Abstract
This paper deals with the numerical treatment of two additional terms in the Lmnc-system derived and studied in previous publications and modelling the coolant in a nuclear reactor core. On the one hand, we investigate the influence of the thermal conduction upon steady analytical solutions and upon numerical strategies designed in dimensions 1 and 2. On the other hand, we consider a time-varying thermodynamic pressure that enables to simulate a larger variety of physical situations. Taking into account the resulting terms in the equations lead us to adapt numerical methods to ensure accuracy.
