QuadSubChannel1PhaseProblem
Solver class for subchannels in a square lattice assembly and bare fuel pins
Overview
This class solves for the subchannel flow variables in the case of subchannels/pins arranged in a square lattice. It inherits from the base class : SubChannel1PhaseProblem
. Information regarding the solver can be found in SubChannel Theory.
Pin surface temperature is calculated at the end of the solve, if there is a PinMesh using Dittus Boelter correlation.
