This paper deals with a numerical study of a pebble bed reactor. The calculations are performed with the Trio_U/Priceles code. The results obtained with the Boussinesq approximation and the quasi-compressible model are compared. It is seen that the expanding effect are important. The quasi-compressible model leads to a lower maximum value for the temperature field. The maximum pressure difference is detected when the density variations are taken into account.

... This flow is vital for reactor safety, aiding heat transfer, temperature control, and reducing overheating risks. 4,5 Understanding low Mach number flow is essential for reactor safety, optimizing heat dissipation, and designing reliable systems. In nuclear reactors, solar energy systems, and buildings, heat transfer from high-temperature equipment creates a low Mach number natural circulation loop due to temperature and density variations. ...
