In designing the shield plug of LMFBR, it is important to evaluate the thermal response between the cover gas thermal-hydraulics and the temperature fields of the shield plug at the same time. Based on the experiments which were performed by OEC, the natural convection and the thermal radiation in the cover gas layer were calculated with the structure simulating the shield plug in a detail two-dimensional model. The calculations were carried out for 8 kinds of experimental RUNs using a FLUSH code. The main results were as follows: (1)For these 8 kinds of experimental RUNs, the velocity and the temperature distributions in the cover gas layer were presented. The radial and axial temperature distributions in the rotating plug were also presented, which were difficult to measure by the experiments. (2)The boundary surface temperature between the cover gas layer and the rotating plug had the same tendencies and the calculated average temperatures on the boundary surface had good agreements with the experimental data. The average relative deviations from experimental values were less than 1.3%. (3)The natural convection of the cover gas enhanced the temperature distributions in the structure. The effects of thermal radiation on the heat transfer was relatively small and it can be neglected when the temperature of the heated aluminum disk is less than 400C.

Since urban atmospheric environment is strongly controlled by multi-scale flow dynamics, simulation of the urban atmospheric boundary layer requires fine grid spacing and huge computational domain. We accomplished to simulate an urban atmospheric boundary layer using a Large Eddy Simulation model running on TSUBAME super computing system. Flow characteristics within and above a building canopy were successfully examined.
