Turbulent Flow of Coolant in an Advanced Recycling Nuclear Reactor
Here we see the turbulent flow of coolant into a mock-up of an advanced recycling nuclear reactor. The colors indicate the speed of the fluid, with red representing regions of high velocity and blue representing regions of low velocity. The simulation used 23 million grid points and represents 60 seconds of flow time.
