Description

A numerical method of multi-dimensional, multiphase flow with chemical reaction, SERAPHIM code, has been developed to investigate a sodium-water reaction phenomenon which will be occurred in a steam generator of liquid sodium cooled fast reactor. With regard to sodium-water reaction and the gas-phase reaction models are taken into account based on a liquid and a gas phase of sodium respectively. A multi-fluid and one pressure model is applied to SERAPHIM code. It is demonstrated that one can investigate sodium-water reaction phenomena in detail. (author)
