Abstract

An accurate knowledge of hydro-dynamic behavior of a liquid film flow on nuclear fuel rods is indispensable for analysis of the CHF under postulated loss-of-coolant-accidents in boiling water reactors. This work is concerned with a new development of ultrasonic transmission technique for film flow measurements. The technique adopted a rotating reflector, capable of measuring time-dependent spatial distribution of liquid film thickness around a simulated nuclear fuel rod. The scanning time is currently 4 ms for reconstruction of one image of the circumferential film thickness distribution.
