| Abstract Molten Salt Fast Reactors (MSFRs) utilize liquid fuel. The fuel itself is cooling the reactor as well as generating the power. The EVOL design was selected as the base reactor, which has homogeneous fuel flow. When the reactor dimensions are reduced to Small Modular Reactor (SMR) scales, re-circulation zones start to form. The existence of these zones disrupts flow homogeneity. The disruption affects the neutronic behavior of the reactor. This study aims to mitigate these re-circulation regions by optimizing the reactor geometry for uniform flow distribution. Various geometric modifications, including different inlet configurations and wall curvatures to the EVOL design, were investigated through Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations. A final 6-inlet, 6-outlet sm-MSR model was developed. The developed model does not need additional mixing devices or complexity (such as diffusers, guides, etc … |
