[摘要] Following the Fukushima disaster in Japan in March 2011, a number of questions and doubts about the safety of nuclear reactors have been raised globally and many nations have begun revising and improving the nuclear installations. Natural circulation plays a major role in nuclear accident. This significance of the natural circulation-based systems led us to study the natural circulation phenomena for better understanding and in order to ensure the safety and efficiency of natural circulation systems.
