Coupling of fluid dynamic and structural analysis of rectangular geometry using ANSYS

الملخص EN

Studying structural analysis of nuclear fuel plates in research reactors is very important in design and safe operation conditions.

Finite element packages are recently used to solve multi-physics problems.

In this paper, fluid dynamic analysis is carried out in a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problem.

Pressure distribution is obtained around the plate.

The analysis is carried out for different velocities.

The resulted pressure is then used as an input in structural analysis study.

The deformation of the plate for different inlet velocities is obtained and compared to the calculated analogous work as well as the experimental results
