Welcome to the Advanced Reactor Design Simulation (ARDS) group in the department of Nuclear Engineering at Dhaka University!
ARDS focuses on advanced nuclear reactor design simulation, which involves using computer models to predict the behavior of next-generation nuclear reactors under various operating conditions. These simulations can consider factors such as advanced fuel behavior, thermal-hydraulics, radiation shielding, and neutronics. Neutronics, in particular, is a branch of nuclear engineering that deals with studying the behavior of neutrons in a reactor and their interactions with the fuel and the surrounding materials. It is essential to the design and operation of nuclear reactors as it determines the distribution of power throughout the core and the performance of the fuel. Another important aspect is the thermal-hydraulic analysis which can simulate the flow of coolant and predict the temperature and pressure within a reactor. These simulations can also be used to evaluate the performance of advanced reactors and identify potential issues that may arise during operation. By combining neutronics, kinetics, and thermal-hydraulics, engineers at ARDS are doing comprehensive studies of the behavior of advanced reactors under various operating conditions and making adjustments to the design to improve safety and efficiency.
Our goal is to ensure that our research is widely available to the public and that we work closely with other research teams. You can find our most recent work on Github, where we regularly share our findings.
