Analytical tool development for coarse break-up of a molten jet in a deep water pool

Moriyama, Kiyofumi; Nakamura, Hideo; Maruyama, Yu*

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 236(19-21), p.2010 - 2025, 2006/10

A computer code JASMINE-pre was developed for the prediction of premixing conditions of fuel-coolant interactions and the debris bed formation behavior relevant to severe accidents of light water reactors. JASMINE-pre consists of three melt component models: melt jet, melt particles and melt pool, coupled with a two-phase flow model derived from the ACE-3D code developed at JAERI. Simulations of the FARO corium quenching experiments with a saturated water pool and with a subcooled water pool were performed with JASMINE-pre and ${tt pmjet}$. JASMINE-pre reproduced the pressurization and fragmentation behaviors observed in the experiments with a reasonable accuracy. The results by pmjet showed qualitatively the same trend with JASMINE-pre in the fragmentation behavior.

Coarse break-up of a stream of oxide and steel melt in a water pool (Contract research)

Moriyama, Kiyofumi; Maruyama, Yu; Usami, Tsutomu*; Nakamura, Hideo

A series of experiments on the break-up of high temperature oxide and steel melt jets in a water pool was conducted. The objective was to obtain data for the jet break-up length and size distribution of the droplets produced by the jet break-up, and information on the influence of material properties. Also, we tried to obtain additional information giving a clue to the mechanism governing the melt jet break-up, such as flow intensity of the steam column surrounding the melt jet, and its relation with the droplet size. In the experiments, zirconia-alumina mixture and stainless steel melt jets with diameter $$sim$$17mm and velocity $$sim$$7.8m/s at the water surface were dropped into a deep (2.1m) or shallow (0.6m) water pool with various subcool. From the results of the present experiments and also by referring other experimental data from literature, we obtained empirical correlation equations for the jet break-up length, the fraction of jet broken-up in a shallow pool where the jet was not completely broken-up, and the droplet size.

Current status of study on fuel-coolant interactions (FCIs) relevant to LWR severe accidents

Moriyama, Kiyofumi; Nakamura, Hideo; Hirano, Masashi

Nihon Kikai Gakkai Dai-8-Kai Doryoku, Enerugi Gijutsu Shimpojiumu Koen Rombunshu, p.209 - 214, 2002/06

Through a review of experimental works on steam explosions and consideration on the uncertainty in the methodology for plant scale analysis of each stage of the phenomena, it was identified that the molten jet breakup process in premixing has an important uncertainty caused by lack of experimental knowledge. Based on this perspective, an experimental work are under planning at Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), in which the premixing stage of steam explosions in a deep water pool is modeled by high temperature oxide melts. Melt material and scale of the experiment were examined in terms of the simulation capability of the jet breakup mechanism in a plant scale phenomena. Materials and geometrical scale considered adequate were found.
