Sloshing dynamics of a molten core is one of the fundamental behaviors in core disruptive accidents of a liquid-metal cooled reactor. In addition, solid particle-liquid mixture comprising molten fuel, molten structure, refrozen fuel, solid fuel pellets, etc. could lead to damping of its flowing process in a disrupted core. The objective of the present study is to investigate the applicability of the finite volume particle method (FVP), which is one of the moving particle methods, to 3D motion of liquid sloshing processes measured in a series of experiments. In the first part of this study, a typical sloshing experiment of single liquid phase is simulated to verify the present 3D FVP method for sloshing characteristics that include free surface behaviors. Second, simulations of sloshing problems with solid particles are performed to validate the applicability of the FVP method to the 3D motion of solid particle-liquid mixture flows. Some good agreements between the simulation and its corresponding experiment demonstrate applicability of the present FVP method to 3D fluid dynamics of liquid sloshing flow with solid particles.

Understanding the freezing behavior of molten metal in flow channels is of importance for severe accident analysis of liquid metal reactors. In order to simulate its fundamental behavior, a 3D fluid dynamics code was developed using Finite Volume Particle (FVP) method, which is one of the moving particle methods. This method, which is fully Lagrangian particle method, assumes that each moving particle occupies certain volume. The governing equations that determine the phase change process are solved by discretizing its gradient and Laplacian terms with the moving particles. The motions of each particle and heat transfer between particles are calculated through interaction with its neighboring particles. A series of experiments for fundamental freezing behavior of molten metal during penetration on to a metal structure was also performed to provide data for the validation of the developed code. The comparison between simulation and experimental results indicates that the present 3D code using the FVP method can successfully reproduce the observed freezing process such as molten metal temperature profile, frozen molten metal shape and its penetration length on the metal structure.
