Abstract
This paper will present solving coolant dynamics using Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for single heated channel. Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using finite difference, finite element or finite volume has been widely used for solving coolant dynamics. However, two-phase coolant flow such as Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) case has accurate model challenge. LBM is an alternative way to solve transient coolant flow. Simulation was done for D1Q2, D2Q3, D2Q4 and D2Q5.
