Fuel-rod vibration in two-phase flow. [BWR]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6606739
The results of a test program investigating the flow-induced vibration (FIV) characteristics of fuel rods subjected to various thermal hydraulic flow conditions (single-phase flow, two-phase inlet flow, and boiling flow) are presented. The effects of single-phase fluid temperature, mass flux, two-phase inlet quality and bundle power on the FIV characteristics of fuel rods are reported.
