Hash Hashemian: Visionary leadership
As Dr. Hashem M. “Hash” Hashemian prepares to step into his term as President of the American Nuclear Society, he is clear that he wants to make the most of this unique moment.
A groundswell in public approval of nuclear is finding a home in growing governmental support that is backed by a tailwind of technological innovation. “Now is a good time to be in nuclear,” Hashemian said, as he explained the criticality of this moment and what he hoped to accomplish as president.

A model for steam condensation in the presence of non-condensable gases is developed in the CFD package ANSYS CFX 16.1. Based on the Euler-Euler two-fluid approach, this model considers two different phases: a continuous gas phase, which is a mixture of air and steam, and a disperse liquid phase consisting of water droplets. Using the data of the CONAN test facility, the numerical error is quantified using the Grid Convergence Index method. The simulation results are then validated using the experimental data of the CONAN test facility. Finally, the applicability of the condensation modeling in the model containment THAI+ is tested.
