Research on simulation of hydrogen diffusion behavior based on CONTHAC-3D code
An in-house code called CONTHAC-3D was developed to investigate the fundamental thermal–hydraulic phenomena occurred in the containment under severe accidents for NPPs. The code included specific models to simulate the special systems of HPR1000 and ACP100. The classical backward-facing step flow benchmark and BMC HYJET helium jet experiments were selected to investigate the code’s capability of simulating hydrogen diffusion process. The results showed that the difference between the calculated and experimental results could be negligible. The code was then applied to investigate hydrogen diffusion and distribution for HPR1000. The results showed that the hydrogen released from the break rises vertically and rapidly to the containment dome, then the gas diffused into the dome and lower compartments. As the time went by, the hydrogen concentration in lower compartments seemed to be higher than that in the containment dome. The results could provide foundation for the arrangement of hydrogen risk mitigation measures.
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.
