During a severe accident in nuclear reactors, the core may melt and relocate into the lower
head. The decay power in the accumulated melt pool will threaten the integrity of the reactor …

Due to the high-Rayleigh-number natural convection and strong turbulence in the
volumetrically heated corium melt pools, it is difficult to capture the heat transfer …

A severe accident management strategy known as 'in-vessel retention (IVR)'is widely
adopted in most of advanced nuclear power plants. The IVR mitigation is assumed to be …

In a hypothetical severe accident that happens in a light water reactor (LWR), the melt pool
could be formed in the lower plenum of reactor pressure vessel (RPV). Remaining these …

The main objective of the LIVE program at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is to study the
core melt phenomena both experimentally in large-scale three-dimensional (3D) geometry …

In-vessel retention is an important measure to alleviate the core meltdown accident in the
third generation nuclear power plant. External Reactor Vessel Cooling (ERVC) is the key to …

In the severe accident (SA) event of core meltdown, the 'In-vessel retention (IVR)'mitigation
has been certified as an effective strategy for accident management in most advanced …

The sequence of a postulated core melt down accident in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV)
of a pressurised water reactor (PWR) involves a large number of complex physical and …

The convection flow and heat transfer actuated by internal decay heat and the sloshing of
vessels are the primary problems in the study of thermal behaviors in volumetrically heated …

An analysis was made of the developed modified Nusselt number ratio Nu for estimating
thermal loads on the surfaces of a flat horizontal layer of metal melt (liquid-metal coolants …
