PARTICIPANT-PROVIDED COMPUTATION DETAILS – CFD CODES<br />

Discretisation?<br />

Unstructured, 10 000 000 control volumes.<br />

Turbulence model?<br />

Large Eddy Simulation (LES).<br />

Advection scheme?<br />

High resolution.<br />

Other assumptions, if any?<br />

Extended domain of solution to include part of the core.<br />

Have you performed mesh refinement analysis? If yes, what are your conclusions?<br />

Yes. Unstructured mesh with the above number of cells is found adequate.<br />

Have you compared the performance of different turbulence models? If yes, what are your conclusions?<br />

No.<br />

EREC (REMIX v. 1.0)<br />

Organisation name?<br />

Electrogorsk Research and Engineering Center, (EREC), Russia.<br />

Code?<br />

REMIX v. 1.0.<br />

Have you used plant specific geometry for the reactor vessel and internals?<br />

Yes.<br />

Discretisation?<br />

Unstructured mesh with hexahedral cells, body-fitted, 311 394 cells, 332 940 vertices. The domain of<br />

solution consists of the following regions: four inlet pipes, downcomer, elliptic bottom (equivalent<br />

porosity 0.2 in vertical direction and 0 in lateral directions), lower plenum (porosity 0.8), and core up to<br />

3 m elevation (porosity 0.526).<br />

Turbulence model?<br />

k-epsilon model with wall functions, lateral turbulent diffusion was suppressed in porous regions<br />

(perforated elliptical bottom, support columns in the lower plenum, core inlet).<br />

Advection scheme?<br />

Upwind.<br />

Other assumptions, if any?<br />

N/A<br />

Have you performed mesh refinement analysis? If yes, what are your conclusions?<br />

No.<br />

Have you compared the performance of different turbulence models? If yes, what are your conclusions?<br />

No.<br />
