The OECD/NEA PSB-VVER project provided unique and useful experimental data for code validation from test facility. This facility represents the scaled-down layout of Russian-designed pressurized water reactor, namely, VVER-1000. Five experiments were executed, dealing with loss coolant scenarios (small, intermediate, large break accidents), a primary-to-secondary leak, parametric study (natural circulation test) aimed at characterizing VVER system reduced mass inventory conditions....
The horizontal steam generator (SG) is one of specific features Russian‐type pressurized water reactors (VVERs). main advantages are connected with low loads on evaporation surface, simple separation scheme and high circulation ratio. complex three‐dimensional steam‐water flows in the vessel influence significantly processes separation, distribution, deposition soluble nonsoluble impurities determine efficiency reliability operation. 3D code for simulation could be effective tool design...
The hydrodynamic and thermal interaction of water with the high-temperature melt a heavy metal was studied via Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method formulated for three immiscible phases (liquid melt, water, vapor), account phase changes. VOF relies on first-principle description interactions, including drag, heat transfer, evaporation, in contrast to multifluid models relying empirical correlations. verification model implemented OpenFOAM software performed by solving one- two-dimensional reference...
In the frame of Tacis Project R2.01/99, which was running from 2003 to 2005, bubble condenser system Kola NPP (unit 3) qualified at integral test facility BC V-213. Three LB LOCA tests, two MSLB and one SB were performed. The appropriate scenarios for V-213 facility, modeling accidents in unit 3, determined with pretest calculations. Analysis results has shown that calculated initial conditions properly reproduced tests. detailed posttest analysis tests performed aimed validate COCOSYS code...
Flash evaporation of a superheated water droplet in heavy liquid metal coolant (lead) is considered, application to the analysis lead-cooled fast reactor steam generator tube rupture accident. The model based on thermodynamic equilibrium formulation for expanding water-steam mixture and inviscid compressible surrounding lead, with interface conditions determined from solution Riemann problem. Numerical performed spherically symmetric geometry using conservative numerical scheme moving sharp...
