Abstract
The three-dimensional analysis method for sloshing behavior of fast breeder reactor (FBRs) is developed. The method treats the coolant in a reactor vessel as a potential flow with moving liquid surfaces. The Laplace equation of a velocity potential is solved by a boundary element method with its boundary condition described by a Bernoulli equation. The vibration test results of a rectangular water pool are calculated by the method. Then, the method is applied to analysis of sloshing behavior of uni- and multi-vessel type FBRs. The latter consists of vessels for the core, heat exchangers and pumps. These vessels are connected by piping. In the case of the uni-vessel type FBR, heat exchangers and pumps are placed in the reactor vessel. The characteristics of sloshing behavior of both the reactors are presented
