Effect of pressure on turbulence and heat transfer under compressed and supercritical coolant flow conditions
The heat removal characteristics of water under supercritical and compressed fluid conditions are of direct relevance to the thermal-hydraulic optimization of nuclear reactor rod bundles. In this study, numerical simulations of upward water flow through a heated 2×2 rod bundle were performed using STAR-CCM+ at pressu...
