Study on pressure drop prediction of BWR fuel assembly using CFD analysis

This paper presents the pressure drop prediction of BWR fuel assembly without experiment. To evaluate the core performance, pressure drop of fuel assembly is one of the key design parameters. The shape of fuel assembly is complicated and the spacer has a strong effect on pressure drop. Therefore, to...
