Comprehensive Characterization of Motion of a Helical Coil Due to Flow Induced Vibration

Creator:

Harmon, Paul L.

Abstract:

Mechanical vibrations compromise the integrity of key components of thermal power plants. Without careful design, strong resonances during steady state operation can wear these components to the point of failure, leading to an unsafe situation that may force a plant to shut down. The purpose of this research is to...

A study of opposing mixed convection in the GRTS and in downward pipe flows using the FLUENT CFD code

Creator:

Jackson, R. Brian

Abstract:

Downward flow opposing mixed convection conditions have been studied using the FLUENT CFD code. This work was comprised of two primary objectives. The first was to study core channel flow reversal susceptibility in the Gas Reactor Test Section (GRTS) at low flow conditions. The second objective was the development of...
