A description is presented of the «Poddon» test-bed designed to model the core catcher in a BN-800 reactor accident beyond design basis with core meltdown. The test bench was used for experiments where water served as a coolant. CFD simulation of the modeled thermal hydraulic processes was performed using STAR-CD software complex. CFD and experimental results comparison is provided. |
