CFD analysis of water vapor condensation in large containments: Numerical model, verification and validation

In the event of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), large quantities of water vapor and hydrogen might be released into the containment building. Increasing pressure and the risk of hydrogen deflagration can threaten the containment integrity. Water vapor condensa...
