Crate tuas_boussinesq_solver

Expand description

A Library which contains useful traits and methods for thermal hydraulics calculations in salt loops

This crate has heavy reliance on units of measure (uom) released under Apache 2.0 license. So you’ll need to get used to unit safe calculations with uom as well.

This library was initially developed for use in my PhD thesis under supervision of Professor Per F. Peterson. It a thermal hydraulics library in Rust that is released under the GNU General Public License v 3.0. This is partly due to the fact that some of the libraries inherit from GeN-Foam and OpenFOAM, both licensed under GNU General Public License v3.0.

As such, the entire library is released under GNU GPL v3.0. It is a strong copyleft license which means you cannot use it in proprietary software.

License This is a thermal hydraulics library written in rust meant to help with the fluid mechanics and heat transfer aspects of the calculations for the Compact Integral Effects Tests (CIET) and hopefully Gen IV Reactors such as the Fluoride Salt cooled High Temperature Reactor (FHR)

boundary_conditions: Module for boundary conditions
boussinesq_thermophysical_properties: Module specifically for thermophysical properties For liquids and solids with almost invariable density
control_volume_dimensions: specific dimensions for control volume construction
fluid_mechanics_correlations: Module for correlations of fluid mechanics suitable for tuas_boussinesq_solver (single phase, negligble density changes except for buoyancy) License This file is part of a thermal hydraulics library written in rust meant to help with the fluid mechanics and heat transfer aspects of the calculations for the Compact Integral Effects Tests (CIET) and hopefully Gen IV Reactors such as the Fluoride Salt cooled High Temperature Reactor (FHR)
