Study on flow velocity evaluation in fuel bundles
The rod-type laser Doppler velocimeter(Note) is combined with numerical analysis technique to validate the flow velocity distribution in fuel bundles and to develop numerical calculation methods, which are used to improve and develop spacer grids with good hydraulic characteristics.
