Application of an Integral Turbulence Model to Close the Model of an Anisotropic Porous Body as Applied to Rod Structures

open access: yesFluids, 2022
In practice, often devices are ordered rod structures consisting of a large number of rods. Heat exchangers, fuel assemblies of nuclear reactors, and their cores in the case of using caseless assemblies are examples of such devices.
