Book Description
The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is proposed for studying hydrodynamic processes related to nuclear engineering problems. A problem of possible recriticality due to the sloshing motions of the molten reactor core is studied with SPH method. The accuracy of the numerical solution obtained in this study with the SPH method is significantly higher than that obtained with the SIMMER-III/IV reactor safety analysis code.

Safety of Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors
Author: Songbai Cheng
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811661162
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
This book highlights the advances and trends in the safety analysis of sodium-cooled fast reactors, especially from the perspective of particle bed-related phenomena during core disruptive accidents. A sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) is an optimized candidate of the next-generation nuclear reactor systems. Its safety is a critical issue during its R&D process. The book elaborates on research progresses in particle bed-related phenomena in terms of the molten-pool mobility, the molten-pool sloshing motion, the debris bed formation behavior, and the debris bed self-leveling behavior. The book serves as a good reference for researchers, professionals, and postgraduate students interested in sodium-cooled fast reactors. Knowledge provided is also useful for those who are engaging in severe accident analysis for lead-cooled fast reactors and light water reactors.

Numerical Simulation of the Gravity-Inertial Spreading of Oil Using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
Author: Carlos Alberto Dutra Fraga Filho
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1036409112
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Oil spills at sea are a severe environmental concern. They can occur during the various stages of well-drilling, repair operations or transportation. The spreading of oil occurs due to the pollutant's tendency to flow over itself. Knowledge of its physical properties during the phenomenon, such as velocities and spatial positions, allows the timely adoption of environmental protection measures. This book presents, in a simple and objective way, the development and implementation of purely Lagrangian numerical modelling using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method for the study of the spreading of oil in its first stage (gravity-inertial regime) on a calm sea. The computational code's implementation and validation were carried out through the simulation of classical problems in the scientific literature, i.e., heat diffusion in a homogeneous flat plate, a still volume of water inside an immobile reservoir and a dam failure. From the coupling of the software with a collision detection and response algorithm, numerical results in concordance with the curve adjusted by James Fay (a pioneering scientist in the study of oil spills) for the prediction of oil slick diameters at the end of the gravity-inertial regime were achieved.

CFD Applications in Nuclear Engineering

ISBN: 2832533264

Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
High fidelity nuclear reactor thermal hydraulic simulations are a hot research topic in the development of nuclear engineering technology. The three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Multi-phase Fluid Dynamics (CMFD) methods have attracted significant attention in predicting single-phase and multi-phase flows under steady-state or transient scenarios in the field of nuclear reactor engineering. Compared with three-dimensional thermal hydraulic methods, the traditional one-dimensional system analysis method contains inherent defects in the required accuracy and spatial resolution for a number of important nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulic phenomena. At present the CFD method has been widely adopted in the nuclear industry, across both light water reactors and liquid metal cooled fast reactors, providing an effective solution for complex issues of thermal hydraulic analysis. However, the CFD method employs empirical models for turbulence simulation, heat transfer, multi-phase interaction and chemical reactions. Such models must be validated before they can be used with confidence in nuclear reactor applications. In addition, user practice guidelines play a critical role in achieving reliable results from CFD simulations.
