Thermal Diffusion and Phase Change in a Heat Exchanger
Abstract
This work is devoted to the numerical simulation of liquid-vapour flows with phase transition in nuclear framework. We investigate the lmnc model enriched with thermal diffusion, describing the evolution of the coolant within a core of a Pressurized Water Reactor. We focus on the influence of the thermal diffusion on a simple configuration for which some analytical computations can be done and we compare two different numerical approaches.
