On the prediction of the hydrodynamic flooding criterion
Description
The countercurrent flow limitation or flooding is referred to as the situation where the downward liquid flow rate is limited by an updrafting gas flow. The phenomenon is of interest because of its impact on the performance of two-phase flow in packed columns and the effectiveness of reactor coolant injection to the core under loss-of-coolant conditions. The present study focuses on the prediction of hydrodynamic flooding with no downward liquid penetration. 21 refs
