Title: Multidimensional theoretical/computational modeling of non-coaxial SBS. Final report

Abstract

In this report computational model of transient transverse stimulated Brillouin scattering in anisotropic crystals and computational code based on this model are described. Some calculational results for angular distribution of gain coefficients and temporal growth of parasitic transverse Stokes radiation are also described.

    This report describes the simulation of the dispersion and dilution of dissolved or finely suspended contaminants entering the Clinch river from White Oak Creek. The work is accomplished through the application of a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. This study assumes that contaminants originating in the White Oak Creed watershed, which drains Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will eventually reach the mouth of White Oak Creek and be discharged into the clinch River. The numerical model was developed to support the analysis of the off-site consequences of releases from the ORNL liquid low-level waste system. The system contains storage tanksmore » and transfer lines in Bethel Valley and Melton Valley. Under certain failure modes, liquid low-level waste could be released to White Oak Creek or Melton Branch to White Oak Creek and eventually be discharged to the Clinch River. Since the Clinch River has unrestricted access by the public and water usage from the Clinch River is not controlled by the Department of Energy, such a liquid low-level waste spill would create the possibility of public exposure to the contaminant. This study is limited to the dispersion of the contaminants downstream of the confluence of White Oak Creek.« less

  • Research to establish a general method to assess the performance and reliability of computer codes for the numerical approximation of linear operators is reported. The neutron transport operator was chosen as model. The general approach to solving the error problem and the use of benchmarks are sketched. This report contains only a brief administrative summary; references are given to forty reports and publications that contain detailed information. (RWR)

    This paper reports part of a study of possible severe pressurized water reactor (PWR) accidents. The need for containment modeling, and in particular for a hydrogen risk study, was reinforced in France after 1990, with the requirement that severe accidents must be taken into account in the design of future plants. This new need of assessing the transient local hydrogen concentration led to the development, in the Mechanical Engineering and Technology Department of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA/DMT), of the multidimensional code GEYSER/TONUS for containment analysis. A detailed example of the use of this code is presented. The mixturemore » consisted of noncondensable gases (air or air plus hydrogen) and water vapor and liquid water. This is described by a compressible homogeneous two-phase flow model and wall condensation is based on the Chilton-Colburn formula and the analogy between heat and mass transfer. Results are given for a transient two-dimensional axially-symmetric computation for the first hour of a simplified accident sequence. In this there was an initial injection of a large amount of water vapor followed by a smaller amount and by hydrogen injection.« less

    This report describes a project to develop computational models of reacting flows that combine the efforts of detailed chemical kinetics with complex fluid mechanics to form an integrated analytical code. Initial efforts were aimed at solutions for counterflow diffusion flames; this model incorporated both finite rate chemistry and complex kinetic-theory transport effects. Next, a flame-sheet model was used to provide improved starting estimates for the calculations. A combination of time integration and Newton's method was used to solve the flame-sheet and finite-rate equations. Success with the one-dimensional model led to the development of a more-generalized two-dimensional model. A parallel effortmore » investigated ways to improve the computational efficiency of the primitive variable implementation of the TEACH code. Further generalization of these ideas to axisymmetric (laminar and turbulent) diffusion flame studies will be the focus of a follow-on project.« less

    The flame type of most practical combustion devices is the diffusion flame. These flames are important in the interaction of heat and mass transfer with chemical reactions in ramjets, jet turbines and commercial burners. Three-dimensional models that couple the effects of fluid flow with detailed chemical reaction are as yet computationally infeasible. We focus our attention on axisymmetric laminar and turbulent diffusion flames in which a cylindrical fuel stream is surrounded by a coflowing oxidizer jet. In this configuration we can study the interaction of fluid flow with chemical reactions while obtaining a computationally feasible problem. The work centers onmore » the development and application of accurate and efficient computational methods for the solution of the two-dimensional nonlinear boundary value problems describing the reacting systems. In particular, our goals involve the generalization of our one-dimensional fluid-chemistry model to two dimensions. We also focus on the use of two-dimensional flame sheet models as starting estimates for the nonlinear equation solver. Both confined and free methane-air flames have been studied. The results of the research are applicable to problems in (1) turbulent reacting flows, (2) engine efficiency, (3) commercial power generation units and (4) pollutant formation.« less
