Lead coolant modeling in system thermal-hydraulic code HYDRA-IBRAE/LM and some validation results

Liquid metal cooled fast reactor thermal hydraulic research development: A review

“…To overcome the shortcomings of separate use of STH and CFD approaches, their combination can help improve prediction capacity for each stand-alone application. Given that, [ 92 ] used the HYDRA-IBRAE/LM STH program to model lead/LBE coolant flow and performed validation of results. The experimental lead coolant study results from the Russian project PRORYV have been necessary for the assessment of STH codes.…”

Ultrasonic Measurements of Two-Phase Flow

“…The use of modern non-contact precision diagnostics tools significantly increases the efficiency and safety of technological processes in the energy sector and industry [1][2][3][4]. Modern technologies for studying the structural and dynamic parameters of three-dimensional multiphase optically nontransparent flows are very complex and insufficiently developed for industrial use.…”

“…The methods of the first group underlie the operation of ultrasonic flow meters in [3,4] (phase, frequency, pulse-time, Doppler, etc. ), which solve related problems, performing integral diagnostics of different phases in motion, but cannot cope with the task of spatial local diagnostics of multiphase medium.…”
