Large-eddy simulations of turbulent flow for grid-to-rod fretting in nuclear reactors
The grid-to-rod fretting (GTRF) problem in pressurized water reactors is a flow-induced vibration problem that results in wear and failure of the fuel rods in nuclear assemblies.

Assessment of RANS turbulence models and Zwart cavitation model empirical coefficients for the simulation of unsteady cloud cavitation [PDF]
The numerical simulation of unsteady cavitation flows is sensitive to the selected models and associated parameters. Consequently, three Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models and the Zwart cavitation model were selected to assess their ...

Adaptive Embedded LES of the NASA Hump [PDF]
A scheme for adaptive embedded LES is proposed which automatically determines boundaries for LES regions in a hybrid LES-RANS computation, with the goal of minimizing the LES part of the computation for maximum accuracy with minimum cost.

Sub-grid modelling for two-dimensional turbulence using neural networks [PDF]
In this investigation, a data-driven turbulence closure framework is introduced and deployed for the sub-grid modelling of Kraichnan turbulence. The novelty of the proposed method lies in the fact that snapshots from high-fidelity numerical data are used

Hybrid RANS/LES of plane jets impinging on a flat plate at small nozzle-plate distances [PDF]
A k-omega BASED HYBRID RANS/LES (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes/large eddy simulation) model is tested for simulation of plane impinging jets at various nozzle-plate distances (H/B), where H is the distance and B is the slot's width) and various ...
