Single-Phase Crossflow Mixing in a Vertical Tube Bundle Geometry: An Experimental Study

The vertical rod/tube bundle geometry has a wide variety of industrial applications. Typical examples are the core of light water nuclear reactors (LWR) and vertical tube steam generators. In the core of a LWR, primarily coolant flows upward but their also exist a flow in lateral direction, called crossflow, in the gaps in between the sub...
