Abstract

An attempt is made to identify perspectives in Nuclear Thermal-hydraulics (NTH). The scope and the purpose are to contribute to the heart objective of the present Specialists Meetings, i.e. to identify future researches which may drive the improvement in the field. Four roadmaps are pursued: 1) way-through papers published in a recent (2019) Special issue of the Journal Nuclear Engineering and Design [title: trends and perspectives in nuclear thermal-hydraulics]; 2) the list of 116 phenomena relevant in NTH; 3) the conclusions by a senior group of experts of Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) asked to find arguments to preserve existing experimental facilities; 4) a thinking approach from a clean slate. The first roadmap includes two paths: the former is an as far as possible comprehensive identification of new trends; the latter is a wide range spot investigation involving authors having expertise in different sub-fields of NTH. The second and the third roadmaps indirectly or directly concerned international cooperation and common visions. The fourth approach is an exotic way to address the objective and somewhat unrealisting in the current market driven context.
