Thermal-hydraulics validation of CFD code for light water nuclear reactors against benchmark experimental results
The cooling of a nuclear reactor depends on a suitable fluid flow pattern among its fuel elements aiming the removal of heat produced in the fuel. In case of light water reactors, an excess of heat drives the fluid to change its phase from liquid to vapor, significantly reducing its capacity to rem...
