- Summary:
- This report documents the Babcock and Wilcox (B&W) Annular Flow Distribution testing for the Savannah River Laboratory (SRL). The objective of the Annular Flow Distribution Test Program is to characterize the flow distribution between annular coolant channels for the Mark-22 fuel assembly with the bottom fitting insert (BFI) in place. Flow rate measurements for each annular channel were obtained by establishing ``hydraulic similarity`` between an instrumented fuel assembly with the BFI removed and a ``reference`` fuel assembly with the BFI installed. Empirical correlations of annular flow rates were generated for a range of boundary conditions.
