Abstract

This chapter addresses the stability behavior of closed diabatic loops. The focus is on the prediction of stability boundaries for both single-phase and two-phase systems with minimum numerical distortion. As a means to check the performance of numerical schemes, several analytical solutions using method of characteristics have been evolved. These are then used to demonstrate the superiority of the characteristics based numerical method that is evolved systematically. Once the power is demonstrated, stability boundary is evolved for both single phase and two phase natural circulation in a closed rectangular loop. The method is demonstrated to satisfactorily predict the linear stability results obtained in single phase and experimental data generated in a two phase system.
