Abstract
The main objective of this work is to evaluate the results of application of Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES) turbulence modeling approach to simulate the complex hydrogen safety problem. The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of the OECD/NEA HYMERES (HYdrogen Mitigation Experiments for Reactor Safety) HP2 series tests in the PANDA facility, aimed at studying the thermal effect of passive autocatalytic recombiner (PAR) operation on mixing the containment atmosphere, using CABARET-SC1 code. The code is based on the eddy resolving CABARET technique, which allows implicit modeling of the subgrid turbulence scales without using tuning parameters (ILES approximation). The natural convection flow inside the PAR model was calculated explicitly using a simplified model of the heating section and the housing. Good agreement of calculated transient with experimental data was obtained, which indicates the effectiveness of such approach.
