Abstract

In this Paper, heat slug propagation in the QUench Experiment on Long Length (QUELL) is studied with the 2-fluid MITHRANDIR model, which allows a finite coupling time between bundle and hole helium in a two-channel cable-in-conduit conductor. The same eight inductively heated and four resistively heated runs are considered in Part I. Good to very good agreement is shown between computed and experimental evolution of the conduit temperature T-jk at downstream sensors, as opposed to the poor accuracy of the 1-fluid simulations shown in Part I. The inlet mass flow is typically slightly overestimated, as with the 1-fluid model, resulting in a phase shift between computed and experimental T-jk. Some parametric effects are also analyzed.

Flow measurement

Flow measurement is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. Flow can be measured using devices called flowmeters in various ways. The common types of flowmeters with industrial applications are listed below: Obstruction type (differential pressure or variable area) Inferential (turbine type) Electromagnetic Positive-displacement flowmeters, which accumulate a fixed volume of fluid and then count the number of times the volume is filled to measure flow. Fluid dynamic (vortex shedding) Anemometer Ultrasonic flow meter Mass flow meter (Coriolis force).

Fluid dynamics

In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids—liquids and gases. It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of liquids in motion). Fluid dynamics has a wide range of applications, including calculating forces and moments on aircraft, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space and modelling fission weapon detonation.

Fluid mechanics

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering, as well as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology. It can be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest; and fluid dynamics, the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion.
