Abstract

Objectives:

  • To simulate a 2-D model of the Materials Test Loop by approximating it to be a toroid with a pie cross section for the purpose of comparing the simulated results with the analytical results.
  • The temperature and concentration profiles on the wall boundaries imposed are similar to the actual test model.
  • Geometry effects have great influence on local corrosion rate.
  • A 2-D benchmark problem and a sudden expansion case are studied which show good consistency to analytical solution.
  • Results from 2-D sudden expansion problem are similar to experimental data obtained by other researchers.
