Abstract: A numerical study of the evaluation of turbulence models for predicting the thermal stratification phenomenon is presented. The tested models are the elliptic blending turbulence model (EBM), the ...

Abstract: A computational study for an evaluation of the current turbulence models for the prediction of a thermal striping in a triple jet is performed. The tested turbulence models are the two-layer ...

Abstract: A numerical study for the evaluation of heat transfer correlations for sodium flows in a heat exchanger of a fast breeder nuclear reactor is performed. Three different types of flows such as ...

Abstract: This paper presents an effective numerical method for predicting the stratified flow in a horizontal circular pipe. The method employs a body-fitted, nonorthogonal grid system to accommodate the ...

Abstract: This paper addresses three-dimensional numerical analyses of the unsteady conjugate heat transfer and thermal stress for a PWR pressurizer surge line pipe with a finite wall thickness, subjected ...

Abstract: An experimental study has been carried out to measure the pressure loss at the side orifice of a liquid metal reactor fuel assembly. The characteristics of the pressure loss at the side ...

Abstract: An experimental study has been carried out to measure the pressure drop in a 271-pin fuel assembly of a liquid metal reactor. The rod pitch to rod diameter ratio (P/D) of the fuel assembly ...
