(SATURN CDT) Prediction and Mitigation of Flow-Induced Vibration in Nuclear Thermowell Instrumentation for Current and Next-Generation Reactors

Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. UoM_Nuclear. The Challenge. Temperature measurement is not glamorous — until it fails. In a nuclear power plant, a thermowell is the slender protective sheath that keeps a temperature sensor alive inside a pipe carrying coolant at 350°C, 150 bar, and flow velocities exceeding 10 m/s.
