Abstract: A three-dimensional, finite-difference procedure has been utilized in the solution of the parabolic partial-differential equations which govern the steady flow of fluid through an interior subchannel of a bare rod bundle.The rods are assumed to be smooth, and the incompressible coolant flow is parallel to the axes of the rods.A special non-orthogonal coordinate system has been developed to represent the irregular geometry of the flow regions considered.The versatility of the method has been demonstrated by its application to other non-circular passages such as triangular and elliptic ducts.
