Application of the Volume of Fluid Method to Simulate the Process of Melting and Movement of Fuel

Abstract

The article considers the possibility of using the method of multiphase fluid Volume of Fluid (VOF), the Ansys Fluent program, for numerical simulation of the melting process of the materials of the experimental device and their movement over the volume of the computational domain. For modeling the design of a typical experimental device tested in the reactor was selected, a two-dimensional computational model was developed, methods for solving the thermal problem were described, and the simulation results were presented.
