teamed up with Germany's largest research centers, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR).
"Shapes of various activities, including joint research, exchange of students, and a ' scientist ' action. The results we obtain didesiminasikan to Bapeten, "he said.
He says, the PSE and the UNIVERSITY has research that Bapeten almost the same. All research didesiminasikan by way of "sharing", complement each other, critiquing each other's capabilities and of the two institutions.
"The purpose is to make relationships more clearly in order to fill the existing cooperation between the UNIVERSITY and Bapeten. So, how do we develop our skills, especially in the field of CFD thermalhidrolik a deeper, "he said.
