Heat pipes are efficient heat transfer devices used in various applications, including nuclear microreactors. Heat pipe-cooled microreactors offer advantages in size and cost, which can significantly accelerate their deployment and adoption. Developing accurate models of heat pipes is crucial for a heat pipe-cooled microreactor design and operation. In this work a verification and validation of the heat pipe application Sockeye is presented. Results are compared against RANS simulations, performed with the code Nek5000, and the SPHERE experiment, conducted at INL.
