Visualization of thermal-hydraulic analysis by computer-graphics

Abstract

The requirement to visualize computer simulation results has been rising up recently. Computer graphics technique is the new method that can give an answer of that requirement. Following two systems are to visualize thermal-hydraulic analyses by computer graphic animation. The NPVS (Nuclear Plant Visual Simulation system) is for the single-dimentional thermal-hydraulic analyses, and the VISTA (Visualization System for Thermal-hydraulic Analysis) is for two-dimentional ones. These express heat-transfer phenomena by changing pseud-color of time-dependent temperature at everywhere on the analysis model.
