Turbulent mixed convection in low Prandtl number fluids, such as heavy liquid metals, is studied because of the interest in such materials as possible coolants for nuclear power plants. Liquid metals show a behavior similar to that of ordinary fluids, such as water or air, when buoyancy effects are negligible in turbulent flows.

Abstract

Turbulent mixed convection in low Prandtl number fluids, such as heavy liquid metals, is studied because of the interest in such materials as possible coolants for nuclear power plants. Liquid metals show a behavior similar to that of ordinary fluids, such as water or air, when buoyancy effects are negligible in turbulent flows.
