Abstract:
The Numerical investigation is performed on the air turbulent flow in triangular rod bundle array.Based on the experimental data,the eddy viscosity turbulent model and the Reynold stress turbulent model are evaluated to simulate the flow behavior in the tight lattice.The results show that SSG Reynolds Stress Model has shown superior predictive performance than other Reynolds-stress models,which indicates that the simulation of the anisotropy of the turbulence is significant in the tight lattice.The result with different Reynolds number and geometry shows that the magnitude of the secondary flow is almost independent of the Reynolds number,but it increases with the decrease of the P/D.

Abstract:
The recent studies on the MOX fuel cell calculation indicated that the angular flux is a bumpy and irregular function,which is difficult to be represented by using traditional methods.The Daubechies wavelets,possessing the properties of orthonormality and compact support,are applied in the angular discretization of the neutron transport equation to solve this problem.In order to improve the computational stabilization,a coupled S_N and wavelet expansion scheme is applied instead of the common two-dimensional wavelet expansion.Numerical results demonstrated that this method is accurate and applicable for both traditional and challenging problems.

Abstract:
Wavelets expansion method can simulate the functions oscillating violently.It has been applied to simulate the violently variety of the angular flux,and has obtained satisfactory results.Neutron spectrum has violent oscillations within the resonant energy range.This paper introduces a method to discretize the energy variable of neutron transport equation by coupling the multi-group method and wavelets expansion method,which simulates the energy-dependent angular flux with wavelets scaling function within the resonant energy range and uses multi-group method within fast and thermal neutron energy ranges.The preliminary calculation results indicate that this method can obtain the accurate k-inf,as well as determine the fine-structure energy distribution of the angular flux,which is significant to resonance self-shielding calculation.
