Test case dxxmyy: constant flow rate in a single loop, which represents the magnitude of natural circulation, equal to yy% of the nominal flow with a density difference of xx% between the loop and ECC water. Data in italics under mesh resolution: conditions used for validation among multiple conditions or conditions that were indicated to be suitable. Black circles mean applicable.
