Finally, the challenges and problems in both the fundamental research, using laboratory wires and numerical simulations, and the applied research, using commercial cables and empirical function approaches, are thoroughly discussed to guide future wire fire research and the design of fire-safe wire and cables.
A three-dimensional (3-D) transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code FDS is adopted in this paper to simulate these characteristics related to cable burning.
In order to assess the CFD fire models used in this code, a burning test using the control cable with the outer jacket of polyvinylchloride (PVC) and the inner insulation of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is conducted.
The present simulation works can provide useful information for the plant staff or the researcher as they would perform the fire hazard analysis in the NPPs using the FDS code.

The final decision and the selection of the design method for the blade can be made considering different analysis: the criterion of impeller weight, the structural analysis of the impeller, the CFD analysis of the fluid flow through the impeller, etc.
The computer simulations have been performed using a SUPERMICRO workstation with 2xIntel XEON CPU E5-2660v2 with 2x10 core, 2.2 GHz, 128 GB DDR3 RAM, 2x2 TB HDD and video card NVIDIA Quadro K5000.
All simulations with unrefined mesh were performed under 1 minute, while, for the refined mesh, the computing time lasted between 5 and 10 minutes.

Considering steady-state conditions, fluid flow velocity in the axial direction very larger than the fluid velocity in the transverse direction through of porous medium and very smaller than the sonic velocity (viscous dissipation and substantive derivative of pressure terms negligible) [9,10], and without heat generation, Eq. 1 can be written in elliptical cylindrical coordinates in a three-dimensional form, as follows: (2) According to Fig. 1, the boundary conditions used in the simulation are given by: (3) at the surface (4) (5) where is the focal distance.
Several simulations considering the constant porosity (ε = 0.2, ε = 0.4, ε = 0.6 and ε = 0.8), variable porosity in cross-section of fixed bed reactor (Eq. 7) and constant mean porosity in the bed calculated by integrating Eq. 7 over the volume of the reactor, were done.

planar line type causing negative pressure on the edge of the inner diameter, therefore, the distribution of the cavitation corrosion on the thrust bearing which applies this type of planar line is more extensive than that of others; the relative area of the pressure peak on the spiral groove thrust bearing formed by the arc line is the biggest (the absolute value of the peak is relatively lower), followed by the spiral groove thrust bearings formed by the spiral line and parabola line .In the junction between the slot and the dam along the circumferential direction, the variation of water film pressure gradient of the spiral groove formed by the spiral line is small, which feature will help enhance the stability of thrust bearing. 3.3 Results and Compares of Loading Capacity Fig. 2 Comparison of the loading capacity of Fig.3 Comparison of the loading capacity of spiral groove bearings with rotate speed change spiral groove bearings from experiment and numerical simulation
