Turbulent Flow in LMFBR Rod Bundle

Software ·
OSTI ID:1230229
VELVET2 solves the coupled, heat-transfer equations in the fuel, gap, cladding, and coolant for a triangular-spaced, close-packed, fuel rod bundle with liquid metal coolant. The model includes temperature-dependent material properties, turbulent velocity distribution in the coolant, and contributions to coolant heat transfer by turbulent mixing.
