THERMAL-HYDRAULICS IN LIQUID METAL FAST REACTORS
Dr. Antoine GerschenfeldCEA, France
29 January 2020
Meet the Presenter
Dr. Antoine Gerschenfeld earned his PhD from Ecole Normale Supérieure,
France, in 2012, and has been coordinating R&D on the thermal-hydraulics of
Sodium Fast Reactors at the Commissariat a l Energie Atomique et aus Energies
Alternatives (CEA)'s Thermal-Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics Section (STMF)
since 2013. In that capacity, he has led the development of a subchannel
thermal-hydraulics code (TrioMC) as well as the development of a tool for
coupling coarse and fine models in a single reactor-scale simulation (MATHYS).
He has also been involved in a number of collaborations: bilateral exchanges
with DOE, JAEA and IPPE; EURATOM projects on liquid-metal reactors; and in
international GIF, NEA and IAEA working groups.
