معرفی
Glenn Harvel is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Physics at McMaster University. His research spans nuclear engineering, thermal hydraulics, neutron radiography, and supercritical fluid dynamics, with a focus on reactor safety, decommissioning, and advanced cooling systems.
Research Interests:
His work integrates experimental and computational approaches to address challenges in nuclear technology. Key areas include:
- Thermal-hydraulic behavior of supercritical fluids in reactor cores
- Neutron radiography for non-invasive flow measurement
- Electrohydrodynamic applications in plasma-based systems
- Machine learning for nuclear maintenance optimization
- Small modular reactor (SMR) deployment for remote communities
Publication Trends:
Recent articles emphasize data-driven methods for nuclear maintenance, SMR feasibility studies, and decontamination tool development. Earlier work focused on experimental characterization of heat transfer fluids and CFD validation for supercritical water systems.
Labs and Teams:
Implied collaboration through conference papers and multidisciplinary topics (e.g., plasma physics, materials science, AI), though no specific labs or teams are named.
