Enhancing Thermal-Hydraulic Modelling in Dual Fluid Reactor Demonstrator: The Impact of Variable Turbulent Prandtl Number

open access: yesEnergies
In response to the growing demand for advanced nuclear reactor technologies, this study addresses significant gaps in thermal-hydraulic modelling for dual fluid reactors (DFRs) by integrating Kays correlation to implement a variable turbulent Prandtl ...

Effects of a Turbulent Field on Turbulent Prandtl Number

open access: yesPROCEEDINGS OF THE JAPANESE CONFERENCE ON HYDRAULICS, 1989
This paper describes an investigation of the effects of characteristic values in a flow field on turbulent Prandtl number. The relational expressions of the dissipation rate of temperature fluctuation were obtained in an isotropic turbulent field when the turbulence became both sufficiently strong and weak.

Statistics of Heat Transfer in Two-Dimensional Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection at Various Prandtl Number

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
Statistics of heat transfer in two-dimensional (2D) turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection for Pr=6,20,100 and 106 are investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM).

Large-scale circulation and oscillation in turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection with a Prandtl number Pr = 12.3

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2021
An experimental study of the three-dimensional spatial structure of low-frequency temperature oscillations in cylindrical Rayleigh–Bénard convection of a fluid with a Prandtl number Pr = 12.3, aspect ratio Γ ≡ D/L = 1.00 (D is the diameter, and L is the ...

Numerical Study of Liquid Metal Turbulent Heat Transfer in Cross-Flow Tube Banks

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Heavy liquid metals (HLM) are attractive coolants for nuclear fission and fusion applications due to their excellent thermal properties. In these reactors, a high coolant flow rate must be processed in compact heat exchangers, and as such, it may be ...

Fluctuation dynamo and turbulent induction at small Prandtl number [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2010
We study the Lagrangian mechanism of the fluctuation dynamo at zero Prandtl number and infinite magnetic Reynolds number, in the Kazantsev-Kraichnan model of white-noise advection. With a rough velocity field corresponding to a turbulent inertial-range, flux-freezing holds only in a stochastic sense.

RANS Modeling of Stably Stratified Turbulent Boundary Layer Flows in OpenFOAM®

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2015
Quantifying mixing processes relating to the transport of heat, momentum, and scalar quantities of stably stratified turbulent geophysical flows remains a substantial task. In a stably stratified flow, such as the stable atmospheric boundary layer (SABL),

Turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection for a Prandtl number of 0.67

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2009
For the Rayleigh-number range 107 ≲ Ra ≲ 1011 we report measurements of the Nusselt number Nu and of properties of the large-scale circulation (LSC) for cylindrical samples of helium gas (Prandtl number Pr = 0.674) that have aspect ratio Γ ≡ D/L = 0.50 (D and L are the diameter and the height respectively) and are heated from below.
