Direct Numerical Simulation of High Prandtl Number Fluid Flow in the Downcomer of an Advanced Reactor

The design of advanced nuclear reactors (Gen IV) involves an array of challenging fluid-flow issues that affect its safety and performance. The calculated DNS database will be instrumental in understanding the flow behavior in the downcomer. Ultimately, we aim to evaluate existing heat transfer correlations and some modifications are proposed.
