Hydrodynamics of a natural circulation loop in a scaled-down steam drum-riser-downcomer assembly

•Experimental investigation of loop hydrodynamics in a scaled-down simulated AHWR.•Identification of flow regimes and transition analyzing conductance probe signal.•Downcomer flow maximizes with fully developed churn flow and lowest for bubbly flow.•Highest downcomer flow rate is achieved with ident...
