Organization / Localization: CEA Country: France Test Identification: BALI SA-Related Topics / Phenomena:natural convection mechanisms in turbulent regimes representative of internally heated corium pools in the lower head Measured Parameters: hemispherical slice 1:1 geometry, water (+cellulose) was used as a simulant of oxidic corium, 1st campaign: different pool heights (1 .0, 1 .5, and 2 .0 m) and different volumetric power densities, 2nd campaign viscosity of pool increased by adding cellulose compound in water to obtain Pr number from 10 to 1000 Experimental Research Program: BALI
