Abstract

In this paper, the influence of split-vanes attached to the end of grid spacers on local flow and heat transfer was investigated at a pressure of 25 MPa, a mass rate of 1000 kg/m2s and a heat flux of 800 kW/m2K for the sub-channels of an supercritical water reactor core. The numerical results show that there are obviously different distributions of wall temperature in three regions. The circumferential heterogeneities of the heat transfer are evidently enhanced at the downstream of the grid spacers with split-vanes. Additionally, there is a phenomenon of weakened heat transfer at the downstream of the grid spacers in the large specific heat region.
