Two-phase-flow characteristics during reflooding of a hot vertical tube. Final report. [PWR]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6317407
Experiments have been performed to measure transient void fraction histories during reflooding of a hot vertical tube. This report describes the constant-injection bottom-reflood experimental program and its results, including void fraction measurements made with a gamma densitometer. These data show different void fraction profiles for the two flow regimes observed at the quench front - inverted-annular and annular flow.
