Countercurrent Air-Water Flow in a Scale-Down Model of a Pressurizer Surge Line by Takashi Futatsugi, Chihiro Yanagi, Michio Murase, Shigeo Hosokawa, Akio Tomiyama

“…Characteristics of countercurrent flow limitation (CCFL) in a 1/10-scale model of the surge line were measured using air and water at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The experimental results show that CCFL takes place at three different locations, that is, at the upper junction, in the surge line, and at the lower junction, and its characteristics are governed by the most dominating flow limitation among the three. …”
