Abstract:
This study is concerned with the fluid dynamics of gaseous fission reactors and in particular with those reactors which utilize a vortex flow to separate the nuclear fuel from the propellant gas. Such systems may provide a means of extending the performance of nuclear rockets well beyond those values projected for the solid-core or Kiwi type reactors. The research program includes both analytical and experimental investigations of single and multiple vortex systems. Experimental apparatus is described. A comparison of the relative performance of the vortex matrix and single-cell vortex is presented as well as other theoretical and experimental results. Author
