Development of a two-way weak coupling code for fluid-structure interaction analysis of the beam window in accelerator-driven systems

JAEA has developed design tools to assess the thermal-hydraulic behavior and structural stresses on the beam windows (BW) of an accelerator-driven system (ADS). These tools require experimental validation to ensure the accuracy for design optimization. However, due to the difficulty of performing experiments, validation by numerical simulation has become important in recent years. Therefore, a coupling platform was developed between the detailed thermal-hydraulic analysis code JUPITER and the structure analysis code FrontISTR. In previous work, the one-way coupling scheme was implemented. However, the one-way method is still insufficient in calculating the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) phenomena in ADS beam window. This presentation provides an overview of the JUPITER-FrontISTR two-way weak coupling platform for FSI analysis.
