Profiles of the different components of kinetic energy equation in the RA-ILES framework, Eq. (15). The resolution increases from top to bottom. The left column corresponds to results using the solver and the right column to results using the AUSM⁺-up solver. All simulations boost the nuclear energy generation by a factor of 3 × 10⁴. The profiles are averaged for roughly one convective turnover time. Similar to Viallet et al. (2013), the components are multiplied by the geometrical factor 4πr².
