Computer Simulation of Spatial Distribution of Thermophysical Properties of Water in Vertical Heated Channels Under Supercritical Pressure
摘要
The paper presents the data of CFD modeling of spatial distributions of heat conductivity, specific heat capacity and density of supercritical water during its ascending flow in vertical bare tubes under mixed convection conditions. The results of studies of the effects of the heat flux density supplied to the wall on the distribution character of thermophysical properties are obtained. For the density of supercritical water, the data of comparison of CFD predictions corresponding to the presence and absence of buoyancy forces are presented.
