\"\"At the 18th<\/sup>\u00a0International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics (NURETH-18<\/a>), held this August 2019 in Portland OR, there was strong participation by\u00a0NC State\u2019s Nuclear Engineering<\/a>\u00a0faculty, graduate students and alumni.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Dr. Bolotnov\u2019s\u00a0<\/a>current and former students gave 5 oral presentations. They were authored by\u00a0Dr. Jun Fang (PhD in 2016), Dr. Mengnan Li (PhD in 2019) as well as current doctoral students Joseph Cambareri, Nadish Saini and Matthew Zimmer. In addition, Dr. Jun Fang presented an invited lecture on \u201cInterface Tracking Simulations of Gas-Liquid Two-phase Flows\u201d during the conference workshop on turbulence modeling.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Matthew Zimmer was selected as 1 of 3 recipients of the conference\u2019s Young Professional Award. This award is based on technical merits of the paper and is awarded to authors who qualify as\u00a0American Nuclear Society (ANS) young members<\/a>. It was entitled \u201cExploring two-phase flow regime transition mechanisms using high resolution virtual experiments\u201d.<\/div>\n
Approximately 15% of the best papers in the conference proceedings will be published in special issues of leading nuclear engineering journals. This year, all 5 contributions co-authored by Dr. Bolotnov received this prestigious publishing invitation. This honor continues the tradition of excellence in\u00a0thermal-hydraulics research at NC State University<\/a>, and in particular, NURETH participation. At NURETH-17 in Xi\u2019an China, 3 of the 3 papers from the multiphase research group were invited for journal publication.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

During the next year, 2 invited papers will be published in the peer-reviewed\u00a0Nuclear Science and Engineering<\/a>\u00a0\u2013<\/div>\n
