Pronghorn: Advanced Reactor Thermal-Hydraulics Code

Specializes in modeling gas-cooled reactors, filling the gap between detailed CFD and lumped system models.
Technology No. CW-19-18

Pronghorn is a multi-dimensional, coarse-mesh, thermal-hydraulics code for advanced reactors and is particularly well-suited to model gas-cooled pebble bed and prismatic reactors. It serves the intermediate fidelity realm situated between detailed computational fluid dynamics analysis and lumped system models.

This software is a controlled nuclear code, subject to a special release process due to its sensitive nature. To request access, please visit the Nuclear Computational Resource Center and create an account.
