Thermal-Hydraulic Principles and Safety Analysis Guidelines of PWRs and SMRs presents key phenomena, models, advantages, and drawbacks of current methods. The book guides the reader through the preparation and review of the thermal-hydraulic part of a safety analysis report and equips them with the knowledge to perform thermal-hydraulic studies with confidence. Starting with an introduction to thermal-hydraulics and two-phase flows, the book covers key models such as the Homogeneous Equilibrium Model and Drift Flux, Main Phenomena and associated models, including critical flow, heat transfer and void fraction, and then moves onto cover nuclear safety analyses and code.

It contains fundamental tools to help readers understand complicated phenomena that can happen in various accidental conditions, along with key principles to help readers when using advanced simulation tools. This book is suitable for a broad audience, including non-specialized readers seeking independent advice and technicians or engineers working in nuclear facilities. It will provide students in engineering disciplines with a solid understanding of the thermal-hydraulics of nuclear reactors and safety, which will enable them to work safely and efficiently and drive research forward.

Christophe Herer is a fluid mechanics and energy engineer. He worked for more than 23 years at Framatome in core thermal-hydraulics where he was nominated senior expert. Christophe joined the IRSN international development division IRSN in 2009 where he managed several projects in Egypt, Jordan, Mexico among others. At the IRSN thermalhydraulic simulation department since 2013, he is responsible of the development of international collaborations and of innovative passive systems assessment. Christophe is also the chairman of the OECD/NEA WGAMA 3D SYSTH activity on 3D capabilities of thermalhydraulic system codes. Christophe Herer is also a regular lecturer at the engineering school ""Institut Mines Atlantique/ Ecole des Mines"" in Nantes (France).
