Rod Bundle Heat transfer (RBHT) Project

Ongoing

Joint project

The goal of the Rod Bundle Heat transfer (RBHT) Project is to conduct experiments in the RBHT facility in the United States in order to:

simulate reflood scenarios in a prototypical PWR rod bundle section
investigate the effect of complex (e.g.oscillatory), inlet flows
obtain high-quality data on flow rates, temperature distributions, heat-fluxes and droplet size distributions
organise a benchmark exercise to further develop and assess system thermal-hydraulics and sub-channel codes.
