Abstract
Simulation of
compression wave generation and evolution at the disk target was performed
for the case of explosive-type boiling of coolant; the boiling is
initiated by endwall rupture of a high-pressure pipeline.
The calculations were performed for shock wave amplitude at different
times and modes of pipe rupture. The simulated pressure of
a target-reflected shock wave is different from the theoretical value
for ideal gas; this discrepancy between simulation and theory becomes lower at
higher distances of flow from the nozzle exit. Comparative simulation
study was performed for flow of two-phase coolant with account for slip flow
effect and for different sizes of droplets. Simulation gave the limiting
droplet size when the single-velocity homogeneous flow model is valid,
i.e., the slip flow effect is insignificant.
