Abstract

Developing accurate yet computationally affordable models to study jet interaction is important for a variety of engineering applications. In order to meet the demand for developing advanced reactors, it is crucial now more than ever, that accurate yet computationally affordable modeling options are available. A good compromise in this sense is offered by Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) and hybrid RANS-LES (Large Eddy Simulation). The focus of this study is the verification and validation of the higher fidelity models that will be used to benchmark the aforementioned affordable models. LES results were validated against experimental data from the Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) facility at the University of Michigan. The LES model was also verified using the following criteria: optimal boundary conditions, proven mesh convergence, and consistent resolution. After model validation, flow structures in the jet interaction were discerned by means of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD).
