Integration of the femlcore code in the SALOME platform

In this report we describe the integration of the FEMLCORE code in the SALOME platform. The SALOME platform is an open source tool that has a CAD, a mesh generator and a visualization software integrated for model development. This integration represents a main step in the direction of coupling FEMLCORE with a nuclear system code like CATHARE, in order to drive three-dimensional simulation with boundary conditions obtained with the system code. The CATHARE/SALOME interface is developed by CEA and EDF and it can be used only under private agreement. We substitute CATHARE with a mono dimensional code based on the SALOME integrated libMesh library which is open-source software. CEA and EDF originally developed the libMesh-SALOME interface for Laplacian and Linear Elastic two-dimensional solutions. Here we present 3D-CFD/3D-CFD coupling for energy and Navier Stokes with libMesh and FEMus libraries. Simulations with FEMLCORE (3D-porous) and the FEMUS interface are presented where the interface is used to transfer data for heat generation and pressure loss analytical distributions. Finally a 3D-porous/1D-porous coupling FEMLCORE/libMesh is presented.
