Thesis: S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, 2017. / This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections. / Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis. / Includes bibliographical references (pages 73-76). / Advanced modelIng and sImulatIon (M&S) of nuclear systems could offer a key contrIbutIon In enhancIng the competItIveness and safety performance of nuclear power plants. Large multI-organIzatIonal InItIatIves such as the ConsortIum for Advanced SImulatIon of LIght Water Reactors (CASL) and the Nuclear Energy Advanced ModelIng and SImulatIon (NEAMS) emphasIzes the Importance of M&S research to the U.S. nuclear Industry. UncertaInty QuantIfIcatIon (UQ) represents a fundamental area of research necessary to expand the applIcatIon of M&S Into nuclear Industry, but the fIeld Is stIll not mature, and no general consensus exIsts on current UQ methods. In thIs study, the ASME V&V20 I a proposed methodology for UQ of CFD -- Is applIed to a benchmark nuclear system turbulent mIxIng case In an effort to assess the applIcabIlIty and lImItatIons of the standard. / by Andres Felipe Alvarez. / S.B.
