R-Functions Method in the Mathematical Modeling of Convective Heat Exchange in an Octahedral Fuel Assembly with 37 Fuel Elements

Аннотация

We consider conjugate boundary-value problems of heat exchange for the cases where a viscous incompressible liquid moves through channels with noncanonical cross section flowing around a bundle of rods. The influence of the type of packing on the velocity and temperature distributions is investigated. For the solution, we use the R-functions method in combination with the Ritz variational method. We consider the cases of cyclic, staggered, and rectangular packing of fuel elements.
