Abstract:Bubble columns represent an extreme case of gas-liquid two-phase flow, where net liquid velocity is zero and the gas simply bubbles up through the liquid. The bubble column-type gas-liquid metal two-phase flow always appears in an accident scenario for pool-type lead-bismuth eutectic cooled fast breeder reactors. To accurately predict the void fraction for the accident evaluation and design of a reactor system, nine existing drift-flux type constitutive correlations are evaluated with a nitrogen-liquid heavy m… Show more
