The second in the series of three PVRC benchmark problems concerning elevated temperature design analysis technology is presented. The other two problems are presented as companion papers in this publication. This problem is referred to as the Saclay Fluctuating Sodium Level Experiment and the conditions and experimental results were provided by the Commissariat a L'Energie Atomique (CEA) of the Centre D'Etudes Nucleaires (CEN) in Saclay, France. The test involved two large concentric cylindrical vessels with hot sodium filling the space between them to a level that changes with time. The analyses consider up to 100 cycles of fluid oscillation. A total of five analytical solutions were provided to the PVRC using special purpose computer codes and using selected simplified analysis techniques. After being compared with one another, the analytical solutions were then compared with the experimental results.
