Description

The numerical prediction of natural convection heat transfer in a horizontal annulus in which the inner cylinder is hotter than the outer cylinder is considered. A modified SIMPLE procedure is used for this purpose and it is shown that this procedure yields faster convergence. Results have been obtained for L/Dsub(i) = 0.8 and 0.15. This latter value is of interest in Horizontal Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors. (author)
