MULTIForm - NNUF

MULTIForm will enable researchers to understand the turbulence, heat transfer characteristics and the impact of gas injection on liquid mobility in bubbly reactor flows, and critically, future salt reactors. Our facility will provide top-of-the-range instrumentation for high-fidelity validation of computational fluid dynamics models in order to predict performances in a variety of nuclear reactors, transportation or separation units. The MULTIForm Users Facility consists of 3 major components: 1. A bank of high precision, state-of-the-art, instruments for measuring a wide range of fluid flow properties. 2. The Water Loop; A pilot scale test bed, based on a water flow system [pressure (≤5atm), temperature (≤100°C)]. 3. The Molten Salt Loop; A pilot scale test bed, based on a molten chloride flow system [pressure (≤5atm), temperature (≤600°C)]. Both test beds will be reconfigurable to incorporate new specialist instrumentation for fluid flow measurements and/or used to develop new instruments and equipment for future research.
