Analysis of gas entrainment phenomenon from free liquid surface for a sodium-cooled fast reactor design (Velocity profile and Strouhal number in a flow field)

Gas entrainment (GE) from cover gas, which is an inert gas to cover sodium coolant in the reactor vessel, is one of the key issues for Sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs) design to prevent unexpected effects to core reactivity. In this research series, evaluation method has been investigated for surf...
