Optimizing coupled fluid-structure simulations for nuclear-relevant geometries

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The first part of the paper describes the model and its implementation: it allows to perform 2-way explicit fluid-structure coupling using the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian approach to account for the structure deformations. The aim of this study is to propose a high fidelity simulation of vortex and turbulent induced vibration of cylinders with optimized computational time. The aim of this work is to establish a methodology that can be later used to consistently simulate more representative configurations, such as portions of tube bundles or spans of fuel assemblies. For the purposes of the present . . .
