Application of a CFD based containment model to different large-scale hydrogen distribution experiments

In order to confirm the general applicability of the containment model and model settings, more experimental tests have been analyzed. In this paper, the CFD containment model of NRG is further validated in the context of hydrogen distribution with experiments from the TOSQAN, THAI and PANDA facility. The selected experimental tests cover different processes and conditions typical for a severe accident. The CFD based containment model shows an overall good agreement with the experiments.
