Description

An analysis of the ablation of a solid plate subjected to an impinging jet of molten metal has been performed, including both experiments and analytical modelling. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of using simulants to study meltdown phenomena in light water reactors. The results obtained indicates that both the interaction between the proposed simulant materials, (i.e., eutectic metal and paraffin), and that between the actual reactor materials can be described by the same analytical model
