In this presentation the state of the ongoing gas/graphite transport experiments is presented. In the frame of the EU THINS project a small-scale test facility was designed to study the particle transport in turbulent duct flows. Background motivation is the carbonaceous dust issue in the primary circuit of the High Temperature Reactor. It is a safety issue to explore the deposition and resuspension behaviour of such graphite particles to assess the transport behaviour during loss of coolant accidents. The turbulent flow field was recorded using a Particle IImage Velocimetry system. Furthermore, single particle as well as multilayer particle deposition and resuspension experiments were conducted to generate a data basis for the understanding of the particle transport behaviour. This data basis can be used for CFD code development.
