Summary  Fuel Pins in Current AGR reactors  Code_Saturne  A proposal for next generation IV reactors: Sodium Fast Reactor (SFR) fuel assembly  Conclusions

Fuel Elements in AGRs

Various Configurations 1)Multi-start 2)Transverse 3) Hoop 4) Smooth

2-dimensional approach

Test Cases Square Rib Profile (SRP) Transverse Rib Profile (TRP) Multi-Start Rib Profile (MSRP) Turbulence models: 1) Chen & Kim LRN k-ε model 2) Wilcox LRN k-ω model 3) Lien & Durbin v 2 f model

STAR-CD Results: contours Streamwise velcity contour: LRN Chen & Kim k-ε model Relative Pressure contour: LRN Wilcox k-ω model

STAR-CD Results: Lien & Durbin v 2 f model

y/k=1 y/k=0.1 STAR-CD Results: Lien & Durbin v 2 f model

Code_Saturne Code developed by EdF and now open source downloadable from:  Unstructured  Co-located, Finite Volume Formulation  Different turbulent models (both RANS and LES)  Incompressible or expandable flows with or without heat transfer  Different modules: radiative heat transfer, combustion, magneto- hydrodynamics, compressible flows, two-phase flows  Possible coupling with Code_Aster for structural analysis and with Syrthes for thermal analysis.  Parallel code coupling capabilities (awarded the Gold medal on HPCx) ‏  TWiki collaborative website with forum and developments:

SFR test case

SFR test case: comparison k-  and R ij R ij (SSG) k- 

Conclusions  SFR fuel assembly  Preliminary RANS calculations shows a completely different flow field respect to rod bundle in smooth configuration (no wire).  k-  and Rij SSG models give very similar results from a qualitatively point of view, but very different quantitatively  Possible LES or Hybrid RANS/LES calculations  AGR  Three different rib profiles have been tested and they all showed similar profiles for velocity, temperature and pressure.  Lien & Durbin v 2 f model was proved to be the best model for this test case.
