The stability boundary for supercritical flow in natural convection loops

  • 1. Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, R3T 5V6 (Canada)

Description

Non-dimensional parameters governing supercritical flow instability boundary, derived in an earlier study, are now examined through a numerical experiment comprising 94 simulated cases. Part I of this study reports on the stability of supercritical light water in a natural-convection loop and confirms the validity of these non-dimensional parameters for stability predictions. Part II reports on supercritical CO2 and H2
