Description

Comparison of calculational results, obtained by the participants of the benchmark on a T-junction of LMFR secondary circuit was carried out. Two-dimensional calculational thermohydraulic model of the T-junction was developed, allowing to perform numerous alternative calculations in a short time. Explanation is proposed of appearance near the wall of low-frequency pulsations of velocity and temperature in a mixing streams area. Calculations of transient periodic flow and temperature fields in fluid and a pipe wall for the T-junction was carried out. (author)
