Abstract

The presented work is dedicated to the development of approaches to simulate cladding melt relocation along the surface of the fuel pin. Development of the approaches is based on the results of the experiments carried out at the NSI RAS and IT SB RAS. Features of the melt relocation are studied in the experiments. It is demonstrated that the laminar film flow regime in the heated part of the fuel simulator is the main flow regime. Model of the melt relocation is constructed. This model is the part of the SAFR module of the EUCLID/V2 coupled code. It is shown that the proposed approaches allow simulating the melt relocation with good accuracy.
