RELAP5-3D in the OECD-NEA HTGR Thermal Hydraulics Benchmark
- Idaho National Laboratory
The OECD-NEA HTGR Thermal Hydraulics benchmark uses data from the High Temperature Test Facility for a series of code-to-code and code-to-data exercises aimed at improving the state of knowledge on existing thermal hydraulics modeling and simulation tools for prismatic HTGR applications. This benchmark includes problems representing hot gas mixing in the lower plenum, the depressurized conduction cooldown accident and the pressurized conduction cooldown accident. This presentation discusses the benchmark and RELAP5-3D's role in that benchmark, including as a tool for predicting behavior in the core and as a tool for providing boundary conditions to computational fluid dynamics analysis in the lower plenum.
