Abstract: Available computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predictions of pressure distributions in the vertical bypass flow between blocks in a prismatic gas-cooled reactor (GCR) have been analyzed to deduce apparent friction factors ...

Abstract: An artificial turbulent spot is simulated in a zero freestream turbulence base flow and a base flow with organized streaks. Six identification methods are used in order to isolate the turbulent spot from the surrounding ...

Abstract: High pressure/high temperature forced and mixed convection experiments have been performed with helium and nitrogen at temperatures and pressures up to 893 K and 64 bar, respectively. The test section had a 16.8 mm ID flow ...
