This paper describes the current status of flow-induced vibration evaluation methodology development for the primary piping in JSFR, in particular emphasizing on the development approach and research activities that investigate unsteady hydraulic characteristics in a short-elbow piping. Experimental efforts have been made using 1/3-scale and 1/10-sca1e single elbow test sections for the hot-leg piping and 1/4-scale and 1/7-scale triple-elbow test sections for the cold-leg piping. Recent experiments using the 1/3-scale test section revealed that a swirl flow at the inlet of the hot-leg piping hardly influenced the pressure fluctuations onto the pipe. Simulation activities include Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equation (U-RANS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approaches. Numerical results using the U-RANS approach appear in this paper, indicating its applicability to the hot-leg piping experiments.
