Time-series analysis to estimate aquifer parameters, recharge, and changes in the groundwater regime

The objective of this thesis is twofold: to develop time series analysis methods for the estimation of aquifer parameters and recharge to be used in groundwater models and to develop time series analysis methods for the identification and quantification of a regime change.<br/>In Chapter 2, a pumping test is replaced by time series analysis of...

Experimental and Analytical Modeling of Natural Circulation and Forced Circulation BWRs: Thermal-Hydraulic, Core-Wide, and Regional Stability Phenomena

Currently, 434 nuclear power plants are in operation worldwide. 21% of them are known as Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs). These BWRs have pumps that cool their reactor cores (the forced circulation BWRs). In the design of new BWRs, ways to cool the core by a natural circulation flow, without pumps, also called natural circulation BWRs, are being...
