This paper discusses the results obtained using one-dimensional and three-dimensional computational fluid-dynamic codes for the prediction of the dynamic behaviour observed in experiments carried out in a single-phase natural circulation apparatus. The loop is made of glass and is equipped with vertical and horizontal heaters and coolers that can be separately operated, thus obtaining different working configurations. An in-house program, capable of linear and non-linear stability analysis of one-dimensional loops, with arbitrary configurations of heat sources and sinks, and a transient thermal–hydraulics system code were adopted for the purpose of highlighting capabilities and limitations of one-dimensional models in predicting the involv...
