Assessment of the Turbulent Prandtl Number Effect on Simulating Heat Transfer Characteristics of Supercritical Water Flow in Bare Tubes

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a numerical approach to modelling fluids in multidimensional space using the Navier-Stokes equations and databases of fluid properties to arrive at a full simulation of a fluid dynamics and heat transfer system. The turbulence models employed in CFD are a set of equations that determine the turbulence transport terms in the mean flow equations. They are based on hypotheses about the process of turbulence, …
