Analysis of turbulent heat transfer downstream of mixing vanes in subchannel of nuclear reactor

Description

The purposes of present work are to analyze turbulent convective heat transfer downstream of mixing vane in subchannel of nuclear reactor with three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. SST model is selected as a turbulence closure by comparing the performances of two different turbulent closures. Three different shapes of mixing vane are tested. And, thermal-hydraulic performances of these vanes are discussed. The results show that twist of the vane improves the heat transfer performance far downstream of the vane. (author)
