AbstractAbstract
[en] A CFD benchmark calculation for the test results was performed for 30 seconds to develop the methodology of numerical analysis for the thermal mixing between the steam and the subcooled water and to apply it into the APR1400 IRWST. In the CFD analysis, the grid model simulating the test facility was developed by the axisymmetric condition and the steam condensation phenomena by the direct contact was modelled by the steam condensation region model. Thermal mixing phenomenon was treated as an incompressible flow, a free surface flow, a turbulent flow, and a buoyancy flow. The comparison of the CFD results with the test data showed a good agreement as a whole, but a small temperature difference was locally found at some locations. The CFD results at some locations showed a higher temperature value and the increasing speed than those of the test results. This difference may have arisen from the fact the temperature and velocity of the calculated condensed water were higher than the real values. However, this CFD analysis methodology can surely simulate the thermal mixing behavior in the subcooled water tank with the minor limit. We can anticipate that the numerical model for the thermal mixing taking place for a long time in the IRWST of APR1400 can be developed by this methodology
