Abstract
The TEFLU experiments were performed at the Karlsruhe Forschungszentrum in order to investigate the behaviour of a low-Prandtl number jet under various flow condition, from forced flow to purely buoyant. Here, numerical simulations are presented and results compared with the experimental data. The computation are made within the Benchmark Working Group activities in order to test the capabilities of CFD codes to simulate Heavy Liquid Metal flows with heat transfer. The simulation are performed with the CFD code Karalis.
