NEUP CINR-24-31587: Hydrodynamics of Two-Phase Flow Under the Geometric Effects of Pipe Orientation and U-bends

Most two-phase flow analyses have been performed in straight vertical-upward pipes. However, nuclear reactor systems include piping with different geometric components, such as elbows or U-bends, as well as changes in flow orientations. The proposed work performs experiments in a scaled test facility existing at PI's lab to investigate the effects of flow orientations and geometries relevant to nuclear reactor systems on the hydrodynamics of two-phase flow.
