Impact angle is considered to be one of the main factors that influence the damage behavior of materials exposed to flowing lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) conditions in Gen IV LBE-cooled fast reactors, especially in the areas where the flow changes its direction sharply, such as sudden expansions or el...
