Free OpenFoam VKI Seminar - The Espresso Test Case: Simulating Reactor Thermal-Hydraulics in Openfoam
We are happy to invite you to the third seminar about OpenFOAM organized by von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics.
The event aims to bring together OpenFOAM users as well as those interested in potential applications of the code, both for academic and industrial purposes. The seminar will be organized in the following way:
15.00 |
Welcome |
15.05 |
Presentation of the development of the modeling of pool type reactors at VKI: MYRRHABELLE, E-SCAPE and MYRRHA. |
15.35
|
Session on “The Espresso Test Case: Simulating Reactor Thermal-Hydraulics in Openfoam” by Maria Faruoli Numerical simulations of the thermal-hydraulic behavior of the cooling system of nuclear reactors are often used to support the design process. This tutorial will lead the participants to perform a complete numerical simulation of a stylized pool-type nuclear reactor (named ESPRESSO) starting from choosing the solver, meshing the geometry, setting up the numerical parameters and the boundary conditions till post-processing. The tutorial will show different approaches to the modelling of the pumps, the heat exchangers and the core. |
16.45 |
Survey on interests in research with OpenFOAM |
All the material to follow the tutorial will be provided to the participants during the event, and an online platform will be created to share material and create discussions.
The event is organized four times a year and we would like to invite you to share your applications and implementations.
Please check our eligibility criteria before registering.
