This paper describes the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and validation works from the previous experimental study on the natural convection driven by outer surface cooling in the presence of density stratification consisting of air and helium (as a mimic gas of hydrogen). The experiment was conducted in the Containment InteGral effects Measurement Apparatus (CIGMA) facility at Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). The numerical simulation was carried out to analyze the detailed effect of the cooling region on the erosion of the helium stratification layer. The temporal and spatial evolution of the helium concentration and the gas temperature inside the containment vessel was predicted and validated against the experimental data. In addition, two stratification behaviors that depend on the cooling location were presented and discussed. The CFD simulation confirmed that an upper head cooling caused two counter-rotating vortexes in the helium-rich zone. Meanwhile, the upper half body cooling caused two counter-rotating vortexes in the helium-poor zone. These findings are important to understand the mechanism of the density stratification process driven by natural convection in the containment vessel.

It is essential to improve computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis accuracy to estimate thermal flow in a containment vessel during a severe accident. Previous studies pointed out the importance of the influence of initial and boundary conditions on the CFD analysis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of initial and boundary conditions by numerical analysis of natural convection experiments in a large containment vessel test facility CIGMA(Containment InteGral effects Measurement Apparatus). A density stratification layer was initially formed in the vessel using helium and air, and external cooling of the vessel surface-induced natural convection. In this study, we carried out numerical simulations of the density stratification erosion driven by the natural convection using the RANS (Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) model. As a result, the temperature boundary condition of the small internal structure in the vessel had a significant influence on the fluid temperature distribution in the vessel. The erosion velocity of the density stratification layer changed depending on the initial gas concentration distribution. Then, appropriate settings of the temperature and gas concentration conditions are necessary for accurate analysis.

This paper describes an experimental investigation of natural convection driven by outer surface cooling in the presence of density stratification consisting of an air-helium gas mixture (as mimic gas of hydrogen) in an enclosed vessel. The unique cooling system of the Containment InteGral effects Measurement Apparatus (whose test vessel is a cylinder with 2.5-m diameter and 11-m height) is used, and findings reveal that the cooling location relative to the stratification plays an important role in determining the interaction behavior of the heat and mass transfer in the enclosed vessel. When the cooling region is narrower than the stratification thickness, the density-stratified region expands to the lower part while decreasing in concentration (stratification dissolution). When the cooling region is wider than the stratification thickness, the stratification is gradually eroded from the bottom with decreasing layer thickness (stratification breakup). This knowledge is useful for understanding the interaction behavior of heat and mass transfer during severe accidents in nuclear power plants.

In the case of a severe accident, natural convection plays an important role in the atmosphere mixing of nuclear reactor containments. In this case, the natural convection might not in the steady-state condition. Hence, instead of steady-state simulation, the transient simulation should be performed to understand natural convection in the accident scenario within a nuclear reactor containment. The present study, therefore, was aimed at the transient 3-D numerical simulations of natural convection of air around a cylindrical containment with unsteady thermal boundary conditions (BCs) at the vessel wall. For this purpose, the experiment series was done in the CIGMA facility at Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). A 3-D model was simulated with OpenFOAM, applying the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (URANS) model. Different turbulence models were studied, such as the standard k-$$varepsilon$$, standard k-$$omega$$, k-$$omega$$ shear stress transport (SST), and low-Reynolds-k-$$varepsilon$$ Launder-Sharma. The results of the four turbulence models were compared versus the results of experimental data.

CFD analysis of the CIGMA experiments on the heated JET injection into containment vessel with external surface cooling

The present study introduces thermal mixing and stratification produced by heated air jet located at the bottom level of the containment vessel. The investigation was carried out experimentally and numerically in the large containment vessel called CIGMA (Containment InteGral effects Measurement Apparatus). The experiments were conducted with external surface cooling and various air jet inlet temperatures. The containment cooling was done by flooding the water on the external side of half-upper of a vessel. To identify their influence on the thermal mixing and stratification phenomena, the investigation focuses on mixing convection which occurred in the cooled region of a containment vessel. Temperature distribution and jet velocity were measured by thermocouple and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) respectively. Numerical simulation was performed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code OpenFOAM to investigate the detail effects of external cooling on the fluid flow and thermal characteristics in the test vessel. CFD results showed a good agreement with experimental data on both temperature and velocity. Both temperature and velocity of hot air jet decayed rapidly downstream jet nozzle. Thermal stratification was observed by visualization of temperature contour maps over a cross-section in the containment vessel. Vigorous mixing was also noticed in the upper region of the containment vessel. Effect of external cooling on mixing and the thermal stratification were presented and discussed.

Gas density stratification build-up and its propagation/erosion, which is regarded as a benchmark of hydrogen behavior in a severe accident, were experimentally and numerically studied by using buoyant jet in the containment vessel. The experiments were conducted with external surface cooling and high-temperature air-jet inlet up to 435 degrees Celcius. The CFD simulation was also performed, and the data on temperature and velocity profile were used for the validation.

シビアアクシデント時の格納容器内の熱流動を解析する上でCFD解析の高度化は重要な課題である。また、CFD解析に対して初期・境界条件の不確かさの影響の重要性が指摘されている。本研究では、大型格納容器実験装置CIGMAを用いた外面冷却実験をCFD解析し、実験の初期条件および境界条件の影響を評価した。実験では、ヘリウムおよび空気による密度成層を容器頂部に形成し、容器外面冷却により自然対流を発生させて成層の混合挙動を観察した。本過程に対してRANSモデルを用いた数値解析を行った結果、比較的小規模な構造物においてもその熱容量が無視できないことが示され、構造物温度境界条件が自然循環挙動に大きな影響を及ぼすことが明らかになった。

Numerical simulation on the effect of thermal radiation in the atmosphere mixing inside the CIGMA containment vessel

Hamdani, A.

no journal, , 

During a postulated accident, the containment thermal-hydraulics phenomena will necessarily include radiation heat transfer since it has a significant role in the buoyancy-driven flow for large facilities. In this study, a numerical computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation was carried out with a radiation model and different parameters on the component of three gases, i.e., helium, air, and steam. The numerical simulation was performed using open source CFD code OpenFOAM. A fvDOM radiation model was implemented in the present simulation. At first, to achieve a significant temperature difference, very low humidity must be initiated in the initial condition. In this case, the steam content was set to 0.1 percent, and helium stratification was initiated with a molar fraction of 5 percent. The initial temperature and pressure were set to 30$$^{circ}$$C and 1 atm. A transient simulation was started by injecting pure helium through a nozzle from the top vessel with a mass flow rate 5.6 g/s. The numerical results with the radiation model showed reasonable agreement with the experiment data. The preliminary results indicate that thermal radiation should be considered even though the steam content inside the containment vessel is low.
