Description

A model for the thermal-hydraulic behaviour of a CANDU fuel channel is presented. A single-phase or a two-phase flow model is transformed into a low order dynamical system of ordinary differential equations. This model is applied to simulation of thermal-hydraulic CANDU fuel channel transients. Some typical results are reported and compared with the predictions of FIREBIRD code. (authors)
