Comparison of Analytical and Experimental Data for Shear Stresses on Fuel Rods
ABSTRACT
The paper presents a comparison of analytical and experimental data for shear stresses on the fuel rods of bundles in regular and irregular arrays. The paper presents verification of the RKN and RKN-M software packages using both own experimental data and also the data of other researchers. Taking into account calculation results and a number of referenced experimental works on thermal hydraulic processes (shear stress on the surfaces of bundle rods) occurring along multirod bundles, it is recommended to use one-vorticle transfer gradient model for analytical calculation.
