Abstrakt: This paper is devoted to the construction of a tabular method for calculating critical heat fluxes in fuel-element assemblies with a square arrangement. The method consists of a basic table and a system of correctional functions, describing the dependence of the critical heat flux on the important independent parameters. Experience in developing such a method for triangular assemblies is used. The method is compared with experimental data and other computational methods. The advantages of the new method are shown: maximum width of the range of parameters, possibility of taking account of the influence of the most important parameters, possibility of using in cell-by-cell (channelwise) calculations, and high accuracy of the description.
