Large Eddy Simulation of Random Pebble Bed Using the Spectral Element Method
- Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
The high-fidelity simulations are performed with Nek5000/NekRS to show the importance of various phenomena associated with fluid flow and heat transfer through pebble beds. As a result of this work, Kairos Power and NEAMS have a better understanding of the behavior of pebble bed geometries. Kairos Power will leverage the data generated and conclusions reached as part of this investigation to help accelerate the deployment of their reactor design.
