Benchmarking of the 3d Cfd Code Gasflow Ii with Containment Thermal Hydraulic Tests from Hdr and Thai
نویسندگان
چکیده
A good understanding of the thermal hydraulic conditions resulting from steam-hydrogen releases in nuclear reactor containments is required for all aspects of accident management and for the design of mitigation measures. The GASFLOW II code has been developed at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK) for analysis of such scenarios. It solves the three dimensional compressible transient Navier Stokes equations. This contribution will report on new validations of GASFLOW II with blind and open post-test simulations of experiments that simulate such conditions in the new ThAI containment test facility and in the Heissdampfreaktor (HDR) in Germany.

Modelling and Validation of Catalytic Hydrogen Recombination in the 3d Cfd Code Gasflow Ii
During hypothetical core melt accidents steam and hydrogen can be released into the air filled containment of pressurized water reactors (PWR). Without counter measures flammable mixtures may form and cause combustion loads that could threaten the integrity of the containment. German PWR’s are now equipped with passive catalytic recombiners so called PARs (passive autocatalytic recombiners). Th...

The CFD code GASFLOW solves the time-dependent compressible Navier-Stokes Equations with multiple gas species. GASFLOW was developed for non nuclear and nuclear application. The major nuclear applications of GASFLOW are 3D analyses of steam/hydrogen distributions in complex PWR containment buildings to simulate scenarios of beyond design basis accidents. Validation of GASFLOW has been a continu...

Within the framework of the EU (European Union) project SARNET (Severe Accident Research Network), spray experiments were performed in the TOSQAN facility in France. The experiments, Test 101 (thermal hydraulic part, without He release) and Test 113 (dynamic part, with He release), were selected for benchmark calculation with different CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and LP (Lumped Parameter...

In the study, the thermal-hydraulic performance of the zigzag channels with circular cross-section was analyzed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The standard K-Ꜫ turbulent scalable wall functions were used for modeling. The wall temperature was assumed constant 353 K and water was used as the working fluid. The zigzag serpentine channels with bend angles of 5 - 45° were studied for turbul...
