Abstract

The flow and heat transfer of turbulent flow in typical 4 rod bundles in rolling motion is investigated with LES and URANS. The effect of rolling motion consists of two parts, the axial additional force which causes velocity oscillation and the radial additional force. The effect of rolling motion on the flowing similarity is considerable. The effect of radial additional force on the flow should not be neglected. In ocean environment, the effect of radial additional force on the flow should not be neglected. The average parameters are determined by the drive force and axial additional force, but the parameter profiles in the cross section are mainly determined by the radial additional force.
