Numerical and Experimental Study of Thermal Stratification Outside a Small SMR Containment Vessel

A Small Modular Reactor’s (SMR) containment vessel (CNV) is submerged in the reactor cooling pool, which supplies a passive heat sink for containment to remove heat during Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). The heat transfer efficiency of passive safety systems is affected by thermal stratif...
