CFD simulations of stratified layer erosion in MiniPanda facility using the tailored CFD solver containmentFOAM

open access: yesInternational Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2021
Abstract Turbulent gas mixing in a buoyant flow with density gradient is an important physical mechanism in many applications ranging from industrial gaseous emissions into the atmosphere to nuclear reactor containment flows. With relevance to nuclear reactor safety, erosion of a stratified light gas layer by a momentum-driven or buoyancy-driven jet ...

Development of a LW-SMR dry containment model with containmentFOAM

open access: yes
In line with the growing interest in Europe for the deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), the Horizon Euratom SASPAM-SA Project launched in 2022 aims to investigate the applicability of the know-how for large-LWRs to water-cooled SMR (LW-SMR). More specifically, the project investigates potential Severe Accident (SA) sequences for two different “

Role of bulk condensation in buoyancy-driven gas flows: Insights from THAI HM2 experiment CFD simulations using containmentFOAM

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Design
Bulk condensation of steam within a nuclear containment vessel can significantly influence the evolution of pressure, temperature, and gas composition during post-accident transients. Depending on the accident sequence, it can occur at various stages, during which steam is released into the containment under near-saturation conditions.
