Fragmentation of liquid metal takes place as basic processes of vapor explosions. This leads to rapid evaporation on the stretched interface. To date, a number of models explaining the fragmentation mechanisms have been proposed. However, few evidence has been obtained from the experiment because the phenomena are rapid. In Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method, grids are not necessary so that fluid fragmentation as well as multi-fluid thermal hydraulics can be analyzed. A numerical model of evaporation is developed for the present study. Impingement of water jets on a liquid metal pool is analyzed using the MPS method to investigate two typical models explaining the fragmentation mechanisms : Kim-Corradini and Ciccarelli-Frost models. Penetration of the water jet, which is assumed in Kim-Corradini model, is not observed in the calculation results. A filament of the liquid metal is observed between two water jets as assumed in Ciccarelli-Frost model. The filament appears when the jet density is smaller than the pool density, while the penetration appears when the jet density is hypotheticaly larger. The usual combinations of densities in vapor explosions are in the region of Ciccarelli-Frost model.
