This study summarizes experimental investigations of the flow field characteristics in the
cross-flow planes of a 5× 5 rod bundle with spacer grid and split-type mixing vanes. Under …

The multiway valve is the core component of the integrated thermal management system in
an electric vehicle, and its heat transfer loss and pressure loss significantly impact the …

In this paper, the wire-mesh sensor (WMS) has been successfully introduced into a typical
pressurized water reactor (PWR) prototype 5× 5 rod bundle channel. Combined with the …

A correlation is developed to predict mixed convection heat transfer of water flow in rod
bundles. The rod bundles are 5× 5 and the Re number ranges from 1× 10 3 to 3× 10 4 in the …

The detailed understanding and accurate modeling of the upward two-phase flows in
vertical rod bundle flow channels are significant for various industrial applications, such as …

The helical cruciform fuel (HCF) is characterized by self-supporting and enhanced
transverse mixing, which may replace the cylindrical fuel in commercial light water reactor …

Single-phase water flow in rod bundles plays a crucial role in removing the heat generated
in the nuclear reactor core. The design and safety analysis of light-water nuclear reactors …

深刻理解棒束弯曲子通道在相态特性分布和流动特性演化方面的机制对反应堆的安全设计与
