Resumo
Free convection circuits or natural circulation systems are employed in several engineering fields. In
nuclear reactors, natural circulation can be used as a passive safety system or as a main heat transfer
mechanism.
This work presents the results of a three-dimensional numerical analysis of a steady state rectangular
natural circulation loop located at the Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares/Comissão Nacional
de Energia Nuclear (IPEN/CNEN-SP). Numerical results and experimental data present in this paper are
discussed and compared.
The model is good enough to capture 3-D effects, such as the formation of vortex structures and swirl
effects.
