To study the characteristics of flow resistances in a stratified debris packed bed after severe accident in nuclear reactor
the paper reports an experimental study on the pressure drops of single-/two-phase flow through the vertically and hori-ontally stratified beds.Three types of particular beds were designed and constructed with different si-es of glass spheres.Type-1 bed is a homogeneous bed consisting of single si-e spheres.While Type-2 bed and Type-3 bed are stratified beds with the structure of hori-ontal stratification and vertical stratification
respectively.Both single- and two-phases flow tests were carried out
and the pressure drops were measured.The results showed that
for a hori-ontally stratified bed with larger particles atop and smaller particles down
the pressure drops in each part of hori-ontally stratified bed are almost the same as those of homogeneous bed packed with the same si-e spheres.It seems that the stratification has less effect on the pressure drops
