In the frame of the IP-EUROTRANS Project, an experimental program, focused on studying the LBE/water interaction has been performed using the LIFUS 5 facility available at ENEA-Brasimone. The physical effects and the possible consequences of this interaction have been evaluated over a wide range of different conditions. Besides the experimental activities, a numerical simulation activity has been performed with SIMMER code in order to better investigate the thermo-hydraulic phenomena involved in the interaction and to confirm the capabilities of the code to simulate this kind of phenomena. The experimental and the calculated results in terms of pressure and temperature evolutions in the system show a good agreement.

Abstract
In the frame of the IP-EUROTRANS Project, an experimental program, focused on studying the LBE/water interaction has been performed using the LIFUS 5 facility available at ENEA-Brasimone.

Besides the experimental activities, a numerical simulation activity has been performed with SIMMER code in order to better investigate the thermo-hydraulic phenomena involved in the interaction and to confirm the capabilities of the code to simulate this kind of phenomena. The experimental and the calculated results in terms of pressure and temperature evolutions in the system show a good agreement.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
