Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Physical Properties of Liquid Lead, Bismuth and Lead-bismuth Eutectic (LBE) [PDF]

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2016
AbstractMolecular dynamics method was applied to simulate the physical properties of liquid metals: lead, bismuth and a binary alloy-- lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE). The embedded atom method (EAM), an empirical model rooted in density-functional theory, was used to represent the many-body interaction within the liquid metals.

Investigation of lead oxide particulate formation and dissolution in lead-bismuth eutectic rod-bundle flow channels

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering
Precise oxygen control in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic is essential for the safe and efficient operation of lead-cooled fast reactors. Insufficient oxygen accelerates the corrosion of structural materials, while excessive oxygen leads to the formation of

Visualization of Solidification Process in Lead-bismuth Eutectic

open access: yesPhysics Procedia, 2017
Abstract Pulsed neutron transmission spectroscopy was applied to clarify a phase change phenomena of lead-bismuth eutectics (LBE). The melting and solidification behaviors of the LBE should be well understood to enhance the safety of an LBE-cooled accelerator driven system.
