TOPFLOW – a new multipurpose thermalhydraulic test facility for the investigation of steady state and transient two phase flow phenomena
-
A. Schaffrath
Abstract
The Forschungszentrum Rossendorf (FZR) e. V is constructing a new large-scale test facility, TOPFLOW, for thermalhydraulic single effect tests. The acronym stands for Transient Two Phase Flow Test Facility. It will mainly be used for the investigation of generic and applied steady state and transient two phase flow phenomena and the development and validation of models of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Codes.
Abstract
Am Institut für Sicherheitsforschung (FWS) des Forschungszentrums Rossendorf (FZR) e. V wird die Mehrzweck-Thermohydraulikversuchsanlage TOPFLOW (Transient Two Phase Flow Test Facility) zur Untersuchung stationärer und transienter Phänomene in Zweiphasenströmungen sowie zur Entwicklung und Validierung der in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Codes enthaltenen Modelle aufgebaut.
