The heat transfer in higher power bundles was enhanced in large-scale reflood tests at Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. The heat transfer enhancement in the core under a radial power distribution is very important to quantify the safety margin in PWR-LOCA. In this study, we analyzed the physical mechanism by numerical simulations with a multi-dimensional two-fluid model code, REFLA/TRAC, using data from the large scale reflood test. The heat transfer enhancement is caused by the increase of local upward liquid velocity resulting from the formation of flow circulation in the core. The flow circulation is generated by a radial difference of waterhead below quench front under a radial power distribution. The upward liquid velocity depends on the bundle power and the cross flow resistance. The higher power and the smaller cross flow resistance give the higher upward liquid velocity, which increases the magnitude of the heat transfer enhancement. Through the present study, some guidelines were obtained for the multi-dimensional analyses to predict the heat transfer enhancement phenomenon with high accuracy.
