Nowadays, code development and software engineering is essential to maintain and update existing software, as well as to generate new engineering capabilities by working on:
- Adding new capabilities such as graphical software and uncertainty evaluation.
- Introduce newly developed correlations and numerical techniques for testing and eventually incorporate them permanently or as an alternative option.
- Adapting existing codes to specific reactor design features such as multiple channels (Atucha NPP) and horizontal bundles (CANDU), and Gen-IV reactor designs such as new fluids and heat transfer correlations.
- Generating coupling interfaces to have more detailed calculations
ENSO has a long experience in software engineering solutions. The members of the team have worked in the implementation of new fluid properties, new correlations, derivation and implementation of new flow regime maps.
