Justification of the CONV-3D code for simulating natural circulation of a lead-bismuth coolant in a hydraulic circuit
摘要
The paper presents the results of simulating circulation of a lead-bismuth coolant in a hydraulic circuit using the CONV‑3D code. The temperature head and flow rate of the coolant are simulated for various heating power values. The developed code satisfactorily simulates the natural convective flow of a lead-bismuth coolant in a hydraulic circuit, thus being appropriate for analyzing these flow types in various applications.
