The results of the current study presented the hydrodynamics and heat transfer features occur in the pipe systems of the thermal-hydraulic various elements of the ship nuclear power installations. A comparative analysis of the turbulent models choice, their approbation on typical elements of the curved pipelines, and comparison of the calculation results with experimental data were fulfilled. The conditions of the swirl flow crisis were determined on base of obtained results of theoretical studies and comparison with experimental data. The mechanism of occurrence of acoustic oscillations generated by large-scale vortex structures and causes of cyclic thermal loads were identified. The fundamental nature of the research, the use of the thermodynamic approach and the conclusions of the stability theory made it possible to predict the results of numerical calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
