Structure improvement and numerical simulation for TBM sub-module coolant flow distribution

  • 1. Southwestern Inst. of Physics, Chengdu (China)

Description

Three-dimensional flow distribution in the CH HCSB TBM was numerical simulated using the fluid dynamic code FLUENT. The result shows that the uneven distribution of helium flows in the original sub-module cooling tubes lead the heat transfer efficiency falls. Therefore, the design improvement on the flow distribution of sub-module is necessary. (authors)
