Abstract
The optimal design of the flow distributor is very important to ensure the structural integrity of the reactor system and their safe operation during some transient or accident conditions. In the present study, we numerically investigated the performance of a flow distributor in tank with different shape factors such as the total number of the holes, the pitch-to-hole diameter ratios (p/d), the diameter of the hole and the area ratios. These data will contribute to a design of the flow distributor.
