The objective of this study was to perform a model analysis of the Hydraulic Core Mockup which would provide analytical criteria for model design and experiment. This objective was carried out by defining requirements for attaining adequate physical similarity of the FETF hydraulic core concerning hydraulics, mechanics and certain thermal aspects.nIt has been recommended that 1) the HCM facility should include a thermal mechanical studies model, and 2) a hydraulic studies model.
