Abstract: An investigation of flow acceleration from initial statistically steady turbulent flow to final statistically steady turbulent flow is conducted experimentally using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and constant temperature ...

Abstract: It is now well known that heat transfer to fluid at supercritical pressure in a confined channel shows complex behaviors. This is due to the strong variations of the thermal–physical properties resulting from the changes ...

Abstract: This work is part of a benchmarking exercise organized by an IAEA in supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) thermal-hydraulics aimed at improving the understanding and prediction accuracy of the thermal-hydraulic phenomena ...
