Experimental research on heat transfer characteristics of a two-layer corium pool based on a three-dimensional ellipsoidal lower plenum by Shihao Wu, Yapei Zhang, Jian Yu, Jingyuan Bai, Wenxi Tian, Suizheng Qiu, G. H. Su

“…The results show that the thermal stratification phenomenon mainly occurs in the lower and middle regions of the oxide layer, with a smaller dimensionless temperature gradient in the upper region; with the similar volumetric power densities, the height of the oxide layer has little effect on the wall heat flux density; the layered partition increases the thermal resistance between the two layers and reduces the upward heat transfer to the ceramic pool. In addition, the heat transfer relationships in the oxide layer, both downward and upward, are fitted for the internal Rayleigh number range of 3.43 × 1012 to 1.54 × 1013.…”
