Cranberry Township, PA

BWR safety analysis methods: developed a methodology and associated computer code (CHRONOS) to simulate steam-hammer problems for BWRs. The CHRONOS computer code is written entirely in Fortran 90 and it is coupled to a 3D acoustic solver (WAVE3D)Digital Signal Processing & Acoustics: Developed de-noising algorithms for acoustic signals based on the wavelet.
