国際原子力総合技術センターで整備した高温ガス炉用の炉内核熱解析コードのサブモジュールを使用して、ヘリウム-空気対向流の流速分布と濃度分布を数値解析によって求め、以下の事項を実験結果と照合した。(1)準定常的な置換流が形成されるまでの時間,(2)流れのパターンと流路の傾斜角との関係,(3)上昇流と下降流の流速分布の発達過程,(4)上昇流及び下降流の流路幅及び流速分布と傾斜角との関係,(5)濃度分布と流路の傾斜角との関係,(6)正味流入流量と流路の傾斜角との関係その結果、流速分布及び正味流入流量について実験値と解析値は、両者が良い一致を示すことも確認した。

This paper deals with a computer simulation of a helium-air counter flow in a rectangular channel. The inclination angle is varied from 0(horizontal) to 90(vertical). Velocity profiles and concentration profiles are calculated with a computer program VSOP sub-module. Following main features of the counter flow are discussed. (1) Time required to establish a quasi-steady state counter flow. (2) The relationship between the inclination angle and the flow patterns of the counter flow (3) The developing process of velocity profiles and concentration profiles (4) The relationship between the inclination angle of the channel and the velocity profiles of upwards flow and the downwards flow (5) The relationship between the concentration profile and the inclination angle (6) The relationship between the net in-flow rate and the inclination angle We compared the computed velocity profile and the net in-flow rate with experimental data. A good agreement is obtained between the calculation and the experiment.
