    A CFD numerical model for the flow distribution in a MTR fuel element
    2017 - ANDRADE, D.A.; ANGELOA, G.; ANGELO, E.; SANTOS, P.H.G.; OLIVEIRA, F.B.V.; TORRES, W.M.; UMBEHAUN, P.E.; SOUZA, J.A.B.; BELCHIOR JUNIOR, A.; SABUNDJIAN, G.; PRADO, A.C.
    Previously, an instrumented dummy fuel element (DMPV-01), with the same geometric characteristics of a MTR fuel element, was designed and constructed for pressure drop and flow distribution measurement experiments at the IEA-R1 reactor core. This dummy element was also used to measure the flow distribution among the rectangular flow channels formed by element fuel plates. A CFD numerical model was developed to complement the studies. This work presents the proposed CFD model as well as a comparison between numerical and experimental results of flow rate distribution among the internal flow channels. Numerical results show that the model reproduces the experiments very well and can be used for the studies as a more convenient and complementary tool.

    A numerical and three-dimensional analysis of steady state rectangular natural circulation loop
    2012 - ANGELO, G.; ANDRADE, D.A.; ANGELO, E.; TORRES, W.M.; SABUNDJIAN, G.; MACEDO, L.A.; SILVA, A.F.
    Free convection circuits or natural circulation systems are employed in several engineering fields. In nuclear reactors, natural circulation can be used as a passive safety system or as a main heat transfer mechanism. This work presents the results of a three-dimensional numerical analysis of a steady state rectangular natural circulation loop located at the Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares/Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (IPEN/CNEN-SP). Numerical results and experimental data present in this paper are discussed and compared. The model is good enough to capture 3-D effects, such as the formation of vortex structures and swirl effects.
