Research summary
AI-generated

S M Kim works on nuclear reactor engineering topics, especially two-phase flow behavior (mixtures of gas and liquid) in pipes and reactor components, along with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of experimental reactor loops such as sodium and lead-bismuth eutectic systems. The research combines experimental measurements of pressure drop and flow patterns with simulation tools relevant to advanced and small modular reactor design. Some recent work also branches into unrelated areas like ferrofluid droplet dynamics and eye-tracking-based cognitive assessment, suggesting occasional interdisciplinary collaborations.
