The objective of the benchmark was twofold. First, the benchmark aimed to evaluate currently available computational approaches in an effort to understand the strengths and weaknesses of current thermal-hydraulic codes. Second, the benchmark was intended to encourage the development of the next generation of approaches that focus more on microscopic processes.
