Simulating HFIR Core Thermal Hydraulics Using 3D-2D Model Coupling

A model utilizing interdimensional variable coupling is presented for simulating the thermal hydraulic interactions of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) core at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The model s domain consists of a single, explicitly represented three-dimensional fuel plate and a simplified two-dimensional coolant channel slice. In simplifying the coolant channel, and thus the number of mesh points in which the Navier-Stokes equations must be solved, the computational cost and solution time are both greatly reduced. In order for the reduced-dimension coolant channel to interact with the explicitly represented fuel plate, however, interdimensional variable coupling must be enacted along all shared boundaries. The primary focus of this paper is in detailing the collection, storage, passage, and application of variables across this interdimensional interface. Comparisons are made showing the general speed-up associated with this simplified coupled model.

A fully coupled 3D transport model in SPH for multi-species reaction-diffusion systems

Abstract—In this paper we present a fully generalized transport model for multiple species in complex two and threedimensional geometries. Based on previous work [1] we have extended our interfacial reaction-diffusion model to handle arbitrary numbers of species allowing for coupled reaction models. Each species is tracked independently and we consider different physics of a species with respect to the bulk phases in contact. We use our SPH model to simulate the reaction-diffusion problem on a pore-scale level of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with special emphasize on the effect of surface diffusion.
