Pool boilup analysis using the TRANSIT-HYDRO code with improved vapor/liquid drag models. [LMFBR]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6371406
;
The TRANSIT-HYDRO computer code is being developed to provide a tool for assessing the consequences of transition phase events in a hypothetical core disruptive accident in an LMFBR. The TRANSIT-HYDRO code incorporates detailed geometric modeling on a subassembly-by-subassembly basis and detailed modeling of reactor material behavior and thermal and hydrodynamic phenomena. The purpose of this summary is to demonstrate the validity of the improved vapor/liquid momentum exchange models in the TRANSIT-HYDRO code for a prototypic experiment and describe some implications for transition phase scenarios.
