title = "Analysis of the father experiment with an engineering method devoted to high cycle thermal fatigue",
abstract = "Nuclear power plants necessarily include connections of branches conveying fluids at different temperatures. Thermohydraulic fluctuations arising from the turbulent mixing of the flows may affect the inner wall of the pipes and lead to fatigue damage. The FATHER experiment was carried out in order to better understand this phenomenon of High Cycle Thermal Fatigue (HCTF). The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of the FATHER experiment with a simplified engineering method which is used in French nuclear industry to identify and classify zones presenting a HCTF risk.",
