Development of a Drift-flux Model for Heavy Liquid Metal/Gas Flow

Abstract: The gas lift pump concept based on the bubbling of an inert gas into the primary reactor coolant to enhance natural circulation is currently considered in a number of PbBi-cooled reactor concepts. Thus, the analysis of available void fraction data and the development of two-phase heavy liquid metal/gas flow calculational models have become an important issue in the study of advanced nuclear reactor systems. In the absence of the detailed two-phase flow information needed to develop a flow regime map and the as… Show more

“…As for gas-liquid metal two-phase flow, Mikityuk et al (2005) analyzed five sets of experimental data with different geometries, working fluids, flow rates, and void fraction ranges and compared four types of correlations for pooltype (average superficial liquid velocity is zero) and looptype channels. The recommended correlations are given by Equation 12.…”
