Non-linear analysis of fluid-structure coupled transients in piping systems using finite elements - application to the mechanical effects of the sodium-water reaction in the secondary loop of a pool-type LMFBR
Description
This paper describes a finite element method based on a symmetric formulation which is aimed at computing the transient response of piping systems conveying compressible fluids. The method is able to treat both structural and fluid non-linearities. An application is presented concerning the water-sodium reaction effects in a LMFBR (liquid metal cooled fast breeder reactor) secondary loop. 6 refs
