A Computational Investigation of Natural Circulation Effects on Heat Transfer Coefficient and Friction Factor

Creator:

Buskirk, John

Abstract:

The nuclear industry has shown a large interest in natural circulation driven passive cooling systems following the Fukushima nuclear accident. Despite this interest, there is no widely used heat transfer correlation or friction factor correlation developed for natural circulation driven flow. A CFD analysis including grid convergence testing using Fluent...
