PROCEEDINGS OF IBRAE RAS, ISSUE 8: FREE CONVECTION AND HEAT TRANSFER IN FLUIDS WITH INTERNAL HEAT SOURCES HETEROGENEOUS MEDIA

Ed. by L. A. Bolshov

The results of investigations of free convection in heat-generating fluid are presented. The works were performed at Nuclear Safety Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences under the program of severe accidents at NPP’s. The collection consists of 13 papers. In the first seven papers, classification of heat-transfer regimes, integral regularities for heat flux to the boundary, dependence of free convection on cavity geometry and heat source distribution are obtained. In addition, a model is developed and numerical calculations are conducted for two-phase flow in porous heat-generating media. In the next five papers, turbulent convection, heat transfer from a stratified melt, heating up and melting of core, and corium-concrete interactions are modeled using modern CFD-codes. In the last paper thermodynamic model is developed for phase stratification of multicomponent fluid with internal heat sources.

The assumed target for the issue are students and specialists in heat and mass transfer phenomena.
