Numerical analysis of buoyancy-driven exchange flow with regard to an HTTR air ingress accident

Journal Article Fumizawa, Motoo ; Kunugi, Tomoaki ; Hishida, Makoto ; ... - Nuclear Technology

A three-dimensional thermal-hydraulic code using boundary-fitted coordinates systems has been developed to predict incompressible flows with complex geometries and large variations of physical properties. This code has been applied to a buoyancy-driven exchange flow in an enclosed space consisting of an upper and lower hemisphere connected with a circular vertical pipe. The computational results have been compared with experiments. It was found that the computed heat transfer rate was smaller than that obtained from the experimental correlation in a single hemisphere at large Rayleigh number. This may be attributed to the effect on the flow behavior of a large variationmore »« less
A numerical study on buoyancy-driven flow in an inclined square enclosure heated and cooled on adjacent walls

Journal Article Aydin, O ; Uenal, A ; Ayhan, T - Numerical Heat Transfer. Part A, Applications

Buoyancy-driven flows in enclosures play a vital role in many engineering applications such as double glazing, ventilation of rooms, nuclear reactor insulation, solar energy collection, cooling of electronic components, and crystal growth in liquids. Here, numerical study on buoyancy-driven laminar flow in an inclined square enclosure heated from one side and cooled from the adjacent side is conducted using finite difference methods. The effect of inclination angle on fluid flow and heat transfer is investigated by varying the angle of inclination between 0{degree} and 360{degree}, and the results are presented in the form of streamlines and isotherms for different inclinationmore »« less

Buoyancy-driven convection in a rectangular enclosure: experimental results and numerical calculations

Conference Bauman, F ; Gadgil, A ; Kammerud, R ; ...

Within the building sciences, little attention has been given to buoyancy-driven convection in room geometries at the large Rayleigh numbers which typify full-scale structures. Natural convective heat transfer processes are fundamental to the operation of many passive solar systems. In order to fully understand system performance and to allow design optimization, the characteristics of this heat transfer process must be examined from first principles. For this reason, an investigation of two- and three-dimensional buoyancy-driven convection in rectangular enclosures at Rayleigh numbers approaching 10/sup 10/ has been initiated at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The technical details of the experimental analysis performed tomore »« less
Buoyancy-driven flow with large viscosity variations in a square enclosure

Book Chopin, T R

Steady, buoyancy-driven flow of an incompressible fluid within a square enclosure is studied. The fluid viscosity is highly temperature dependent, ranging over three orders of magnitude. The flow is studied for three different values of the Rayleigh number, Ra = 10{sup 4}, 10{sup 5}, and 10{sup 6}. The intent of this study is to examine or assess the numerical accuracy of modelling the diffusion terms in the conservation equations with a variable property. The problem is modeled and solved using the finite element based code ANSYS/FLOTRAN{trademark} computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program. Results include dimensionless temperature, velocity, shear stress and pressuremore »« less
Large-scale simulations of buoyancy-driven turbulent nuclear burning.

Conference Townsley, D M ; Bair, R A ; Dubey, A ; ... - J. Phys.: Conf. Ser.

An critical uncertainty in modeling thermonuclear supernovae is the degree of enhancement of the burning rate by turbulence during the subsonic burning (deflagration) phase. As turbulent combustion in the laboratory is still an active area of research, this remains a challenging problem. A unique feature of turbulent combustion in supernovae is that the driving of the turbulence arises from the strong buoyancy of the burned material. We discuss the large-scale fully three dimensional studies under way. These studies have the goals of characterizing the essential length scales of flame surface structure and thereby developing specific requirements that models of small-scalemore »« less
