9 Background Background and objectives of LIVE-CERAM experiment Design of refractory liners for core catchers and for protection of concrete walls (applications for LWRs and for LMFBRs). Development of model calculations for corium refractory material interaction Few data on corium-refractory material interaction No detailed transient data available for the corium-refractory material interaction for 2D geometry The objective is to simulate ablation process of a high-melting temperature refractory material by low-melting temperature corium KNO 3 as refractory material (melting temperature ~334 C) and a KNO 3 +NaNO 3 melt at, initially, the eutectic composition (melting temperature ~220 C) as corium Provide data for transient corium-refractory material interaction Evolution of boundary layer temperature during ablation transient Evolution of melt pool temperature during ablation transient 9

21 Overpressure Dp [bar] DETHYD: Detonation in partially confined layers of hydrogen-air mixtures Current state: (1) Ten detonation experiments are performed (2) Data processing is completed and report is issued Main results: The critical layer thickness for detonation propagation in a semi-open, uniform, stoichiometric hydrogen-air mixture is greater than approximately h* > 3 cm. This critical value corresponds to the ratio do detonation cell size λ as h* 3λ. The critical hydrogen concentration for steady-state detonation propagation in a stratified layer of H 2 -air mixture was measured of about 16.6 %. It also requires h*= cm of layer thickness or ~3-4 detonation cells across the layer.
