CFD: Mixing process is it an art of science?

Höhne, T.

Abstract

Basic Phenomenon
Boron 10 = strong thermal neutron absorber
Used as boric acid solved in the coolant of PWRs to compensate excess reactivity inadvertant or unavoidable decrease of boron concentration (boron dilution) might result in a reactivity transient
Power peak depends on coolant mixing in Cold leg, Downcomer Lower plenum Density differences can strongly influence the mixing

Keywords: CFD; mixing; boron dilution
