NUMERICAL MODELING OF POWER STATION STEAM CONDENSERS .2. IMPROVEMENT OF SOLUTION BEHAVIOR

摘要

The numerical simulation of condenser flows could provide a more powerful tool for improving design if the numerical problems causing poor solution behavior could be isolated and removed. This article isolates four algorithms used in a ''standard'' model that cause poor solution behavior, and qualitatively establishes the importance of each. With the new algorithms, steady-state solutions can be obtained in few time steps. Attention still needs to be directed at optimizing the implementation of the algorithmic improvements.
