Summary:A SWIRLER, STEAM SEPARATOR INCLUDING THE SWIRLER, ANDNUCLEAR BOILING WATER REACTOR INCLUDING THE SAMEABSTRACTIn one embodiment, the steam separator includes a standpipe configured to receive a gas-liquid two-phase flow stream, and a first swirler configured to receive the gas-liquid two-phase flow stream from the standpipe. The first swirler is configured to separate the gas-liquid two-phase flow stream. The first swirler includes a direct flow portion and an indirect flow portion. The direct flow portion has a direct flow channel for permitting direct flow of the gas-liquid two-phase flow stream through the first swirler, and the indirect flow portion has at least one indirect flow channel defined by at least one vane in the first swirler for providing an indirect flow of the gasliquid two-phase flow stream through the first swirler.
