Artigo IPEN-doc 26394 A CFD analysis of blockage length on a partially blocked fuel rod2019 - SCURO, N.L.; UMBEHAUN, P.E.; ANGELO, E.; ANGELO, G.; ANDRADE, D.A.After a loss of coolant accident (LOCA), fuel rods may balloon. The swelling can partially block the flow channel, affecting the coolability during reflood phase. In order to analyze the influence of blockage length, using a radial block-age of 90%, varying just the blockage length, many steady state numerical simulations has been done using Ansys-CFX code to verify thermal-hydraulic properties according to different forced cooled conditions. Temperature peaks are observed on cladding, followed by a temperature drop. A 5x5 fuel assembly, with 9 centered ballooned fuel rod, flow redistribution inside channels can also be captured, indicating an overheating zone. Therefore, this study conclude, for the same boundary conditions, the longer the blockage length originated after LOCA events, the higher are the clad temperatures, indicating the possibility of overheat during transient conditions on reflood.Artigo IPEN-doc 24790 A CFD analysis of the flow dynamics of a directly-operated safety relief valve2018 - SCURO, N.L.; ANGELO, E.; ANGELO, G.; ANDRADE, D.A.A three-dimensional numerical study on steady state was designed for a safety relief valve using several openings and inlet pressures. The ANSYS-CFX (R) commercial code was used as a CFD tool to obtain several properties using dry saturated steam revised by IAPWS-IF97. Mass flow and discharge coefficient calculated from simulations are compared to the ASME 2011a Section 1 standard. The model presented constant behavior for opening lifts smaller than 12mm and is very reasonable when compared to the standard (ASME). In addition, the conventional procedure to design normal disc force assumes that all the fluid mechanical energy was converted into work; however, the CFD simulations showed that average normal disc force is about 19% lower than theoretical ASME force, which could prevent the valve oversizing. A numerical validation was conducted for a transonic air flow through a converging-diverging diffuser geometry to verify the solver's ability to capture the position and intensity of a shockwave: the results showed good agreement with the benchmark experiments.Artigo IPEN-doc 21290 Numerical study of the influence of elements inside the wheelhouse on the passenger vehicle aerodynamic2015 - ANGELO, EDVALDO; ANGELO, GABRIEL; SANTOS, PEDRO H. di G.; ANDRADE, DELVONEI A. de
