Large eddy simulation of a buoyancy-aided flow in a non-uniform channel – Buoyancy effects on large flow structures
Abstract It has been a long time since the ‘abnormal’ turbulent intensity distribution and high inter-sub-channel mixing rates were observed in the vicinity of the narrow gaps formed by the fuel rods in nuclear reactors. The extraordinary flow...
