The SquAd derivation: A Square Additive approach to the turbulent Prandtl number [version 3; peer review: 1 approved, 3 approved with reservations, 1 not approved] [PDF]
Open Research Europe, 2023 Liquid metals have been chosen as primary coolant of innovative nuclear systems under current development. They present a very high thermal conductivity and hence a very low molecular Prandtl number.

A New Anisotropic Four-Parameter Turbulence Model for Low Prandtl Number Fluids
Fluids, 2021 Due to their interesting thermal properties, liquid metals are widely studied for heat transfer applications where large heat fluxes occur. In the framework of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) approach, the Simple Gradient Diffusion Hypothesis (
