Experiments with partially-reflected square-pitched arrays of water-moderated 6.9 enriched UO{sub 2} fuel rods - 14593

The Seven Percent Critical Experiment (7uPCX) at Sandia National Laboratories was designed to provide benchmark criticality and reactor physics data for water-moderated pin-fueled nuclear reactor cores in the 5 to 10 percent enrichment range. Approach-to-critical experiments were performed on nineteen partially-reflected arrays of pure water-moderated and -reflected fuel rods with a fuel-to-water volume ratio of 0.67. Those configurations are described and the results of the measurements are reported in this paper. (authors)

Computation of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Phase-VI Rotor in Pitch Motion during Standstill

Previously, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computations of dynamic stall on wind turbine blades have been performed for stand still conditions with moderate success by among others the present authors. In the present work, numerical investigations are performed to illustrate the possibilities of state of the art CFD methods for this problem, including the numerical requirements as time-step and grid resolution. Additionally, the effect of different types of modeling is investigated, ranging from fully turbulent Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS), transitional RANS, to transitional delayed detached-eddy simulation computations. The investigation indicates that detailed information and fair agreement with measurements can be obtained.
