Resumo
Previously, an instrumented dummy fuel element (DMPV-01), with the same
geometric characteristics of a MTR fuel element, was designed and constructed for
pressure drop and flow distribution measurement experiments at the IEA-R1 reactor
core. This dummy element was also used to measure the flow distribution among the
rectangular flow channels formed by element fuel plates. A CFD numerical model
was developed to complement the studies. This work presents the proposed CFD
model as well as a comparison between numerical and experimental results of flow
rate distribution among the internal flow channels. Numerical results show that the
model reproduces the experiments very well and can be used for the studies as a
more convenient and complementary tool.
