Numerical Study on Coolant Flow Distribution at the Core Inlet for an Integral Pressurized Water Reactor

When an integral pressurized water reactor is operated under low power conditions, once-through steam generator group operation strategy is applied. However, group operation strategy will cause nonuniform coolant flow distribution at the core inlet and lower plenum. To help coolant flow mix more uni...
