38 Work package 2.1: Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) Conclusions and Recommendations Clear benefits of a multi-scale analysis of thermal-hydraulic issues: condensation induced water hammer investigated by CFD (NURESIM) and 1D WAHA code coupled system code CFD simulation for ROSA Clear progress for two-phase PTS simulations with CFD NEPTUNE_CFD with URANS-LIM and TransAT with LEIS could simulate COSI test and several tests of Lim et al. including smooth interface and wavy interface but: pre-test simulation of steam-water TOPFLOW-PTS experiments showed clear deviations between the results obtained by different codes and models (no results with TransAT, since the data are proprietary and thus not shared with ASCOMP) Conclusions and Recommendations Further investigations are necessary to explain and minimize the inconsistencies between the codes and to identify the best models post test simulations on TOPFLOW-PTS steam-water experiments (now available) Turbulence modeling of interfacial turbulent flows should be further improved and validated for flows with wavy interface and condensation. 38

39 Work package 2.1: Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) Conclusions and Recommendations (cont.) The modeling of interfacial friction in case of the two-fluid URANS approach should be further improved especially for waves smaller than the grid size. Dedicated experimental data or DNS is needed to consider the influence of heat and mass transfer on friction and turbulence. Direct contact condensation approaches in TransAT (LEIS) and NEPTUNE_CFD (URANS with LIM) seem to be applicable for PTS, but validation against TOPFLOW-PTS steam-water experiments should be done as a next step. Benchmarking of different codes and models should be done since it provides valuable information on the strengths and weaknesses of the single approaches. Before reactor application for PTS simulation, it is recommended to validate a frozen version of a modelling approach at least on the following validation base: air-water Fabre et al. data, Lim et al. (1984), jet impingement data (Bonetto and Lahey, Iguchi experiments) and COSI tests. TOPFLOW-PTS and ROSA experiments should be added in the future. 39
