Numerical simulation of thermal stress fluctuation at a mixing tee for thermal fatigue problems

Thermal fatigue cracks have been found at mixing tees in nuclear power plants. The mixing flow of high and low temperature fluids causes temperature and stress fluctuations in the pipe wall and these result in fatigue crack initiation. The authors have conducted a fluid-structure coupled simulation...
