In present paper, a mathematical model based on the one dimensional nonlinear mass, momentum and energy conservation equations has been developed to study the density wave instability (DWI) in horizontal heater and horizontal cooler supercritical water natural circulation loop (HHHC-SCWNCL). The one dimensional nonlinear mass, momentum and energy conservation equations are discretized by using finite difference method (FDM). The numerical model is validated with the benchmark results (NOLSTA model). Numerical simulations are performed to find the threshold stability zone (TSZ) and draw the stability map for natural circulation loop. Further, effect of change in diameter and riser height on the density wave instability of SCWNCL has been investigated.
