The models are used for pre- and post-test analysis of the PANDA H2P3 and H2P4 experiments. Approach for estimation of liquid velocity in SEF-POOL tests based on tracking of bubbles using stereo video imaging has been developed. Validated EHS/EMS models have been applied to modelling of a Nordic BWR.
Dynamic loads at low subcooling, the effect of the number injection holes, and flow visualization with stereo imaging were studied in the SEF-POOL facility. Four steam injection tests were performed. Noticeable differences were observed in the dependency of the force and its oscillations on the pool temperature for single- and three-hole spargers. Largest vibrations occur after the pool water temperature exceeds 90°C.
The pool stratification and mixing modelling capability of Apros were analysed for PPOOLEX tests using a denser “pseudo 2-D” 3-column nodalization. The new model clearly improved the simulation results with stronger stratification and, therefore, tended to attenuate the pool mixing compared. The promising model concept should be further studied simulating other experiments e.g. PANDA | | Keywords: | Steam Condensation, Pool Stratification, Mixing, Pressure Suppression Pool, Thermal Hydraulic, BWR, Containment, CFD, GOTHIC | | Publication date: | 30 Nov 2022 | | ISBN: | 978-87-7893-559-5 | | Number of downloads: | 494 | | Download: |  NKS-465.pdf |
