TWIST: a transient two-dimensional intra-subassembly thermal hydraulics model for LMFBRs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7062228
;
Mathematical models and numerical methods for a two-dimensional porous body simulation of steady state and transient thermal-hydraulics conditions in LMFBR subassemblies resulting in the TWIST computer code are presented. Comparison of calculated results to steady state and transient out-of-pile sodium experiments show good agreement for cross-assembly temperature distributions for a wide range of heat transfer and flow conditions.
