This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction for Nuclear Reactor Applications presents the latest knowledge on the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Structural Dynamic (CSM) tools to solve Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems in a nuclear setting. Editor Dr Afaque Shams and his team of expert contributors from around the globe provide a detailed background on the topic as well as a comprehensive picture of recent developments of computational FSI in a variety of nuclear reactors. Mechanical damages which threaten the integrity and safety of nuclear plants need to be mitigated at the design stage, and this book provides a clear understanding of FSI issues such as vibration, noise, wear and fatigue which will work to reduce accident vulnerabilities in the long run. Numerical algorithms, modelling and applications, validation and verification approaches are included to equip nuclear professionals, plant designers and analysists, and researchers with a solid understanding of the state-of-the-art approaches for FSI and its advanced applications and modern approaches. Includes numerical methods, modelling, validation and verification of all approaches presented Provides best practice guidelines to perform FSI simulations for various nuclear reactor applications Reviews the present status of tools to perform FSI computations and provides future perspectives for further research opportunities
