Determination of the Coefficients of Heat Transfer and Friction in Supercritical-Pressure Nuclear Reactors with Account of the Intensity and Scale of Flow Turbulence on the Basis of the Theory of Stochastic Equations and Equivalence of Measures

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

New dependences of the coefficients of heat transfer and friction have been presented which are used for calculations in the reactor core at a supercritical water pressure by taking account of the parameters of perturbation in the coolant flow: of the intensity and scale of flow turbulence. These solutions have been obtained based on stochastic systems of equations for the turbulence and the equivalence of measures between deterministic (laminar) and random (turbulent) flows.
