Adam Dix works on nuclear engineering, focusing on the thermal and fluid behavior of advanced reactor designs. His research includes experiments and modeling of two-phase flows (mixtures of gas bubbles and liquid, such as air and water), pressure drop and friction in fuel rod bundles used in sodium-cooled fast reactors, and computer code validation for simulating reactor coolant flow. This work supports the design and safety analysis of next-generation nuclear reactors, including sodium fast reactors and the Versatile Test Reactor.
