Behavior of liquid droplets in a high-velocity gaseous jet was experimentally investigated to provide validation data for the evaluation method of sodium-water reaction phenomenon. The visualization experiment on the entrained liquid droplets in the air jet submerged in a water pool was carried out. Filament-like wisps from the wavy gas-liquid interface were observed. The wisps were broken off and entrained into the air jet. The velocity of the entrained liquid droplets was estimated from an image processing. The axial velocity of the liquid droplets increased as the air inlet velocity increased. Acceleration behavior of the liquid droplets was also confirmed quantitatively.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency has conducted a conceptional design study of a sodium-cooled fast reactor in a frame work of the FBR feasibility study. The plant system concept for a commercial step is intended to minimize a vessel diameter to achieve an economical competitiveness. Therefore, the coolant in the vessel has relatively higher velocity and gas entrainment (GE) prevention from a liquid surface in the reactor vessel becomes one of important issues for the thermal-hydraulic design. In order to establish a design criteria for the GE prevention, the GE from vortex dimples at the liquid surface was investigated by a working group. The 1st proposal of "Design Guideline for Gas Entrainment Prevention Using CFD Method" was established based on the knowledge gained from the working group activities. This report introduces each study in the working group to clarify the basis of the design guideline.
