NATURAL CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS IN A CANISTER WITH HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION OF DUAL PURPOSE CASK FOR SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL

A full-sized model for the horizontally oriented metal cask containing 21 spent fuel assemblies has been considered to evaluate the internal natural convection behavior within a dry shield canister (DSC) filled with helium as a working fluid. A variety of two-dimensional CFD numerical investigations...
