Study of natural circulation in a VHTR after a LOFA using different turbulence models

Journal Article Tung, Yu-Hsin ; Ferng, Yuh-Ming ; Johnson, Richard W. ; ... - Nuclear Engineering and Design

Natural convection currents in the core are anticipated in the event of the failure of the gas circulator in a prismatic gas-cooled very high temperature reactor (VHTR). The paths that the helium coolant takes in forming natural circulation loops and the effective heat transport are of interest. The heated flow in the reactor core is turbulent during normal operating conditions and at the beginning of the LOFA with forced convection, but the flow may significantly be slowed down after the event and laminarized with mixed convection. In the present study, the potential occurrence and effective heat transport of natural circulationmore »« less

A numerical resolution study of high order essentially non-oscillatory schemes applied to incompressible flow. Final Report

Technical Report Weinan, E ; Shu, Chi-Wang

High order essentially non-oscillatory (ENO) schemes, originally designed for compressible flow and in general for hyperbolic conservation laws, are applied to incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions. The projection to divergence-free velocity fields is achieved by fourth order central differences through Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) and a mild high-order filtering. The objective of this work is to assess the resolution of ENO schemes for large scale features of the flow when a coarse grid is used and small scale features of the flow, such as shears and roll-ups, are not fully resolved.

A numerical study of the axisymmetric Couette-Taylor problem using a fast high-resolution second-order central scheme

Journal Article Kupferman, R - SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing

The author presents a numerical study of the axisymmetric Couette-Taylor problem using a finite difference scheme. The scheme is based on a staggered version of a second-order central-differencing method combined with a discrete Hodge projection. The use of central-differencing operators obviates the need to trace the characteristic flow associated with the hyperbolic terms. The result is a simple and efficient scheme which is readily adaptable to other geometries and to more complicated flows. The scheme exhibits competitive performance in terms of accuracy, resolution, and robustness. The numerical results agree accurately with linear stability theory and with previous numerical studies.
