Numerical and analytical predictions of nuclear steam generator secondary side flow field during blowdown due to a feedwater line break

For the structural integrity evaluation of pressurized water reactor (PWR) steam generator (SG) tubes subjected to transient hydraulic loading, determination of the tube-to-tube gap velocity and static pressure distributions along the tubes is prerequisite. This paper addresses both computational fl...
