This paper describes the methodology adopted to perform a CFD analysis with the aim to study thermal striping in T-junctions with liquid sodium; in particular, a portion of the Phenix reactor’s secondary circuit has been taken into account, by implementing a detailed 3D model of both fluid and solid domain; RANS and LES turbulence models are used and their results are compared, then frequency analysis of temperature fluctuations has been performed. In the last paragraph, conclusions are summarized and further development are suggested.

Abstract
This paper describes the methodology adopted to perform a CFD analysis with the aim to study thermal striping in T-junctions with liquid sodium; in particular, a portion of the Phenix reactor’s secondary circuit has been taken into account, by implementing a detailed 3D model of both fluid and solid domain; RANS and LES turbulence models are used and their results are compared, then frequency analysis of temperature fluctuations has been performed. In the last paragraph, conclusions are summarized and further development are suggested.File in questo prodotto:
