Development of the PROTEUS and ANSYS Coupled System for Simulating Heat Pipe Cooled Micro Reactors
- Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
The objective of this project is to develop the coupled system of PROTEUS/ANSYS for simulating a heat pipe cooled micro reactor. As an initial effort, while figuring out controlling ANSYS Mechanical with Workbench, the coupled system of PROTEUS/FLUENT in the CORBA environment were tried to demonstrate the coupled simulation for a transient problem of a heat pipe cooled micro reactor. Finally, the coupled system of PROTEUS/ANSYS was constructed using APDL commands in the CORBA environment, instead of ANSYS Workbench, since we found that ANSYS with the current version of Workbench Python scripting did not provide capabilities necessary for simulating a transient problem.
