Abstract:Natural convection in enclosures have been studied numerically to provide insigh,_into the scaling laws existing for removal of decay heat in Liquid Metal Fast Reactors (LMFR). Speci.ficaUy, 3-D simulations have been carried out for natural circulation in a cylinder with small aspect ratio (of the order of 0.5). These results have been compared to the results of an experiment conducted by UCSB, in collaboration with GE, to provide benchmark data for code validation. Parametric studies have been conducted to es… Show more
