原子力機構ではVOF法に基づいた詳細熱流動解析手法を開発している。詳細解析において壁面からの沸騰を再現するには、ミクロスケールの気液挙動を考慮するがあり、膨大計算コストを必要とする。そこで、本研究では、計算コストを削減した簡易的な沸騰モデルを開発し、開発したモデルを用いてJUPITERで沸騰の再現解析を行い、実験から取得した気液挙動のデータと比較した結果を示す。

Japan Atomic Energy Agency is developing the computational fluid dynamics code, JUPITER, based on the volume of fluid (VOF) method to analyze detailed thermal-hydraulics in a reactor. The detailed numerical simulation of boiling from a heating surface needs a substantial computational cost to resolve the microscale thermal-hydraulic phenomena such as the bubble generation from a cavity and evaporation of a micro-layer. This study developed the simplified boiling model from the heating surface to reduce the computational cost, which will apply to the detailed simulation code based on the surface tracking method such as JUPITER. We applied the simplified boiling model to JUPITER, and compared the simulation results with the experimental data of the vertical heating surface in the forced convection. We confirmed the degree of their reproducibility, and the issues to be modified were extracted.
