“…Thermal hydraulic studies of the free surface about HLM targets have become important recently in the innovation nuclear reactors designs. The free surface formed in HLM targets has been researched by both simulations and experiments by some groups focusing on the target designs [ 17 21 ]. The multi-propose hybrid research reactor for high-tech applications (MYRRHA) is currently in design at Mol/Beigium.…”

“…The MYRRHA’s first design was tested using water and the experiments were performed at the University Catholic de Louvain (UCL) [ 22 ]. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, accounting for mass transfer across the free surface, were conducted with the Volume of Fluid method (VOF) [ 17 , 23 – 27 ]. The experimental results from UCL demonstrated the capabilities of the VOF method.…”

“…Accordingly, there is less literature focusing on metal melt experiments with detailed jet development and breakup processes. Hence, the work of Batta et al presents both experimental and numerical results of a free‐surface flow of a heavy liquid metal as a coolant and spallation target in a research reactor with the intent to investigate the transmutation of high‐level nuclear waste. The validation of the VOF simulations shows good quantitative results for the analyzed free surface data of different flow rates compared to the experiment.…”

“…The approach is based on simplical meshes; all cells and faces are simplexes. Validation of serial computations based on our fully-adaptive simplicial mesh approach can be found in numerous works: Dai and Schmidt [4], Quan et al [16], Mooney et al [17], Mooney and Schmidt [18], Dieter-Kissling et al [14], Dieter-Kissling et al [19], and Batta et al [20], among others. A validation example is shown in Fig.…”
