Numerical Study of the Turbulent Flow from a Steam Dumping Pressurizer Relief Tank

Numerical Study of the Turbulent Flow from a Steam Dumping Pressurizer Relief Tank

Due to the complex geometry and turbulent flow characteristics, it is hard to simulate the process of steam dumping of the pressurizer relief tank (PRT). In this study, we develop a compressible fluid solver PRTFOAM to numerically study the turbulent flow dynamics from a PRT. The PRTFOAM is implemen...
