[EN] In the computational modeling of two-phase flow, many uncertainties are usually faced in simulations and validations with experiments. This has traditionally made it difficult to provide a general method to predict ...
Air-water two-phase flow is present in natural and industrial processes of different nature as nuclear
reactors. An accurate local prediction of the boiling flow could support safety and operation
analyses of nuclear ...
[EN] An Eulerian-Eulerian approach was investigated to model adiabatic bubbly flow with CFD techniques. In the framework of the OpenFOAM (R) software, a two-fluid model solver was modified to include a population balance ...
Nuclear fuel bundles include spacers essentially for mechanical stability and to influence the flow dynamics and heat transfer phenomena along the fuel rods. This work presents the analysis of the turbulence effects of a ...
Peña Monferrer, Carlos(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2017-11-06)
The study and modelling of two-phase flow, even the simplest ones such as the bubbly flow, remains a challenge that requires exploring the physical phenomena from different spatial and temporal resolution levels. CFD ...
[EN] This paper presents a new one-dimensional solver for two-phase flow simulations where boiling is involved.
The solver has been implemented within the OpenFOAM® platform. The basic formulation follows the Eulerian

El estudio del comportamiento del flujo multifásico y su
modelado ha sufrido un gran cambio con la introducción de los
programas CFD, y el avance en los sistemas de medida. La
resolución temporal y espacial de los ...
