Research Interests
Dr. Petrov’s research focus area is experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with main focus on nuclear power plant applications. His current main activities are: a) validation and further development of CFD models for subcooled boiling and b) multiphysics modeling of CRUD deposition on reactor fuel rods. Both activities are carried out within the DOE/CASL (Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors) project.
