Recruitment for a mid-career JAEA Staff
-Center for Computational Science and e-Systems-

1. 1. Number of employees

      Researcher 1 person

   2. Research field

      (1)Research field:
      Computational Science Research for Computational Nuclear Engineering

      (2)Research theme
      Multiphase CFD Simulations on GPU Supercomputers

      (Summary)
      Center for Computational Science and e-Systems promotes the development of nuclear CFD simulations towards digital transformation of research and development in nuclear engineering such as the safety evaluation of nuclear reactors and the design of future nuclear systems. Multiphase flow problems such as gas-liquid two phase flows and free surface flows are multi-scale problems involving fine gas-liquid interfaces and bubbles/droplets, and require high performance computing on GPU supercomputers, CFD schemes suitable for GPUs such as the lattice Boltzmann method, multi-scale CFD simulations based on adaptive mesh refinement, and high-fidelity simulation models for interface tracking, surface tension, and phase changes. In this theme, the applicant is expected to construct multiphase CFD codes on the GPU supercomputer SGI8600 at JAEA, and develop the above simulation technologies. The applicant is also expected to address thermal hydraulics in nuclear reactors using the developed codes.
