Numerical simulation on jet breakup in the fuel-coolant interaction using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

In a severe accident of light water reactor (LWR), molten core material (corium) can be released into the wet cavity, and a fuel-coolant interaction (FCI) can occur. The molten jet with high speed is broken and fragmented into small debris, which may cause a steam explosion or a molten core concrete...
