GeN-Foam: a novel OpenFOAM® based multi-physics solver for 2D/3D transient analysis of nuclear reactors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an attempt to supplement the FAST code system with a novel solver characterized by tight coupling between the different equations, parallel computing capabilities, adaptive time-stepping and more accurate treatment of some of the phenomena involved in a reactor transient.

Roles of drag reducing polymers in single- and multi-phase flows
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the use of polymers as drag reducing agents in turbulent single and multiphase flows is presented. But, despite the voluminous works on drag reducing polymers, there are no universally accepted models and hence the mechanisms of drag reduction by polymers.

A critical evaluation of two-equation models for near wall turbulence
Journal ArticleDOI
Zonal k–l based large eddy simulations
Paul G. Tucker,Lars Davidson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a zonal k-l-based large eddy simulation (LES) approach is presented, where the interface location for the differing models is either explicitly specified, or, based on length scale compatibility, allowed to naturally locate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulent flow over and within a porous bed
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the Darcy number Da on the flow properties over and within the porous region is studied. But the authors focus on the effects of the porous medium on the free flow.

The prediction of laminarization with a two-equation model of turbulence
W.P. Jones,Brian Launder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the local turbulent viscosity is determined from the solution of transport equations for the turbulence kinetic energy and the energy dissipation rate, and the predicted hydrodynamic and heat-transfer development of the boundary layers is in close agreement with the measured behaviour.

The calculation of low-Reynolds-number phenomena with a two-equation model of turbulence
W.P. Jones,Brian Launder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present numerical predictions of various turbulent shear flows in which the structure of the viscous sublayer exerts appreciable influence on the flow, where the turbulence energy and its dissipation rate are calculated by way of transport equations which are solved simultaneously with the conservation equations for the mean flow.

Heat and mass transfer from rotating cones
C. L. Tien,D. T. Campbell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, heat transfer by convection from isothermal rotating cones is investigated experimentally by measuring the sublimation rate from naphthalene-coated cones and using the analogy between heat and mass transfer.
