CFD Analysis of Turbulent Heat Transfer in a Heated Rod Bundle

가열 봉다발의 난류 열전달에 대한 전산유체역학 해석

A CFD analysis has been performed to investigate turbulent heat transfer in a triangular rod bundle with a pitch-to-diameter ratio(P/D) of 1.06. Anisotropic turbulence models predicted the turbulence-driven secondary flow in the triangular subchannel and the distributions of time mean velocity and temperature showing significantly improved agreement with the measurements over the linear standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$. The anisotropic turbulence models predicted turbulence structure in large flow region fairly well but could not predict the very high turbulent intensity of azimuthal velocity observed in narrow flow region(gap).
