Influence of Spacer Grid Outer Strap on Fuel Assembly Thermal Hydraulic Performance
The outer strap as a typical structure of a spacer grid enhances the mechanical strength, decreases hang-up susceptibility, and also influences thermal hydraulic performance, for example, pressure loss, mixing performance, and flow distribution. In the present study, a typical grid spacer with diffe...
