Abstract
Models of the severe-accident SAFR module used to calculate the cladding melt relocation along the fuel pin surface during its melting are presented in relation to severe accidents in fast-neutron reactors cooled by liquid metal. The choice of the basic system of equations and closing relations is presented. The models are validated based on experiments on melting and flow of cladding simulator melts. The error of calculating the cladding mass loss due to its melting and flowing along the fuel pin surface is estimated.
期刊介绍:
The journal Thermophysics and Aeromechanics publishes original reports, reviews, and discussions on the following topics: hydrogasdynamics, heat and mass transfer, turbulence, means and methods of aero- and thermophysical experiment, physics of low-temperature plasma, and physical and technical problems of energetics. These topics are the prior fields of investigation at the Institute of Thermophysics and the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS), which are the founders of the journal along with SB RAS. This publication promotes an exchange of information between the researchers of Russia and the international scientific community.
