An empirical reflood heat transfer correlation has been developed from the FLECHT reflood data for different axial power shapes and variable flooding rate conditions. This correlation consists of a separate quench correlation and a heat transfer coefficient correlation. The reflood correlation predicts both the quench front location and the heat transfer coefficient above the quench front. The reflood heat transfer correlation prediction is in good agreement with both the cosine and the skewed axial power shape FLECHT reflooding data as well as other rod bundle reflood data.
