Abstract

This work is devoted to the development of a system of analytical tests for verification of the thermohydraulic codes used in modeling the flow of one- and two-phase flows of liquid metals. The change of temperature in constant and variable flow of coolant, effect of axial heat conduction of the coolant on the temperature distribution, development of natural circulation in a closed loop, motion of a two-phase mixture under gravity, and fluctuations of the gas volume and distribution of the true process steam content in the presence of boiling/condensation are studied. The developed system of tests was used to verify the HYDRA-IBRAE/LM thermohydraulic code and the thermohydraulic module of the SOKRAT-BN code. The computational errors in the individual thermohydraulic parameters are obtained.
