Three-dimension thermal hydraulic studies for the pool-type fast reactor of CEFR

With the development of the computer software and hardware, 3-dimension numerical analysis technology has become an important part of the reactor core and plenums design and research of the fast reactor, sometimes even plays an un-replacable role in the design. In this paper, the typical thermal-hydraulic phenomena in the pool-type fast reactor are analysed by using 3-dimension numerical analysis codes and programs. It can be said that it will play an important role in the thermal hydraulic design and research by using these tools. And at the same time, it will also set good examples and speed up the application of these technologies by summing up these experiences and methods in order that it can be used in the future design and analyses for the large-scaled pool-type fast reactor.
