Temperature fluctuations occur due to thermal mixing of hot and cold streams in the T-junctions of the piping system in nuclear power plants, which may cause thermal fatigue of piping system. In this paper, three-dimensional, unsteady numerical simulations of coolant temperature fluctuations at a mi...
