Numerical simulation of liquid fall induced gas entrainment and its mitigation

摘要: Abstract In a number of chemical and nuclear engineering applications, cover gas is maintained above liquid pool. fast breeder reactor (FBR), argon the sodium pools to ensure no direct contact between air sodium. Nevertheless, entrains into by variety mechanisms, which detrimental reactivity core. Furthermore, large components that remain partially submerged in pool, aid this undesirable entrainment process. The present study numerically explores fall induced an FBR hot A passive strategy mitigate suggested form circumferential baffle plate. An optimal design for achieved through systematic Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations.
