In case of a core melt-down accident in a light water nuclear reactor, hydrogen is produced during reactor core degradation and released into the reactor building. In case of failure of in-vessel corium retention, a large amount of carbon monoxide (CO) in addition to H
and other gases may be produced during molten core concrete interaction (MCCI). This subsequently creates a combustion hazard. A local ignition of the combustible mixture may generate standing flames or initially slow propagating flames. Depending on geometry, mixture composition and turbulence level, the flame can accelerate or be quenched after a certain distance. The pressure and temperature loads generated by the combustion process may threaten the integrity of the containment building and safety equipment. The evaluation of such loads requires validated codes which can be used with a high level of confidence. Currently, turbulence and steam effect on flame propagation mechanisms are not well reproduced by combustion models usually implemented in safety tools and further model enhancement and validation are still needed. For this purpose and at the initiative of the SAMHYCO-NET project consortium and of the European Technical Safety Organization Network (ETSON), a benchmark on hydrogen combustion was organized with the goal to identify the current level of the computational tools in the area of hydrogen combustion simulation under conditions typical for safety considerations in a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). This benchmark is composed of four main steps with increasing difficulty starting from flame propagation in homogenous dry atmosphere and finishing with more representative conditions with (H/HO/O/N) stratified mixtures. In this paper, only experiments related to flame propagation in homogenous atmosphere are considered.

被引用回数：8 パーセンタイル：41.94(Thermodynamics)水素/空気予混合火炎の動的挙動の特性に及ぼす二酸化炭素と水蒸気の添加の影響を実験的に解明した。シュリーレン画像により、火炎面の凹凸が低い当量比で明瞭に観察された。火炎半径が大きくなると共に伝播速度は単調に増加し、火炎面の凹凸の形成に起因する火炎加速が生じた。不活性ガスの添加量を増やすと、特にCO添加の場合、伝播速度が低下した。さらに、マークスタインの長さと凹凸係数が減少した。これは、COまたはHOの添加が水素火炎の不安定な動きを促進したことを示してあり、拡散熱効果の強化が原因であると考えられる。水素火炎の動的挙動の特性に基づいて、火炎加速を含む伝播速度の数学モデルで使用されるパラメータが得られ、その後、さまざまな条件下での火炎伝播速度が予測された。

In the framework of the French MITHYGENE project, the new highly instrumented ENACCEF2 facility was built at the Institut de Combustion Aerothermique Reactivite et Environnement (ICARE) of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Orleans (France) to address the flame propagation in hydrogen combustion during a severe accident. The ENACCEF2 facility is a vertical tube of 7.65 m height and 0.23 m inner diameter. In the lower part of the tube, annular obstacles are installed to promote turbulent flame propagation. At the initiative of the MITHYGENE project consortium and the European Technical Safety Organisation Network (ETSON), a benchmark on hydrogen combustion was organised with the goal to identify the current level of the computational tools in the area of hydrogen combustion simulation under conditions typical for safety considerations for NPP. In the proposed paper, the simulation results obtained by participating organizations, using both Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and lumped-parameter computer codes, are compared to experimental results and analysed.
