ACE-3D code analyses of multi-dimensional boiling flow in horizontal PCCS water pool

Onuki, Akira; Nakamura, Hideo  ; Anoda, Yoshinari; Obata, Hiroyuki*; Saishu, Sadanori*

A passive containment cooling system (PCCS) is under planning to use in a next-generation-type BWR for long-term cooling by condensing steam using horizontal heat exchangers. Heat transfer behavior in a secondary water pool is one of important phenomena governing heat removal performance of the PCCS. Boiling and condensation can be supposed under high heat flux regions and the two-phase natural circulation might enhance the heat transfer due to an increase of flow rate and a flow agitation. However, some heat transfer tubes might be covered only by steam and the heat transfer is degraded in such region (Steam-blanket effect). This study evaluated the characteristics of the heat transfer behavior in the secondary water pool by multi-dimensional two-fluid model code ACE-3D. It was found from the analyses that no any heat transfer tubes are covered only by steam and the heat transfer is enhanced due to the nucleate boiling and the increase of local liquid flow rate.
