Abstract

Abstract

The thermal-hydraulic characteristics of secondary side has been researched based on this facility. And a two-dimensional particle image velocimetry（2D-PIV） experiment was performed to obtain the flow pattern in the secondary side. We found that the transverse flow phenomenon occurred in the vertical tube region. The experiment also got the gradient of velocity field under different power and varying ratio of feedwater flow rate on hot side and cold side. Less intense transverse flow was observed in the case of non-uniform ratio of feedwater at both legs as compared to uniform flow.
