Numerical investigation of flow characteristics through simple support grids in a 1 x 3 rod bundle

This paper investigated the influence of simple support girds on flow, irrespective of having mixing vanes, in a 1 x 3 array rod bundle by using CFD methodology and the most accurate turbulence model which could reflect the actual physics of the flow was determined. In this context, a CFD model was...
