Direct Numerical Simulation of Fluid Flow in a 5x5 Square Rod Bundle Using Nek5000
Adam Kraus, Elia Merzari, Thomas Norddine +2
Rod bundle flows are commonplace in nuclear engineering, and are present in light water reactors (LWRs) as well as other more advanced concepts. Inhomogeneities in the bundle cross…
Towards Direct Numerical Simulation of a 5x5 Rod Bundle
Adam Kraus, Elia Merzari, Thomas Norddine +2
Rod bundle flows are prevalent in nuclear engineering for both light water reactors (LWR) and advanced reactor concepts. Unlike canonical channel flow, the flow in rod bundles pres…
The effect of varying viscosity in turbulent channel flow
Victor Coppo Leite, Elia Merzari
In this article we examine channel flow subject to spatially varying viscosity in the streamwise direction. The Reynolds number is imposed locally with three different ramps. The s…
Spectral Element Methods for Liquid Metal Reactors Applications
Elia Merzari, Aleksandr Obabko, Paul Fischer
Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program aims to develop an integrated multiphysics simulation capability for th…
On the Strong Scaling of the Spectral Element Solver Nek5000 on Petascale Systems
Nicolas Offermans, Oana Marin, Michel Schanen +7
The present work is targeted at performing a strong scaling study of the high-order spectral element fluid dynamics solver Nek5000. Prior studies indicated a recommendable metric f…
