Description
STARDUST-U facility is an experimental facility voted to help the scientific community to better understand the problem of dust re-suspension and mobilization in case of Loss Of Vacuum Accidents (LOVAs) or Loss Of Coolant Accidents (LOCAs) inside the next generation fusion reactors like the International Thermonuclear Reactor (ITER) or the Demonstration Power Plant (DEMO).In this work the authors will test the capability of STARDUST-U with two experimental set-ups. In the first one, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique will be used, while in the second one a Shadowgraph technique will be implemented.The results of the experimental campaign will be elaborated with custom software developed in LabVIEW and will be critically analyzed by the authors. These results are fundamental to give the boundary conditions for the numerical simulations in order to develop and validate a multi-phase model to predict dust re-suspension in an enclosed environment.
