Abstract
In the Westinghouse AP series steel containment vessel, the outer wall is cooled by spray and natural convection, while the internal vapor is allowed to condense on the inner wall. At this point, the containment dome becomes part of the condenser wall, and its curved structure can change the flow mode of the condensate water, thereby affecting the local condensation (heat exchange) capability of the wall. This article is based on the CFD program FLUENT and develops a UDF program suitable for the condensation of vapor with non-condensable gas. The influence of the wall tilt angle on the condensation characteristics of vapor with non-condensable gas is investigated and compared with experimental data from Xi'an Jiaotong University. The results show that the numerical simulation is in good agreement with the experimental results.
