Abstract
This paper deals with an experimental investigation of the buoyancy driven exchange flow which takes place through a narrow cylindrical channel, during the stand pipe rupture accident in a high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). The velocity distribution through the cylindrical channel is measured by a laser Doppler velocimeter, in order to evaluate the air ingress flow rate. The experiments are performed under atmospheric pressure with nitrogen as a working fluid. Rayleigh number ranges from 1.3 x 10{sup 7} to 7.0 x 10{sup 7}. The following conclusions were obtained: (1) The laser Doppler velocimeter was found a good method for the measurement of the velocity of the exchange flow. (2) When the temperature of the hemisphere and the bottom heated plate, which simulate the top cover of the reactor, was kept uniform, the volumetric exchange flow rate agreed well with Epstein`s result. (3) The exchange flow through a narrow cylindrical channel fluctuated irregularly with time and space. (author).
