TRACE/PARCS Calculations of Exercises 1 and 2 of the V1000CT-2 Benchmark

چکیده
Exercises 1 and 2 of the VVER-1000 Coolant Transient Benchmark Phase 2 (V1000CT-2) are investigated using coupled three-dimensional (3-D) neutron kinetics/thermal-hydraulics code TRACE/PARCS. Two coarse mesh 3-D thermal-hydraulic models (with six angular sectors and with eighteen angular sectors) were developed for the system code TRACE for Exercise 1 and their applicability is evaluated using the test data provided in the benchmark specification. The six sector model is then coupled with the PARCS 3-D neutron kinetics model in order to analyze Exercise 2 of the benchmark. The results show that TRACE code is accurate enough to simulate the flow mixing occurring in the downcomer of the VVER-1000 reactor.

Simulation of the OECD NEA Kalinin-3 benchmark (phase 2) by the ATHLET-KIKO3D code system
As a logical continuation of the former benchmark activity of AER devoted to the VVER reactor physics [1-3], now there is a rather large interest of the Kalinin-3 benchmark recently completed and published by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) [4]. The goals of these exercises were the evaluation of the prediction capability of ad...
متن کاملThe Analysis of TRACE/PARCS in the Simulation of Ultimate Response Guideline for Lungmen ABWR
In this research, the TRACE/PARCS model of Lungmen ABWR has been developed for verification of ultimate response guideline (URG) efficiency. This ultimate measure was named as DIVing plan, abbreviated from system depressurization, water injection and containment venting. The simulation initial condition is 100% rated power/100% rated core flow. This research focuses on the estimation of the tim...

Biglar Permo-Triassic bauxite deposit is located in ~15 km northwest of Abgarm, southwest of Ghazvin province, west of central Iran. It consists of 8 stratiform and discontinuous bauxite lenses lying along the contact of Ruteh (Permian) and Elika (Triassic) carbonate formations. Petrographically, the bauxite ores exhibit collomorphic-fluidal, pseudo-breccia, pseudo-porphyritic, panidio-morphic-...
