Computational Fluid Dynamic Studies of Vortex Amplifier Design for the Nuclear Industry—II. Transient Conditions
Predictions in this paper show that instantaneous flow can be reversed in individual radial supply ports of a vortex amplifier, whilst aggregate flow through the device remains positive; and that the flow pattern generated in those ports is periodic. This was previously unknown. The work was reported to Sellafield Limited engineers (and sub-contractors) and the paper was requested by National Nuclear Laboratory staff and Total engineers. Work described in this paper and in Output 1 was substantially funded by Sellafield Ltd, alongside other in-kind contributions.
