The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spread pattern continues to show that geographical barriers alone cannot contain a virus. Asymptomatic carriers play critical role in the nature of this virus quickly escalating into global pandemic. may transmit unintentionally through sporadic sneezing. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach has been proposed with realistic modeling human sneeze achieved by combination state-of-the-art experimental and numerical methods. This be suitable for...
At the beginning of last decade, Petascale supercomputers (i.e., computers capable more than 1 petaFLOP) emerged. Now, at dawn exascale supercomputing, we provide a review recent landmark simulations portions reactor components with turbulence-resolving techniques that this computational power has made possible. In fact, these have provided invaluable insight into flow dynamics, which is difficult or often impossible to obtain experiments alone. We focus on performed spectral element method,...
Abstract A direct numerical simulation (DNS) of bare rod bundles with a low pitch-to-diameter ratio is performed heat transfer at different Prandtl numbers. Turbulence statistics for temperature and velocity as well the turbulent budgets have been collected. High-fidelity simulations are spectral element method (SEM) using Nek5000, highly scalable code. To pertain to industrial-related flows, bundle model based on Hooper Wood's (Hooper, J. D., Wood, 1984, “Fully Developed Rod Bundle Flow...
Abstract The development of fluoride-cooled high-temperature reactors has drastically increased the demand for an in-depth understanding heat transfer (HT) in packed beds cooled by liquid salts. complex flow fields and space-dependent porosity found a pebble bed require detailed to ensure proper cooling reactor core during normal accident conditions. As experimental data are complicated obtain these configurations, high-fidelity simulation such as large eddy direct numerical (DNS) can be...
The highly turbulent flow inside a pressurized water reactor makes unpractical the use of scale resolving simulations, due to large number space and time structures. high computational cost associated with typical eddies simulations or direct numerical techniques is unsuitable spatiotemporal resolution required. Partially averaged Navier-Stokes turbulence model presented as bridging between Reynolds equations simulations. As filtered representation equations, able continuously shift its...
Abstract A test campaign has been conducted to study the effects of localized blockages on friction factor a 61-pin wire-wrapped bundle replica. Blockages selected sizes and locations within have installed, fluid pressure drop was measured across one wire pitch. The compared with unblocked factor, predictions well-established correlation. computational dynamics model experimental prepared, simulations were results ultimate goal complement activity validated simulation data. unique sets data,...
