SESAME - Contract Number: 654935 Deliverable D3.4 CIRCLE experiment: CFD model validation

This document describes the post-test CFD modeling of the CIRCE experimetal pool-type loop working with LBE, in configuration ICE and a combined analysis of the numerical results and the experimental results from the ENEA data-base. This document comes as a complement to the deliverable D3.2 "CIRCE experiments: pre-test, data-set and analysis" by ENEA with pre-test contributions from CRS4 and NRG. The initial discrepancies between the numerical and experimental results are analyzed and corrective actions are taken to improve the numerical modeling. Additional information is also extracted from the database, allowing a better understanding of the CIRCE behavior.The upgraded models are then operated and show a better agreement with the experiment.
