description For a more accurate safety analysis for the McMaster nuclear reactor (MNR), local velocity measurements in a mock-up of the 18-plate fuel assembly were conducted in the low Reynolds number region with emphasis on edge effects. With modification of the curved plates in the assembly to flat ones, velocity in the narrow channels was measured by laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV). The velocity profile in individual channels and the channel-to-channel flow distribution were obtained. The effect of the sudden transition from the larger rectangular channel to the circular pipe on the velocity profile and the effect of the handle presence in the top end fitting on the flow distribution were investigated. The pressure drop along the assembly was measured and compared to a simple 1D correlation prediction.
