Abstract

We have a developed a computer code that simulates 3-D filtration of suspended particles in fluids in realistic filter structures. This code, being the most advanced filtration simulation package developed to date, provides LLNL and DOE with new capabilities to address problems in cleaning liquid wastes, medical fluid cleaning, and recycling liquids. The code is an integrated system of commercially available and LLNL-developed software; the most critical are the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver and the particle transport program. For the CFD solver, we used a commercial package based on Navier-Stokes equations and a LLNL-developed package based on Boltzman-lattice gas equations. For the particle transport program, we developed a cod based on the 3-D Langevin equation of motion and the DLVO theory of electrical interactions. A number of additional supporting packages were purchased or developed to integrate the simulation tasks and to provide visualization output.

Tracking Radioactive Isotopes in HVAC and Application for Hot Cell Analyses - 20155

Conference Smelley, Samantha; George, Thomas; Lane, Jefrey; ...

In recent years, the surge in the number of isotope production facilities under design has increased the need to analyze isotope migration in facility Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) during normal operations and accident scenarios. These facilities are used to produce isotopes for medical, security, and industrial applications and as such are subject to license and regulatory requirements 10CFR20, 10CFR30, 10CFR50, and 10CFR70. GOTHIC, a general-purpose thermal-hydraulics software package, includes the ability to model isotopic tracers, radioactive decay and isotope migration as well as HEPA and charcoal filters for isotope retention. A GOTHIC model was developed by Zachry Nuclearmore »« less
Development of an Immersed Boundary Method to Resolve Complex Terrain in the Weather Research and Forecasting Model

Conference Lunquist, K; Chow, F; Lundquist, J; ...

Flow and dispersion processes in urban areas are profoundly influenced by the presence of buildings which divert mean flow, affect surface heating and cooling, and alter the structure of turbulence in the lower atmosphere. Accurate prediction of velocity, temperature, and turbulent kinetic energy fields are necessary for determining the transport and dispersion of scalars. Correct predictions of scalar concentrations are vital in densely populated urban areas where they are used to aid in emergency response planning for accidental or intentional releases of hazardous substances. Traditionally, urban flow simulations have been performed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes which can accommodatemore »« less

Phase I SBIR Final Report- FieldView-HO: a generalized high order FEM framework for engineering CFD in situ and post hoc data analysis and visualization

Technical Report Duque, Earl

JMSI Inc d.b.a. Intelligent Light has completed Phase I SBIR research supporting the development of a new generalized high order Scientific and Engineering Data Analysis and Visualization (SEDAV) software tool based upon MFEM, a finite element library from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). MFEM is currently used by the LLNL solver code, BLAST, for reactive flow simulations and also by LLNL’s SEDAV software VisIt. This new offering, named FieldView-HO, utilizes high order (HO) finite elements (FEM) integrated throughout the visualization/analysis pipeline to give scientists and engineers a tool to visualize and analyze their high order FEM based CFD results andmore »« less
Filtration theory using computer simulations

Conference Bergman, W; Corey, I

We have used commercially available fluid dynamics codes based on Navier-Stokes theory and the Langevin particle equation of motion to compute the particle capture efficiency and pressure drop through selected two- and three- dimensional fiber arrays. The approach we used was to first compute the air velocity vector field throughout a defined region containing the fiber matrix. The particle capture in the fiber matrix is then computed by superimposing the Langevin particle equation of motion over the flow velocity field. Using the Langevin equation combines the particle Brownian motion, inertia and interception mechanisms in a single equation. In contrast, mostmore »« less
