Description
The CFD method has been an important tool in the research of SCWR thermo- hydraulics. Currently, the CFD methods uses commonly the subcritical turbulence models, which can not accurately simulate the gravity and thermal expansion acceleration effect, and CFD numerical method is not applicable when the heat flux is large. The paper summarizes the application status of the CFD methods in the research of SCWR thermo-hydraulics in RETH. (authors)
