Times Cited Count:31 Percentile:98.32(Mechanics)A Boiling phenomenon in a liquid flow field is known as forced-convection boiling. We numerically investigated the boiling system on a cylinder in a flow at a saturated condition. To deal with such a phenomenon, we developed a numerical scheme based on the pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann method. The collision was performed in the space of central moments (CMs) to enhance stability for high Reynolds numbers. Furthermore, additional terms for thermodynamic consistency were derived in a CMs framework. The effectiveness of the model was tested against some boiling processes, including nucleation, growth, and departure of a vapor bubble for high Reynolds numbers. Our model can reproduce all the boiling regimes without the artificial initial vapor phase. We found that the Nukiyama curve appears even though the focused system is the forced-convection system. Also, our simulations support experimental observations of intermittent direct solid-liquid contact even in the film-boiling regime.

As a part of technology development related to fuel debris exploration technology in the reactor containment vessel, demonstration tests of an remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for investigating the distribution and surface condition of submerged fuel debris were carried out by using the test water tank of Naraha Remote Technology Development Center of Japan Atomic Energy Agency and using the TRIGA Mark II research reactor of Jozef Stefan Institute of Slovenia. In the demonstration test, we confirmed the cooperation with the acoustic exploration device, the performance of the ROV positioning system, the operation in the reactor pool, and showed that it is possible to display 3D image of the shape of simulated fuel debris.
