Long-term material compatibility in heavy liquid metal (HLM) remains a challenge for the successful deployment of HLM-based technologies. Flow-accelerated corrosion and erosion (FACE) phenomena can lead to continual material deterioration, which needs to be considered throughout the reactor design stage. Nonetheless, known experimental data are inadequate to cover all the prototypical flow regimes during LFR's operation. Modelling of the FAC/FACE phenomena remains mostly in lumped parameter/subchannel scales, where the FAC model is coupled to the bulk flow of the pipe or subchannel. These methodologies might produce a sufficient prediction for the core internals; however, this might not be suitable for the pump impeller due to comparatively greater relative velocity and the occurrence of transient flow patterns near the rotating impeller. To establish an understanding of the connection between turbulence and FACE, the liquid lead-based Separate Effect Flow Accelerated Corrosion and Erosion (SEFACE) facility is currently under design at KTH in the framework of the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Research In Sweden (SUNRISE) project. SEFACE attempts to investigate FACE phenomena in the liquid lead and produce quantifiable validation data for model development. The paper divides itself into two parts. Part I refers to the study of operational conditions in SEFACE via Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) simulation, while Part II deals with the recent attempt on modelling time-dependent flow shear on rotating disks based on large eddy simulation (LES). The paper begins with a brief review of prior studies on flow-accelerated corrosion. Following that, the SEFACE facility's design concept is laid out considering several physical and operational constraints. A periodic wedge of the SEFACE test chamber is chosen to examine the facility's time-averaged behaviour. The k-ω shear stress transport (SST) model was employed for the simulations. The torque prediction on the rotating disk system is verified with the empirical frictional factor prediction. The latest hydrodynamic design enables SEFACE to be spun at 1200 revolutions per minute (corresponding to a maximum velocity of 21 m/s) without causing free surface deformation or excessive pressure. SEFACE permits the collecting of experimental data under the effect of various relative velocities in a single experiment round. The second part of the paper focuses on a recent attempt to determine the wall shear stress distribution on a rotating disk using wall-modelled large eddy simulation (WMLES S-Omega). The obtained amplitude and frequency of wall shear stress fluctuations will aid model development in future.
