A semi-analytical model for the description of coolant mixing inside the KONVOI reactor pressure vessel during pump start-up


A semi-analytical model for the description of coolant mixing inside the KONVOI reactor pressure vessel during pump start-up

Kliem, S.; Prasser, H.-M.

The coolant mixing in the downcomer and the lower plenum during pump start-up has been investigated experimentally at the ROCOM test facility. This facility is a 1:5 linearly scaled model of the KONVOI reactor pressure vessel. Transfer functions for a semi-analytical model have been derived from these experiments. The comparison of the model with further experiments and a computational fluid dynamics calculation is presented.

Keywords: Coolant mixing; pump start-up
