Abstract
To develop a thermal analysis method for the concrete cask, numerical calculation based on thermal hydraulic phenomena was performed. In the present calculation model, calculation area was divided into two parts. One is inside of the canister and the other is outside of the canister. These two parts were combined at the surface of the canister. In the model of the outside, k–ɛ turbulence model was adopted for air flow region. Comparing calculation results with test results, it was found that the analysis method was valid for normal and accident conditions of the storage.
