Sensitivity Analysis of CFD Code FLUENT-12 for Supercritical Water Heat Transfer in Vertical Bare Tubes
Abstract
The ability to use FLUENT 12 or other CFD software to accurately model supercritical water flow through various geometries in diabatic conditions is integral to research involving coal-fired power plants as well as Supercritical Water-cooled Reactors (SCWR). The cost and risk associated with constructing supercritical water test loops are far too great to use in a university setting. Previous work has shown that FLUENT 12, specifically …
