As a severe accident mitigation strategy in a nuclear power plant, ERVC(External Reactor Vessel Cooling) has been proposed. Under ERVC conditions, where a molten corium is relocated in a reactor vessel lower head, a natural circulation two-phase flow is driven in the annular gap between the reactor vessel wall and its insulation. This flow should be sufficient to remove the decay heat of the molten corium and maintain the integrity of the reactor vessel. Preliminary experimental study was performed to estimate the natural circulation two-phase flow. The experimental facility which is one dimensional, the half height, and the 1/238 channel area of APR1400, was prepared and the experiments were carried out to estimate the natural circulation two-phase flow with varying the parameters of the coolant inlet area, the heat rate, and the coolant inlet subcooling. In results, the periodic circulation flow was observed and the characteristics were varied from the experimental parameters. The frequency of the natural circulation flow rate increased as the wall heat flux increased.

연안해역에서의 흐름은 조석에 의한 주기적인 해수면의 승강작용에 의한 조류, 바람에 의해 발생되는 수면 마찰력에 의한 풍성류(wind-driven flow), 밀도가 다른 하천수 등의 유입에 의한 밀도류 등에 의하여 발생한다. 대부분의 자연수괴에서의 실제 흐름은 이러한 흐름들이 단독으로 발생하는 것이 아니라 동시에 발생하는 복합류(combined flow)이다 따라서, 연안해역에서의 오염물질의 이동ㆍ확산은 이러한 복합류에 의하여 발생하므로 복합류의 구조에 대한 정확한 이해, 평가 및 예측은 연안수의 순환 및 오염물질의 확산에 관한 자연현상을 정확히 이해하는데 있어서 반드시 필요하다.
