Brief literature review pertinent to steam generator water hammer
Description
Analysis of water hammer in steam generators requires the following information: dynamic equations on the steam supply side and on the water side which are sufficiently simple for practical solution, and yet which are descriptive of the main features of the steam and water flows affecting the behavior of the steam/cold water interface; and fairly reliable estimates of the heat transfer coefficients under highly transient conditions of steam cold water interfaces. This review deals mainly with literature measurements relative to item 2, but will also discuss dynamic modeling in connection with the chugging problem in BWR pressure suppression pools, which has many points of similarity with water hammer in steam generators
