The SquAd derivation: A Square Additive approach to the turbulent Prandtl number [version 3; peer review: 1 approved, 3 approved with reservations, 1 not approved]

Liquid metals have been chosen as primary coolant of innovative nuclear systems under current development. They present a very high thermal conductivity and hence a very low molecular Prandtl number. This feature challenges the modeling of turbulent thermal flows applying the Reynolds analogy. This...
