ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

An array of parallel flat plates is considered in which there are inlet deviations in the spacing. Analytic predictions are made of the effect of these deviations on the flow-induced deflections of the plates. It is shown that in the vicinity of Miller’s critical velocity, small deviations are sufficient to cause large deflections. Lesser deflections are predicted for lower flow rates.
