Steady-State Axial Pressure Losses Along the Exterior of Deformed Fuel Cladding: Multirod Burst Test (MRBT) Bundles B-L and B-2
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
The experimental and COBRA-IV computational data presented in this report confirm that increased pressure losses, induced by the steady-state axial flow of water exterior to deformed Multirod Burst Test (MRBT) bundles B-1 and B-2, may be closely predicted using a bundle-averaged approach for describing flow channel restrictions. One anomaly that was encountered using this technique occurred while modeling the B-2 flow test data near a severe channel restriction: the COBRA-IV results tended to underestimate experimental pressure losses.
