A series of so-called PREMIX experiments is being performed in which the mixing behaviour is investigated of a hot alumina melt which is discharged into water. The tests are part of a multi-lateral programme carried out in support of the licencing procedure of LWR. The programme, which aims at the safety of the reactor, includes relevant experiments and the numerical simulation by computer codes. The parameters of the 1st experimental series were: Melt masses of 10 and 20 kg, released through nozzles of 40 and 56 mm in diameter, resp., the type of melt discharge, a slender size of the water pool, and the degree of sub-cooling. The phenomena of mixing can well be described by means of both high speed and video films and a variety of measurem...
