Effect of water column type of DVI injection on the direct ECC bypass

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The direct ECC bypass fraction is strongly dependent on the ECC injection angle and the regional flow characteristics in the reactor downcomer annulus. The ECC film spreading width is dependant on the linear momentum of ECC water and the wall resistance in the downcomer. If the ECC water is injected into the downcomer annulus as a water column rather than forming a film shape by impinging jet, the wall resistance becomes to be minimized compared to that of the impinging injection mode. In this experiment, the ECC water column is injected into the downcomer from the cap of the downcomer annulus. Also, the relative angle between the cold leg and the vertical DVI nozzle is varied from -15 degrees to +52 degrees to investigate the regional dependency on the direct bypass of ECC water in a downcomer annulus
