What is it about?
Flow regime transition criteria for rod bundles developed by assumed mechanisms.

Why is it important?
Important for normal shell-tube type heat exchangers and steam generators in the nuclear industry.
Perspectives
1. Extensive literature review indicates very limited models on flow regime transition criteria of cross-flow. 2. Extensive literature survey indicates some discrepancy of definitions in flow regime transition mechanisms. 3. Developed flow regime transition criteria for upward two-phase cross-flow in horizontal bundles. 4. The new flow regime transition criteria agree fairly well with 12 different flow regime maps.
