Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Codes

abstract

The primary focus of the Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Group (HTFFG) at Oak Ridge
National Lab is problem solving related to heat transfer
and fluid flow, which typically requires utilization of state-of-the-art
engineering analysis software or development of custom software.
HTFFG has developed and maintains a general-purpose conduction heat transfer
code (HEATING) and is developing a general-purpose computational fluid dynamics
code (PHI3D). HTFFG has developed numerous special-purpose codes, including
NORVEX (NASA Oak Ridge Void Experiment), centrifuge modeling codes,
BEPLATE (electroplating simulation), a grain recrystallization simulator, and
inverse heat transfer code, Quench Simulator (heat transfer/metallurigical phase
change during quenching), and REHAP (refrigerant modeling for gaseous diffusion
cell). The group is familiar with numerous public-domain codes, including TOPAZ
(heat transfer), TEMPEST (fluids), SOLA-VOF (fluids), KIVA (combustion),
RELAP5 (thermal/hydraulic), NIKE (stress), and DYNA (stress) and numerous
commercial packages, including FLOW-3D (fluids), CFDS-FLOW3D (fluids),
FLUENT (fluids), PATRAN (grid generation), P-THERMAL (thermal), ABAQUS
(thermal/stress), PROCAST (casting/thermal), and EMAS (electro/magnetostatics).
