Matematičeskoe modelirovanie, Tome 22 (2010) no. 8, pp. 145-160.

Résumé

Numerical methods for solving conservation equations using in DINUS code are presented. DINUS code has been developed for direct numerical simulation of thermal-hydraulic phenomena in fuel rod bundles. To examine the methods, two test problems have been studied: turbulent flows in plane channel and in triangular rod bundle.

Détail

Keywords: direct numerical simulation, turbulent flow, fuel rod bundle.
