COBRA-TF reflood model and analysis of FLECHT reflood experiments

  • 1. Battelle, Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA

Description

COBRA-TF, a two-fluid, three-field transient thermal hydraulic analysis code is being developed at PNL. To simulate bottom reflood tests, both a reflood entrainment model and a quench front model have been developed. Qualification of this model is underway and several FLECHT forced reflood tests (3 to 15 cm/sec reflood rate) have been simulated. Generally good data comparisons were achieved, though areas for further improvement were indicated
