Analytical study of the closure flow inside the ETRR-2 core chimney

Abstract The present work is carried out in order to study the closure flow inside the core chimney of the Egypt Second Research Reactor (ETRR-2). Based on the finite difference technique, a two dimensional model is developed to simulate the coolant flow inside the chimney. The model is verified by FEHT finite element program. Then a study of different closure flow values inside the chimney was made using the developed model where a flow map is plotted showing the stagnation depth for each closure flow. The flow map shows that for a closure flow greater than 0.16 m3/h, no active water ascends from the core to the pool through the chimney. The model results are analyzed and discussed.
