A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed to investigate the coolant mixing in a nuclear fuel bundle that is promoted by the mixing vane on the grid spacer. Single and multiple subchannels of one grid span of the fuel bundle were modeled to simulate a 5×5 rod array experiment with the mixing vane. The three-dimensional CFD models were generated by a structured multi-block method. The standard k-ε turbulence model was used in the current CFD simulation since it is practically useful and converges well for the complex turbulent flow in a nuclear fuel bundle. The CFD predictions of axial and lateral mean flow velocities showed a somewhat large difference from the experimental results near the spacer but represented the overall characteristics of coolant mixing well in a nuclear fuel bundle with the mixing vane. Comparison of single and multiple subchannel predictions shows good agreement of the flow characteristics in the central subchannel of the rod array. The simulation of multiple subchannels shows a slightly off-centered swirl in the peripheral subchannels due to the external wall of the rod array. It also shows no significant swirl and crossflow in the wall subchannels and the corner subchannels.

The flowing characteristics of turbulent flow in rectangular channels in rolling and heaving motions are investigated theoretically with FLUENT code. The flowing model of turbulent flow in rectangular channels in rolling and heaving motion is established. The effects of several turbulent models and parameters on the flow are analyzed. In rolling motion, the velocity profile in channel center is more averaged. The mixing coefficient can be strengthened significantly in rolling motion. The effect of heaving motion on turbulent flow is more limited than that of rolling motion. The turbulent kinetic energy and fluctuating velocity in rolling motion are greater than that in heaving motion and steady state. The effect of rolling motion on the turbulent flow can be depressed by the tube wall.

A wind turbine is a machine which converts the power in the wind into electricity. It operates under varying wind speeds depending on the environmental wind conditions. In this paper, we have presented the operational flow analysis of a proposed wind turbine model in Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Kaduna. The case study is for 5.6m/s, 7.5m/s and 9.5m/s wind speed. The model design and assembly of the components were done with the help of SolidWorks 2018 and the operational flow analysis done with ANSYS 15.0. The result showed that the flow nature of the turbine model grew from laminar flow to turbulent flow increasingly with the environmental wind speed. The flow nature remained laminar from 0.0356 to 1780 Reynolds at 5.6m/s. At 7.5m/s wind speed, from laminar 0.403 Reynolds to turbulent 4290 Reynolds and at 9.5m/s, from laminar 0.381 Reynolds to turbulent 4900 Reynolds. High turbulent flow and mass imbalance nature depicts that phenomenon like wake and vibration of the system occurred.
