accidental closure of feed water pipes,<br />

and theoretical incident simulations. “All<br />

of these investigations and their effects,<br />

in particular performance in the event of<br />

a failure, would be ex perimentally too<br />

expensive, too time-consum ing, or even<br />

impossible. We were able to support<br />

the power plant operator here in an<br />

efficient and cost-optimized manner,”<br />

says Dr Benjamin Fabian.<br />

CFD: clear insight into flow<br />

phenomena<br />

CFD (= computational fluid dynamics) is a<br />

method for using computers to calculate<br />

flows. this simulates the real geometry in<br />

which fluids flow as a 3-D object on the<br />

computer.<br />

the complex whole is then subdivided<br />

into the many smaller elements that are<br />

required for the calculation. Material<br />

properties and boundary conditions are<br />

determined, and then the calculation<br />

starts: the flow is then developed step<br />

by step throughout the entire geometry,<br />

with the progress of the flow being considered<br />

on a cell-by-cell basis. this allows<br />

even the most complex flow phenomena<br />

to be visualized.<br />

Due to the frequent interaction of flow<br />

and heat phenomena, all of the programs<br />

used by nIs include the entire reaction<br />

process between flow and heat.<br />
