Validation of the containment code SIRIUS: Interpretation of an explosion experiment on a scale model
- 1. CEA, St.Paul-lez-Durance, France
Description
The explicit 2-D axisymmetric Lagrangian code SIRIUS, developed at the CEA/DRNR, Cadarache, deals with transient compressive flows in deformable primary tanks with more or less complex internal component geometries. This code has been subjected to a two-year intensive validation program on scale model experiments and a number of improvements have been incorporated. This paper presents a recent calculation of one of these experiments using the SIRIUS code, and the comparison with experimental results shows the encouraging possibilities of this Lagrangian code. 3 refs
