Numerical and experimental investigation of the water flow through PWR spacer grids
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2021 Spacer grids are one of main components of a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) fuel assembly. They are able to improve heat transfer from rod bundles to the water flow by increasing turbulence and mixture of this flow.
