In this study, molten metal spreading into water is calculated using moving particle hydrodynamics (MPH) which is one of the particle methods. The spreading and solidification behavior of the molten metal is simulated and compared with the experiment, which is for predicting the fuel debris spreading in the primary containment vessel (PCV) in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (1F NPPs). The calculation and experiments were carried out with various water levels. To simulate the turbulence effect which enhances the heat transfer between the molten metal and water, large eddy simulation (LES) model was taken in the calculation. The solidification behaviors of the molten metal were expressed by the solid fraction-dependent viscosity model together with solving the energy equation. The solidification behavior depending on the water level was well reproduced by the introduction of the turbulence model.
