Three-dimensional Fast Flux Test Facility plenum model turbulent flow prediction and data comparison

  • 1. Battelle, Pac Northwest Lab, Richland, Wash

Description

Two- and three-dimensional numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a scaled Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) upper plenum model were performed using the TEMPEST hydrothermal code. A model was used to describe turbulence through an effective viscosity. Comparisons with previously reported mean velocity and turbulence field data measured in the plenum model and two-dimensional numerical simulations using the TEACH code were made. 7 refs
