Automated Approach to Quantitative Error Analysis in Neutron Transport Calculations

Description: A method is described how a quantitative measure for the robustness of a given transport theory code for coarse network calculations can be obtained. A code, that performs this task automatically and at only nominal cost, is described and has been implemented for slab geometry. This code generates also user oriented benchmark problems which exhibit the analytic behavior at interfaces.

Examination of the SCEPTRE and CSMP Programs for Solving the Point-Kinetics Equations with Feedback

Description: Two modeling programs, SCEPTRE and CSMP, are used to solve the point-kinetics equations - - seven coupled nonlinear differential equations - - with a linear-feedback function. The constants used are appropriate for EBR-II; therefore the computational accuracy may be tested against the experimental rod drops. Run-time, versatility, programming ease, and accuracy are criteria used to evaluate the two programs. SCEPTRE is found to be more efficient in run time and CSMP more versatile. The ease of … more

Mixing, Chemical Reaction and Flow Field Development in Ducted Rockets

Description: Calculations have been made of the three-dimensional mixing, chemical reaction, and flow field development in a typical ducted rocket configuration. The governing partial differential equations are numerically solved by an iterative finite-difference solution procedure. The physical models include the k approx. epsilon turbulence model, one-step reaction, and mixing controlled chemical reaction rate. Radiation is neglected. The mean flow structure, fuel dispersal patterns, and temperature field… more

Accuracy of the Finite Analytic Method for Scalar Transport Calculations

Description: The accuracy of the finite analytic method of discretizing fluid flow equations is assessed through calculations of multidimensional scalar transport. The transport of a scalar function in a uniform velocity flow field inclined with the finite-difference grid lines is calculated for a range of grid Peclet numbers and flow skewness. The finite analytic method is observed to be superior to the approach of constructing finite-difference analogs from locally one-dimensional resolution of the flow v… more

Flow-Induced Vibration of the SSME LOX Posts

Description: Cracking of liquid-oxygen (LOX) posts was observed in several evaluation tests. The design modification consists of attaching impingement shields to LOX posts in the upstream row. This has improved the vibration/fatigue problem of LOX posts. However, that modification results in an increased pressure drop that ultimately affects the lifetime of other components. This report presents a preliminary assessment of the LOX post vibration problem including a review of relevant parameters, flow induce… more

Extraction and Recovery of Plutonium and Americium from Nitric Acid Waste Solutions by the TRUEX Process : Continuing Development Studies

Description: This report summarizes the work done to date on the application of the TRUEX solvent extraction process for removing and separately recovering plutonium and americium from a nitric acid waste solution containing these elements, uranium, and a complement of inert metal ions. This simulated waste stream is typical of a raffinate from a tributyl phosphate (TBP)-based solvent extraction process for removing uranium and plutonium from dissolved plutonium-containing metallurgical scrap. The TRUEX pro… more

General Theory for Dynamic Instability of the SSME LOX Posts

Description: A general theory of fluid-elastic instability for a tube array in crossflow is presented for application to the space shuttle main engine liquid oxygen (SSME LOX) posts. Various techniques to obtain the motion-dependent fluid-force coefficients are discussed and the general instability characteristics are summarized. The theory is also used to evaluate the results of other mathematical models for crossflow-induced instability.

Fluid Excitation Forces Acting on a Tube Array

Description: Fluid forces are important in the assessment of vibration of the Space Shuttle Main Engine liquid oxygen posts. This report summarizes the available data on fluid excitation forces acting on tube arrays in turbulent crossflow, and test results for an array of tubes subject to turbulent flow. The fluctuating drag and lift forces are measured as a function of Reynolds number, incoming flow conditions, and tube location in an array.

Notes on the Effect of Surface Distortions on the Drag and Critical Mach Number of Airfoils

Description: "The effect of two-dimensional bumps and surface waviness on the pressure distribution over airfoils is considered.
