Experimental study on the transverse mixing of 5× 5 helical cruciform fuel assembly by wire mesh sensor

Q Zhang, L Liu, Y Xiao, J Fu, H Gu - Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2021 - Elsevier
The helical cruciform fuel (HCF) is developed for the commercial benefit of the nuclear
power plant. The most distinct features of this fuel are self-mixing and self-supporting. This
paper focuses on the transverse mixing characteristics of a 5× 5 HCF assembly by the tracer
method. The KCl solution is used as tracer and its concentration is measured by the WMS
detector. The WMS detector is calibrated and its measuring error is 5.4%. The transverse
mixing of the sub-channels is dominated by the swirl flow caused by the blade of the HCF …
