Abstract

The thermohydraulics of heat generating porous media saturated by liquid is modelled by two dimensional numerical approach.

The Post Accident Heat Removal situation arising in the safety analysis of LMBFRs is considered.

The reliability of the homogeneous approximation used to describe the thermal behaviour of the PAHR debris bed is discussed. The subsequent numerical procedure is presented. The predictions, supported by available experimental data, demonstrate the strong effect of the free convective mechanism.
