Modeling of Oxide Layer Formation and Corrosion Products Coagulation and Transport in Lead Coolant Using the OXID Module of the HYDRA-IBRAE/LM Code

Abstract

The results of testing the models implemented in the OXID module of the thermohydraulic code HYDRA-IBRAE/LM, used to calculate an oxide film on a steel surface, transport of dissolved and disperse products, and coagulation of polydisperse solid particles in lead coolant flow, are presented. The module was developed for modeling the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the channels in a reactor facility with heavy liquid-metal coolant and transport of dissolved and disperse products of corrosion and oxidation in the loop.
