Abstract

Simple algebraic models for eddy viscosity still play an important role in the analysis of boiling flows especially in nuclear reactor rod bundles. For this reason I will review this subject in this chapter. I will start with models for single-phase flows in bundles in order later to follow the already established methods also for two-phase flow. In any case these methods are not as powerful as already described k-eps methods but can be used to improve predictions with existing older computer codes.
