Wave Propagation Algorithms and Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Cfd Simulations of Potential Hydrogen Explosions in Nuclear Containment Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a high resolution, finite-volume Cartesian grid method for simulating potential explosions in nuclear containment structures. The basic method is a Godunov-type method that relies on the solution to non-linear Riemann problems at the interfaces between cells of a uniform Cartesian mesh. We have extended these methods to general quadrilateral and hexahedral adaptively refined grids. Twoand three-dimensional results are presented for a simplified combustion problem in a nuclear containment facility.

Simulation of Wave Propagation over Coastal Structures Using WCSPH Method
In this paper a space-averaged Navier–Stokes approach was deployed to simulate the wave propagation over coastal structures. The developed model is based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) method which is a pure Lagrangian approach and can handle large deformations of the free surface with high accuracy. In this study, the large eddy simulation (LES) turbulent model was coupled with th...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Physics-Based Method for the Solution of One-Dimensional Wave Motion Problems
In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...

متن کاملA two dimensional Simulation of crack propagation using Adaptive Finite Element Analysis
Finite element method (FEM) is one of the most famous methods which has many applications in varies studies such as the study of crack propagation in engineering structures. However, unless extremely fine meshes are employed, problem arises in accurately modelling the singular stress field in the singular element area around the crack tip. In the present study, the crack growth simulation has b...
