CHAI Xiang

CHAI Xiang is an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research interests include innovative nuclear reactor technology, multiphysics coupling, and intelligent control. He has conducted studies on heat transfer phenomena during single drop impingement on a hot surface and has published several papers in SCI-indexed journals. His work has been supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. CHAI holds a PhD from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and a Master's and Bachelor's degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Xiang Chai is a researcher at Shanghai Jiaotong University focusing on nuclear engineering and thermal-hydraulics. Their work involves computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of flow blockage phenomena in lead-bismuth cooled reactor systems, experimental investigation of forced mixing in pressurized water reactor fuel assemblies, and numerical simulation of thermal-hydraulic behaviors in nuclear reactor components. Chai also explores heat pipe applications in microreactors, including transient heat transfer performance and multi-physics coupled simulations for reactor systems. Research extends to Brayton cycle optimization, multiphysics models for nuclear reactors, and digital twin technologies for space nuclear power. Their studies emphasize the integration of neutronics, thermal-hydraulics, and advanced computational methods for reactor design and safety analysis.
