Abstract
Aerosol retention inside narrow channels is the optimization direction of the leakage source term assessment for nuclear power plant containment. Based on the flow characteristics of carrier gas and the deposition characteristics of transported aerosol, a one-dimensional analysis method of aerosol retention in narrow channels is developed through considering different deposition mechanisms of inlet loss, gravity settlement, Brownian diffusion, turbulent deposition and steam condensation. The flow models of carrier gas and the retention models of aerosol are analyzed and verified, respectively. The flow of carrier gas deviates from laminar flow earlier through using the drag model of narrow channels. The prediction accuracy of aerosol penetration factor calculated by current analysis method in narrow channels is improved under laminar flow and turbulent flow through comparing with the previous calculation methods. Aerosol retention analysis is conducted on the narrow channels of steel containment under the typical severe accident. The turbulent deposition introduced by larger leakage channels increases the aerosols retention effect in narrow channels.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
