Abstract
In this paper, an improvement model for corium dispersion in direct containment heating (DCH) accidents has been proposed according to the mechanisms of the two-phase flow, In addition the momentum and mass equations have been solved through some special numerical approaches. On the basis of the model, the simulated code of the corium dispersion in the (DCH) reactor accident scenario has been developed. The final dispersion fraction and the droplet size in the reactor containment dome can be obtained using this code.
