Abstract
Heat transfer in subcooled boiling is an important issue to increase the effectiveness of design and safety in operation of engineering system such as nuclear plant. The subcooled boiling, which may occur in the hot channel of reactor in normal state and in decreased pressure condition in transient state, can cause multi-dimensional and complicated respects. The variation of local heat transfer phenomena is created by changing of liquid and vapor velocity, by simultaneous bubble break-ups and coalescences, and by corresponding to bubble evaporation and condensation, and that can affect the stability of the system. The established researches have carried out not a point of local distributions of two-phase variables, but a point of systematical distributions, mostly. Although the subcooled boiling models have been used to numerical analysis using CFX-4.2,there are few verification of subcooled boiling models. This paper demonstrated locally and systematically the validation of subcooled boiling model in numerical calculations using CFX-4.2 especially, in annulus channel flow condition in subcooled boiling at low pressure with respect to subcooled boiling models such as mean bubble diameter model, bubble departure diameter model or wall heat flux model and models related with phase interface.
