Critical heat flux variation is predicted on the outer surface of CANDU calandria tube. A two-phase boundary layer flow driven by buoyancy is modeled on the surface. Different slip ratios and flow regimes are considered inside the boundary layer. Subcooling effects are added to the model using wall heat flux partitioning. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: One accident scenario in CANDU reactors that can challenge the integrity of the primary pressure bound- Received 20 April 2016 ary is a loss of coolant accident, referred to as critical break LOCA, in which the pressure tube (PT) can Received in revised form 12 February 2017 undergo thermal creep strain deformation and contact its calandria tube (CT).
