3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling A#

  • Plane modeling “AXIS_THMS”. Mechanical law “ELAS”. Coupling “LIQU_SATU”.

  • \(20\times 20\) \(\mathrm{Q4}\) elements of equal width.

  • Constant thermal expansion of water

3.2. Results of modeling A#

Discretization in time: 10 \(180s\) time steps each. Since the solution calculated by Aster takes into account the movements of the fluid and the heat (diffusive phenomena), it is normal not to obtain exactly the reference solution. The differences remain very small.

Result at the final instant \(3600s\) :
