Assessment of Cfd Codes Used in Nuclear Reactor Safety Simulations
The spectacular growth in computer hardware over the last quarter century and the accompanying advances in software development have resulted in the availability of reliable numerical tools for addressing safety issues in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). The first step forward was undertaken in the 1970s with the development of system codes using the two-fluid model approach [1], such as RELAP-5 [2...
متن کاملOn the Importance of Validation When Using Commercial Cfd Codes in Nuclear Reactor Safety
In this validation work two turbulence models (k-ε and SST model) and two grids (a finer hybrid grid and a tetrahedral coarser grid) are considered in order to model helium release and dispersion. Simulation results are compared against an experiment of jet release phenomena in the Battelle Model Containment facility (BMC), a multi-compartment facility with a total volume of about 560 m. In the...
متن کاملSafety Aspects of Nuclear Reactor Control
Reactor control and safety systems are discussed with emphasis on safety considerations. Consideration is given to the importance of reactor characteristics, control and safety system characteristics, the operational program of the reactor, and credible accidents, in a determination of safety of operation. Ecperience with research reactor control and safety systems has led to the development of...
متن کاملAssessment of Weighting Functions Used in Oppermann Codes in Polyphase Pulse Compression Radars
Polyphase is a common class of pulse compression waveforms in the radar systems. Oppermann code is one of the used codes with polyphone pattern. After compression, this code has little tolerant against Doppler shift in addition to its high side lobe level. This indicates that the use of Oppermann code is an unsuitable scheme to radars applications. This paper shows that the use of amplitude wei...
متن کاملA Simple Interface to Cfd Codes for Building Environment Simulations
It is becoming a popular practice for architects and HVAC engineers to simulate airflows in and around buildings by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods in order to predict indoor and outdoor environments . However, many CFD programs are crippled by a historically poor and inefficient user interface system, particularly for users with little training in numerical simulation. This investig...
