A conceptual design study of the Japan Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR) is in progress in "the Fast Reactor Cycle Technology Development (FaCT) project", and a two-loop primary system is adopted in order to economize the plant construction cost. In the JSFR the pipe thickness is designed to be considerably thinner and the mean sodium velocity increases. To understand the behavior of flow-induced vibration that is derived from the hydraulic characteristics under high Reynolds number conditions experiments were performed to evaluate and confirm the integrity.

For the Japan Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor, an experimental study on the fluctuating pressure of the hot legs was carried out with tests using a 1/3-scale model. The total resistance coefficient is consistent with the published data, and our research has given some additional data up to the Reynolds number of 8.010. The flow pattern in the postcritical regime is independent of a Reynolds number. The statistical examination revealed that fluctuating pressures on the pipe wall depend on the mean velocity but not on the viscosity of the fluid. Negative spikes of pressure appeared for high velocity. Based on these experimental data it is concluded that, there are similarity laws for the scale of a model and the property of fluid, but not for the velocity in the pipe. Theoretical considerations also gave a discussion how to extrapolate the fluctuating pressure to the actual hot-leg conditions.

This paper reports test results with room-temperature and hot (60 C) water in order to investigate the effect of coolant viscosity on flow dynamics and pressure fluctuations of a hot-leg piping in the post critical Reynolds number regime.

Flow characteristics in an elbow with swirl flow were experimentally obtained under a high Reynolds number regime. In the range of 015% of swirl flow fraction, no significant effect of the swirl flow on the magnitude of pressure fluctuation was not seen although the flow separation region at the elbow was twisted by the swirl flow.
