ABSTRACT

Analysis of the UPTF Test No. 11 using the "best-estimate" computer code RELAPSv1OD3Nersion

5M5 is presented.

Test No. 11 was a quasi-steady state, separate effect test designed to investigate the conditions for

countercurrent flow of steam and saturated water in the hot leg of a PWR.

Without using the code's new countercurrent flow limitation (CCFL) model, RELAP5/MODN/V5M5

overestimated the mass flow rate of back down flowing water up to 35 % (1.5 MPa runs) and 43 %

(0.3 MPa runs). This is the most obvious difference to RELAPS/MOD2, which did not allow enough

countercurrent flow. From the point of view of performing plant calculations this is certa nly an

improvement, because the new junction-based CCFL option could be used to restrict the flows to a

flooding curve defined by a user-supplied correlation.

Very good agreement with the experimental data for 1.5 MPa - which are relevant for SBLOCA reflux

condensation conditions - could be obtained using the code's new CCFL option in the middle of the

inclined part (riser) of the hot leg. Using the same CCFL correlation for the simulation of 0.3 MPa test

series - typical for reflood conditions -, the code underestimated by 44 % the steam mass flow rate at

which complete liquid carry over occurs.

An unphysical result was received using a CCFL correlation of the Wallis type with the intercept C =

0.644 and the slope m = 0.8. The unphysical prediction is an indication of possible programming errors

in the CCFL model of the RELAPS/MOD3NSM5 computer code.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

During the boil-down phase of a small-break LOCA. an important source of cooling water to the core

may come from the steam which, having previously boiled off in the core, condenses in the steam

generator tubes and drains back down into the reactor vessel via the hot leg. The condensate and the

steam flow through the hot legs in coutercurrent; therefore, the possibility that steam flow could inhibit

the water back down flow is a potential concern regarding the reflux condensation cooling mode.

Test No. 11 conducted in the Upper Plenum Test Facility (UPTF) was a quasi-steady state, separate

effect test, designed to investigate the conditions for countercurrent flow of steam and saturated water

in the hot leg of a PWR. Analysis of the UPTF Test No. 11 using the 'best-estimate" computer code

RELAP5/MOD3Nersion 5M5 is presented in this report.

overestimated the mass flow rate of back down flowing water up to 35 % (1.5 MPa runs) and 43 %

Very good agreement with the experimental data for 1.5 MPa - which are relevant for SBLOCA reflux

condensation conditions - could be obtained using the code's new CCFL option at the junction situated

in the middle of the inclined part (riser) of the hot leg. The flooding correlation used was of the Wallis

type: (Jts) 1/

2 + m,(J*w)l/ 2 = C, where J*s and Jt w represents the Wallis parameters for steam and

water respectively. The parameter C (determining the steam mass flow rate at which complete liquid

carry over occurs) was set at 0.664; it was calculated using UPTF data for 1.5 MPa and riser's

hydraulic diameter (DH = 0.750 m). The slope m of the flooding curve was determined through

parameter studies. The data were matched best when using m=1. Using the same CCFL correlation

for the simulation of 0.3 MPa test series - typical for reflood conditions -, the code underestimated by

44 % the steam mass flow rate at which complete liquid carry over occurs.

An unphysical result was received using a CCFL correlation of the Wallis type with the intercept C =

0.644 and the slope m = 0.8. This is an indication of possible programming errors in the CCFL model.

1 INTRODUCTION

During the boil-down phase of a small-break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA), an important source

of cooling water to the core may come from the steam which, having previously boiled off in the core,

condenses in the steam generator tubes and drains back down into the reactor vessel via the hot leg

(reflux condensation cooling mode). The condensate and the steam flow through the hot legs in

coutercurrent; therefore, the possibility that steam flow could patialy or totaly Inhibit the water back

down flow - partial delivery or countercurrent flow limitation (CCFL) respectively - Is a potential

concern regarding the reflux condensation cooling mode.

Test No. 11 conducted in the Upper Plenum Test Facility (UPTF) in Germany was a quasi-stE ady

state, separate effect test involving the UPTF system with blocked pump simulators and broken hot

leg open to the containment simulator. The test was designed to investigate the conditions for

countercurrent flow of the steam coming from the core and saturated water in the hot leg of a

pressurized water reactor. Saturated water was fed into the inlet plenum of the UPTF water separator

simulating the steam generator in the broken loop hot leg and saturated steam at various flow-rates

was introduced via the core simulator system.

A steady flow test case that simulates specific PWR conditions was run to verify that there i.; no

countercurrent flow limitation in the hot leg for expected PWR conditions. A second main objective was

to study CCFL phenomena in a large pipe under hydraulic conditions related to SBLOCA (high

pressure) and reflood (low pressure). Tests that map out CCFL were run to determine the

countercurrent flow boundary. It was found that stable countercurrent flow existed at condi:ions

expected during the reflux condensation phase of a SBLOCA and that there was no countercurrent

flow limitation until the steam flow-rate was well above that seen during the reflux phase of typical

SBLOCA calculations.

The test provides valuable data for assessing the ability of advanced thermal-hydraulics codes to

model countercurrent flow limitation in much bigger pipes than those in which experiments had

previously been carried out. A number of codes have already been used to model the test, including

TRAC-PFi/MOD1 and MOD2 Ill, ATHLET /21, RELAPS/MOD2 /3,4/, the developmental version of

RELAP5/MOD3 (RELAPS/MOD2.5N4B1) /5/ as well as the final Nfrozen" version of RELAP5/M'DD3,
KWU E412/91/E1002 4

which differs from the earlier developmental version in the way in which the flow-regime and

interphase friction are determined in inclined pipes /6/.

The present study describes post-test calculations of the UPTF Test No. 11 performed with the

RELAP5/MOD3Nersion 5M5 computer code.

This report is organized as follows: Section 2 describes the experimental facility and section 3

describes the RELAP5 model used to simulate the experiments. In section 4 results from the

simulation are presented and discussed. Conclusions are presented in section 5.

2 FACILITY AND TEST DESCRIPTION

This section is largely taken from reference /7/. It is included here for completeness.

Primary concern of the UPTF test program is the overall 1:1 scale investigation of the threedimensional thermaihydraulic behavior of fluid in the reactor pressure vessel and primary s;ystem

during the last part of blowdown, the refill and the reflood phases of a postulated loss-of-coolant

accident (LOCA) in a pressurized water reactor (PWR).

The UPTF test program is one of the research activities being performed within the framework of the

Arrangement on Research Participation and Technical Exchange among the United States Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (USNRC), Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) and the Federal

Minister for Research and Technology (BMFT) of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in a

Coordinated Analytical and Experimental Study on the Thermalhydraulic Behavior of Emergency Core

Coolant (ECC) during the Refill and Reflood Phases of a LOCA in a PWR (the 2D/3D Agreement).

2.1 UPTF SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

UPTF is a full-scale model of a four-loop 1300 MWe pressurized water reactor including the reactor

vessel, downcomer, lower plenum, core simulation, upper plenum, loop simulation with steam

generator simulation. The thermalhydraulic feedback of the containment is simulated L'sing a

containment simulator. The flow diagram of the system and an isometrical view of the test facility are

shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2. The major dimensions of the test facility are given in Figure 2.3.

The test vessel, core barrel and internals are a full-size simulation of a PWR, with four full-scale hot

and cold legs simulating three intact loops and one broken loop.

In UPTF both cold and hot leg breaks can be investigated including emergency core coolant injection

into the intact and broken cold legs and/or hot legs and into the downcomer. The steam proc.uced in

the real core and the water entrained by this steam flow are simulated by steam and water injection

through the core simulator. •
KWU E412/91/E1002 6

The steam production on the primary side of the real intact loop steam generator is simulated by direct

steam injection into the steam generator simulators.

2.2 TEST OBJECTIVES FOR TEST No. 11

This test investigates steam/water flow phenomena in the hot leg during reflux condensation, which is

a cooling mode that may occur during a small-break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA). Reflux

condensation refers to the cooling mode in which steam is the continuous phase above the reactor

core and in the primary loops. Heat is transferred from the core by partial evaporation of the water in

the core and subsequent condensation of that steam in the steam generators. The condensate flows

in countercurrent to the steam through the hot legs back into the reactor vessel in so-called reflux

condenser mode. The possibility that steam flow could inhibit the water back flow because of

countercurrent flow limitation is a potential concern regarding this cooling mode (see Fig. 2.7).

A steady flow test case that simulates specific PWR conditions was run to verify that there is no

countercurrent flow limitation in the hot leg for expected PWR conditions. A second main objective was

to study CCFL phenomena in a large pipe under hydraulic conditions related to SBLOCA (high

pressure) and reflood (low pressure). Tests that map out CCFL were run to determine the

countercurrent flow boundary.

The UPTF can only be operated in a pressure range up to 1.8 MPa (261 psia), whereas PWR reflux

condensation would be expected to occur at pressures as high as 8 MPa (1160 psia). Since the actual

phenomena at high pressure cannot be tested directly, posttest analyzes will be required to apply the

test results to the higher pressures typical of PWR's. The test conditions were selected to produce the

"best simulation" of PWR conditions, considering the lower pressure of UPTF.

2.3 UPTF SYSTEM CONFIGURATION FOR TEST No. 11

The UPTF configuration for Test No. 11 is shown on Fig. 2.4. In this diagram the steam and wa*er flow

paths used in this test are indicated by thick lines.
KWU E412/91/E1002 7

- All vent valves were locked closed.

- All pump simulators were closed.

-All drainage systems were not activated.

- The valves (JEA 01-03 AA02) connecting the steam generator simulator secondary side to the

primary were open.

- The sparger (spray nozzle) was installed in the water separator JEA 04 BB01 (see Fig. 2.5).

- All valves of the ECC system were closed. The pressure in the ECC system was the same as the

pressure in the primary system to assure no leakage between primary system and ECC system.

- The core simulator water injection system was not activated.

- During the runs 030 to 034 the break valve JEC 05 AA001 was fully open and system ard

containment simulator pressure were constant at 0.3 MPa.

- During the runs 036 to 045 the break valve JEC 05 AA001 was partially open and the bypass valve

JEC 05 AA02 was used to control the primary system pressure to 1.5 MPa.

2.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST

Countercurrent flow in the hot leg was simulated by venting steam from the primary sy:;tem through

the UPTF broken loop hot leg to the containment simulator downstream from the water separator.

Simultaneously, a stream of saturated water was injected into the water separator iilet chamber

(Figure 2.8).

The test consisted of a series of flow conditions to map out the countercurrent flow curves at 0.3 and

1.5 MPa. The steam and water mass flow rates injected during this test are listed in Tablh 1.

In UPTF-RUN 037 (see Table 1) typical PWR reflux condensation mode fluid momentum fluxes were

applied. These fluid momentum fluxes were based on typical PWR reflux condensation mode mass

flow rates assuming three active steam generators. A pressure-scaling method that maintains PWR

fluid momentum fluxes was used to determine the UPTF mass flow rates for RUN 037. For details the

reader is referred to /8/.

The measured water level increase in the lower plenum of the test vessel was used to calculate the

mean downflowing water rate by means of the volume versus elevation calibration curve.

The upflowing water mass flow rate was separated by the cyclones and measurecd using the water

level outside the cyclones in the water separator. At higher injected steam mass flow rates a small part

of the upflowing water was carried out by the steam to the containment simulator. To check the water

mass balance the water level in the water separator was measured and no water was drained from the

water separator or from the lower plenum of the test vessel during the test.

The water mass collected outside the cyclones was determined using the volume versus elevation

calibration curve for the water separator.

The injection of saturated water into the inlet chamber of the broken hot leg water separator started

before the injection of steam into the core simulator (water first mode).

The water flow on the bottom of the hot leg before start of steam injection is clearly indicated by the

pipe flow meter data (see Fig. 2.6).

After starting the steam injection the water mass stored in the broken loop hot leg and ill the inlet

chamber of the water separator increases when relatively high steam mass flow rates are injected.

This water accumulation is typical for the onset of flooding or complete liquid carry-over.

The water and steam injection lasted at least 200 s when water downflow was observed. In case of no

water downflow the steam and water injection was stopped when the water level outside tho cyclones

reached the upper end of the cyclones.

The mean water downflow rate was determined for time periods when the injection rates were

constant and the accumulated water mass in the broken loop hot leg and water separator inlet

chamber reached a quasi-stationary maximum value (indicated by the DP-measurements JEC 04

CP009 and JEC 04 CLOO1 and the pipe flow meter data).

For test runs at 1.5 MPa test vessel pressure in the test vessel was controlled by opening and closing

the hot side break valve (as the maximum allowed pressure in the containment simulator was
KWU E412/91/E1002 10

0.6 MPa). This pressure control led to slow oscillations of the test vessel pressure in these test runs.

In test runs with a test vessel pressure of 0.3 MPa the hot leg break valve was open and the pressure

in the containment simulator controlled the test vessel pressure.

For each of the 16 test points the pipe flow meter fluid density and differential pressure measurements

in the broken loop hot leg are plotted versus time in reference /7/. These measurements indicate that

beyond the complete carry-over limit liquid was still present in the horizontal section, but it did not flow

out into the upper plenum.

2.5 TEST RESULTS AND FINDINGS

The injected mass flow rates and the measured mean water downflow rate rnw,d for quasi-stationary

conditions are listed in Table 1 for each test point. Using these data the following correlations between

the injected steam mass flow rate m~s and rnw,cd were plotted:

rns = f(rhw,d) see Fig. 2.9

Subscripts:

w = Water

s = Steam

w.d = Water downflow

The hydraulic diameter was set at be 4 times the minimum flow area divided by the circumference of

this flow area in the deflector nozzle region (see Fig. 2.11).

A mass balance method based on the water level measurement in the lower plenum of the test vessel

and in the water separator secondary side was used to determine the error bands for the calculated

mass flow rate mwd.

Relatively high uncertainties (e. g. for the 0.3 MPa data) were determined because a small part ot the

injected water was flowing via the steam injection holes into the inactive core simulator steam pipes

near the broken loop hot leg. This water was automatically drained during the test for safety reas:)ns.

That is why, for total water downflow, the water mass increase measured in the lower plenum was

about 15% smaller than the water injection rate. That is why for zero water upflow the water downflow

rate in Table 1 could be set equal to the water injection rate.

Figure 2.11 shows that the Wallis parameter seems to be the right method for pressure scaling of

countercurrent flow data in a PWR hot leg.

2.6 COMPARISON TO CCFL DATA OF SMALL-SCALE PWR MODEL HOT LEGS

Countercurrent flow tests in scaled PWR hot legs have been performed by Richter et al. /9/ (inner

diameter of hot leg D = 0.203 m) and Ohnuki /10/ (D = 0.026 m/0.051 m/0.076 m) for air-water flovi /9,

10/ and steam flow /10/.

Richter et al. and Ohnuki used the Wallis correlation

(,J*S) 1/2 + m -(Jw) 1/

2 = C(2) (2.2)
KWU E412/91/E1 002 112

to represent their experimental data.

Richter et al. used the constants m = 1 and C = 0.7. which were drawn from countercurrent flow data

in vertical pipes.

Ohnuki /10/ investigated the dependence of the parameters m and C on the geometry of the hot leg

using 19 different model hot legs in his tests. Ohnuki's correlation forthe parameter C is valid only for

inclination angles of the riser part of the hot leg up to 45", while the UPTF hot leg has an inclination

angle of 50". Therefore only an approximate value for parameter C can be calculated using Ohnuki's

correlation and the geometrical data of the UPTF hot leg (horizontal part: 7.146 m, riser part: 1.391 m,

diameter 0.75 m. C = 0.753). For Ohnuki's investigations the parameter m is 0.75.

As shown in Figure 2.11, the Wallis correlation with the parameters m and C according to Richter et al.

agrees fairly well with the UPTF data although there was no ECC injection pipe in the model hot leg of

Richter et al. and the inclination angle of the riser part was 45".

Deviations between the UPTF experimental data and the Ohnuki's correlation shown in Figure 2.11

are probably caused by the higher geometrical scaling factor.

Flooding in an elbow between a verticp! and a horizontal pipe was investigated by Krolewski /11/ and

Siddiqui et al. /12/ using air-water flow.

Krolewski used a tube with 50.8 mm inner diameter. The onset of flooding was taken as the point at

which the pressure drop across the test section increased sharply as t-e gas flow rate was gradually

increased. The data of Krolewski indicate a minimum Wallis parameter of about J*s = 0.25 for

complete liquid carry-cve, which is well below the Wallis parameter drawn for UPTF experiment.

The experiments of Siddiqui et al. were performed with an elbow shape consisting of tubes of inner

diameters 36.5 to 47 mm. It was observed that flooding is caused by unstable wave formation at the

hydraulic jump which forms in the lower pipe limb close to the bend. A minimum Wallis parameter of

A = 0.2 for complete liquid carry-over was measured which was largely independent of tube

diameter, bend radius and liquid supply rate. Beyond the complete carry-over limit liquid was still

present in the horizontal section, but it did not flow out of the gas inlet. This phenomenon could also be

observed in the UPTF-tests.

The comparison of data shown in Figure 2.11 indicates a strong effect of the inclination of the ri,,er

part on the CCFL-characteristics. That is why, care should be taken in extrapolating CqF-data for

PWR hot legs to higher inclination angles of the riser part.

3 CODE AND MODEL DESCRIPTION

3.1 CODE DESCRIPTION

The present study was performed with the RELAP5/MOD3Nersion 5M5 computer code. This is the

last official "frozen" version released within ICAP for code assessment calculations. The code is

implemented on a SIEMENS WS30-1000 computer operating under AEGIS and UNIX. The computer

is a 32-bit workstation with a PRISM risc processor; it is quite similar to Apollo Domain DN 10000

workstations.

With the exception of a correction for fixing an error concerning the restart capability the code had not

been modified. The MLIST in the installation procedure for 32-bit machines was completed by

variables FLOMPJ and STRGEO. For code compilation the *-save* option was invoked to force the

compiler to allocate static storage to all variables.

3.2 RELAP5 NODALISATION

Four RELAPS nodalisations have been developed for the simulation of UPTF Test No. 11. They are

depicted in Figures 3.1-3.4. Nodalisation no. 1 is similar to the one used in reference /3/ for the

assessment of RELAP5/MOD2 (see Fig. 3.1). In nodalisations 2, 3 and 4 single volume components

(SNGLVOL) have been introduced between source terms (e.g. steam-supply - TMDPVOL 100 +

TMDPJUN 105 - and water supply - TMDPVOL 450 + TMDPJUN 445) and connecting branches in

order to avoid possible RELAPS-errors evaluating the volume average velocity at the branch.

Nodalisations 2, 3 and 4 differ only in the number of control volumes modeling the hot leg. The hot leg

of nodalisation no. 2 consists of 6 control volumes (Fig. 3.2), whereas the hot leg in nodalisation no. 3

and 4 consist of 12 volumes and 9 volumes, respectively (Fig. 3.3 and 3.4). Nodalisation no. 4 seems

to be best suited for the simulation of the test.

Correspondingly, Nodalisation No. 4 is considered the basic nodalisation within the present study. It is

described in detail in this section.

The hot leg piping is modeled with two branch and two pipe components. Components 400 (branch)
KWU E412/91/E1002 15

and 401 (branch) simulate the pipe from the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) to the Hutze, while the

region at the Hutze itself is modeled by the pipe component 410 having 4 volumes of the same length

(4°0.9645 m). The first junction of the branch 401 (junction 401-01) connects the adjacent components

401 and 410. The region between Hutze and steam generator inlet is modeled with the pipe

component 420 consisting of 3 volumes. The first volume of this component simulates the hor:,ontal

part (length 1.251 m), the second and third volumes simulate the 50* inclined part - riser (length

2°0.834 m). The single junction (SNGLJUN) component 415 connects the pipe component 410 to the

pipe component 420.

The flow area of the pipe 410 simulating the Hutze region has 0.3974 m2, the corresponding hydraulic

diameter is 0.639 m. Junctions 401-01 and 415 have the same flow areas and hydraulic diametars as

the pipe 410.

The steam generator inlet plenum is modeled as one volume using the branch component 430. The

first junction of the branch 430 connects the pipe component 420 to the steam generator inlet plenum.

Above the steam generator inlet plenum two volumes are modeled: single volume component 600 and

branch component 610. These two volumes do not reflect the UPTF geometry. Nodalization studies

have shown, that connecting volume 430 directly to the time dependent volume 440 leads to

unrealistic carry-over of injected water into volume 440 (see reference /3/).

The steam injection is simulated by components 100, 105 and 200. The injection steam mass flow rate

is controled by the TMDPJUN 105. The steam coming from TMDPVOL 100 is injected through

SNGLVOL 200 into the hot leg (volume 400). Passing the hot leg and the steam generator inlet the

steam escapes via the volumes 600 and 610 into the time dependent volume 440. This volume

controls the system pressure.

The injecion of saturated water into the inlet chamber of the broken hot leg water separator is

simulated by components 450, 445 and 500. The water coming from TMDPVOL 450 is injected into

volume 430 through the SNGLVOL 500. The time dependent junction 445 controls the injected water

mass flow rate. The water flowing through the piping system can finally escape into the pipe

component 120 via the second junction of the branch 400.

The pipe component 120 represents the core simulator. Since the core simulator does not play an
KWU E412/91/E1 002 16

important role for the objectives of the UPTF Test No. 11 it is modeled in a simplified manner. The

water accumulated in component 120 is drained through the TMDPJUN 125 into the TMDPVOL 120

using a control system depending on the collapsed water level in the core simulator.

The RELAP5 input deck described above is enclosed in Appendix A.

Several calculations have been performed using a CCFL model. The CCFL correlation was applied in

the middle of the riser, i.e. for nodalisation no. 4 at the junction 420-02.

3.3 SIMULATION PROCEDURE AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

Both the 0.3 MPa and the 1.5 MPa UPTF 11 test series have been simulated with RELAP5/MOD3/

Version 5M5. Every series was simulated in a "through" run. The calculations followed the

experimental procedure of allowing the liquid flow to settle down into a steady state before starting or

increasing the steam injection.

Boundary conditions for the 1.5 MPa series: The simulated test rig was initially filled with pure

steam. There are no water or steam injections during the first 12 seconds of the simulation. At 12 s

water injection started and reached 9.8 kg/s within 0.5 s. At 45 s after simulation beginning, the steam

supply to the reactor vessel was ramped up from zero to 8.3 kg/s over a period of 5 seconds, and then

held steady for 200 seconds. These boundary conditions corespond to the UPTF1 1 run 37 (see Table

1). At 150 s the water supply was increased to 29.4 kg/s over 50 s and kept then constant for the rest

of the calculation time. The steam injection flow rate was gradually increased, in steps of 50 seconds

length and then held steady for 200 seconds. In this way, all UPTF 11 runs of the 1.5 MPa series (runs

36 - 45) have been simulated within a "through" RELAP5 calculation. The simulation was not limited to

the steam injection flow rates measured in the test. It was continued also for higher steam flow rates in

order to reach complete liquid carry over. The sequence of the simulation's boundary conditions for

the 1.5 MPa series is depicted in Figure 3.5.

Boundary conditions for the 0.3 MPa series: The simulated test rig was initially filled with pure

steam. There are no water or steam injections during the first 10 seconds of the simulation., At 10 s

water injection started and reached 30.5 kg/s within 2.5 s. It was then kept constant for the rest of the
KWU E412I91/E1002 17

calculation time. At 45 s after simulation beginning the steam supply to the reactor vessel was ramped

up from zero to 4.6 kg/s over a period of 5 seconds, and then held steady for 200 seconds. During the

simulation the steam injection flow rate was gradually increased, in steps of 50 seconds length and 4

then held steady for 200 seconds. In this way, all UPTF 11 runs of the 0.3 MPa series (runs 30 - 35)

have been simulated within a *through* RELAP5 calculation. The sequence of the simulation's

boundary conditions for the 0.3 MPa series is depicted in Figure 3.6.

4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

As already stated, several nodalisations were used for the post-test calculation of the UPTF Test No.

11. The calculations presented and discussed in section 4.1 and 4.2 were performed withthe basic

nodalisation (nodalisation no. 4 with 9 volumes hot leg model). The simulations were done in two

steps: the first one without using the flooding model (see section 4.1) and the second one by testing

various flooding correlations in the inclined part (riser) of the hot leg (see section 4.2). Results of

nodalisation studies are presented in section 4.3.

4.1 POST.TEST CALCULATIONS WITHOUT CCFL MODEL

Figures 4.2 and 4.1 show the flooding curves calculated by RELAPS/MOD3 with and without using a

CCFL model, respectively. In this section, only calculations without a CCFL model are discussed. The

evolution in time of various parameters and variables is included In Appendix B (simulation of the 1.5

MPa tests) and C (simulation of the 0.3 MPa tests).

The most obvious difference between RELAPS/MOD3 predictions and former calculations with

RELAP5/MOD2 (e.g. ref. /3/) is that RELAP5/MOD3 allowed too much countercurrent flow where

MOD2 did not allow enough. It means that new junction-based CCFL option could be used to restrict

the flows to a flooding curve defined by a user-supplied correlation. This is undoubtedly an

improvement from the point of view of performing plant calculations.

Another interesting point is that the code predicts qualitatively well the inclination of the water-steam

interface over the hot leg when stratified flow occurs. Fig. 17 in Appendix B shows the liquid fractions

VOIDF in volumes 400-01 (outlet of the core simulator), 410-01 (first volume of the hutze region), 410-

04 (last volume of the hutze region) and 420-01 (last horizontal part of the hot leg). It can be seen that

the water level is increasing from core outlet to the riser, especially during the partial delivery phase

(beginning at approx. 1950 s), when the water back-flow begins to be limited by the steam flow.

SImulation of the 1.5 MPe tests: The code calculates qualitatively well the countercurrent flow

limitation when the water down-flow is restricted by the steam flow. This is an improvement compared

to RELAP5/MOD2 calculations in which the transition from full liquid flow (total delivery) to complete
KWU E412/91/E1002 19

liquid carry over happened suddenly caused by a very small increase in steam flow. Quantitatively

seen. RELAPS/MOD3 overestimates the water back-flow by 15 to 35 %.

Complete liquid carry over is predicted in the RELAPS/MOD3 calculation at a steam mass low rate! of

46 kg/s, i.e. an overestimation of 15 % compared to experimental data (complete liquid carry over was

measured in UPTF Test No. 11, run 41 at a steam mass flow rate of 40.2 kg/s). The Wallis paramEoter

for steam at the carry over point (related to the Hutze hydraulic diameter DH = 0.639 m) was J*s =

0.50 in the test, whereas in the RELAP5/MOD3 calculation JXs = 0.57.

The code predicts over the whole range of steam mass flow rates - up to the complete liquid carry

over point - stratified flow in the horizontal part of the hot leg. For the Inclined part (riser) the 11ow

regime is annular mist through out the simulation since the void fraction exceeds the value of 0.75 In

this region (see Fig. 18 - 20 in Appendix B). The transition from slug to annular flow in vertical pipes

happens at a void fraction of 0.75 regardless of the gas velocity.

Simulation of the 0.3 MPa tests: At this pressure level RELAPS/MOD3 again overestimates the

water down-flow (code uncertainty up to 43 %). Compared with the calculations for 1.5 MPa, the

predictions for 0.3 MPa are - qualitatively seen - less accurate. The same behavior as in the former

RELAP5/MOD2 calculations can be observed: the transition from total water delivery to com,3lete

liquid carry over happens suddenly, caused once again by a very small increase in steam flow.

However complete liquid carry over was well predicted at a steam mass flow rate of 21.3 kg/s f20.5

kg/s in the test), The corresponding Wallis parameter for steam related to the hydraulic diameter of the

Hutze was J*s = 0.53 in the test whereas in the RELAPS/MOD3 calculation JXs = 0.54.

4.2 POST-TEST CALCULATIONS USING THE CCFL MODEL

Post-test calculations of the UPTF Test No. 11 were also done using the code's new CCFL option at

junction 420-02 (in the middle of the riser). Four Wallis type correlations have been used which differ

only by the slope m:

(Jl's)1/2 + 0.9.(J*w)1/2 = 0.644 (4.1) (J~s)1/2 + 1.0°(J'w)1/2 = 0.644 (4.2)
KWU E412/91/E1 002 20

(Js) 1/2+ 1.1o(J*w)1/ 2 = 0.644 (4.3)

(J*s)1/2 + O.8o(J*w)1/ 2 = 0.644 (4.4)

4

The parameter C = 0.644 - which is determining the steam mass flow rate at the complete liquid carry

over point - was calculated using the UPTF data for 1.5 MPa (complete liquid carry over at rhs = 40.2

kg/s) and riser's hydraulic diameter (DH = 0.750 m). The slope m of the flooding curve was varied

between 0.8 and 1.1 in order to analyze the sensitivity of the code.

Experimental and predicted flooding curves using the flooding correlation (4.1) are compared in Fig.

4.1. The good agreement with 1.5 MPa data is obvious. Complete liquid carry over is predicted in the

RELAP5/MOD3 calculation at the same steam mass flow rate as in the experiment: 40.2 kg/s. The

Wallis parameter for steam (related to the Hutze hydraulic diameter DH = 0.639 m) at the carry over

point was Xs = 0.50 in the test as well as in the RELAP5/MOD3 calculation.

However, the RELAP5/MOD3 prediction failed when using the same correlation for 0.3 MPa. In this

case, the code underpredicts the water down-flow and calculates complete liquid carry over at a steam

mass flow rate of 11.2 kg/s, which is 44 % lower than measured data. The predicted Wallis parameter

related to the Hutze hydraulic diameter is J*s = 0.29 (J*s = 0.53 in the experiment).

Predictions using the flooding correlations (4.1), (4.2) and (4.3) are compared against experimental

data in Fig. 4.3. When changing the parameter m from 0.9 to 1.1, the slope of the predicted flooding

curve was slightly modified. The slope can be further optimized through parameter studies until the

best fit with data is reached.

Code failure using the CCFL model: An unphysical result was received when simulating the 1.5

MPa test series (runs 36 - 45 of the UPTF Test No. 11) using the CCFL model (4.4) with the slope of

the flooding curve m = 0.8. Following the procedure described in Section 3.3 a quasi steady state

phase was reached between simulation time 2200 s and 2250 s; within 50 s the water and steam were

injected at constant mass flow rates of 29.4 kg/s and 36 kg/s, respectively (see Fig. 4.5). The mass

flow rate of the water flowing back through the hot leg was in this period of time approximately 2 kg/s,

i.e. the water back flow was limited and the code calculated the water velocity using the given flooding

curve (4.4). At 2250 s the mass flow rate of the injected steam started to increase and the water back

flow was more and more limited down to 0.3 kg/s at 2280 s. Then happened a sudden and unphysical
KWU E412/91/E1002 21

jump in the mass flow rate of the back down flowing water though the steam injection mass flow rate

was continuing to increase. At 2300 s the injected steam mass flow rate was 40.2 kg/s anc' the mass

flow rate of the countercurrent water 6.8 kg/s. Nevertheless, at this steam mass flow rate the

countercurrent flow should be limited to 0.0 as requested by the flooding correlatiop (4.4). Figure 4.6

compares experimental data against the predicted flooding curve in terms of water and staam mass

flow rates. The flooding curve that the code should approximately predict if it worked corre,."tly is also

indicated. A representation of the same calculation in terms of the Wallis parameters for slteam and

water at the Hutze is given in Fig. 4.7. Appendix D includes supplementary curves which give more

information about this case.

The unphysical prediction discussed above is an indication of possible programming er'ors in the

CCFL model of the RELAP5/MOD3/V5M5 computer code.

4.3 NODALISATION STUDIES

Simulations of UPTF Test No. 11 were performed using various nodalisations in order to quantify the

influence of the spatial .discretisation on calculational results. The results are compared against

experimental data in Fig. 4.4. The sensitivity of results to the use of the abrupt area chang a model at

the Hutze was also analyzed.

Spatial Discretisation

As noted above, four RELAP5 nodalisations have been developed for the simulation of UPTF Test No.

11. Nodalisation no. 1 is similar to the one used in reference /3/for the assessment of RELAP5/MOD2

(see Fig. 3.1). In nodalisations 2, 3 and 4 single volume components have been introduced between

source terms (e.g. steam-supply - TMDPVOL 100 + TMDPJUN 105 - and water supply - TMDPVOL

450 + TMDPJUN 445) and the connecting branches in order to avoid possible RELAP5-errors when

evaluating the volume average velocity at the branch. Nodalisations 2,3 and 4 differ only in the number

of control volumes modeling the hot leg. The hot leg of nodalisation no. 2 consists of 6 contiol volumes

(Fig. 3.2), whereas the hot leg in nodalisation no. 3 and 4 consists of 12 volumes and 9 volumes,

respectively (Fig. 3.3 and 3.4).
KWU E412191/E1002 22

Predictions with nodalisations no. 1 and 2 (both with 6 volumes hot legs) overestimate the water downflow through the hot leg more than the other two nodalisations (Fig. 4.4); too much countercurrent flow

is allowed. In both calculations a sudden transition from full liquid flow to very low flow occured, when

the steam flow was increased slightly over 40 - 41 kg/s. This behavior was not seen in tlhe experiment.

Calculations with nodalisations no. 3 and 4 (with 12 and 9 volumes hot legs, respectively) have shown

a better agreement with the experiment from the qualitative point of view. The sudden transition seen

before does not occur any more and the slope of predicted flooding curves is closer to the one of the

experimental curve. The water down-flow is still overestimated but not so much as when using only 6

volumes for the hot leg nodalisation.

When using 12 volumes for the hot leg (nodalisation no. 3) the predicted flooding curve ist the closest

to the experimental one. This nodalisation is, however, not recommendable since several volumes

have the ratio length to diameter L/D < 1.

Predictions for the 0.3 MPa tests were not very sensitive to the nodalisation used at least qualitatively.

In all calculations the same unrealstic jump from full liquid flow to complete liquid carry over was

observed.

Conclusion: A nodalisation with 9 volimes for the hot leg seems to be best suited for the simulation

of steam/water countercurrent flow in the hot leg of a PWR. This is the reason why nodalisation no. 4

was defined as the basic nodalisation for the present study.

Abrupt Area Change Model

A calculation was done using the abrupt area change option in the junction 401-01, which connects

the Hutze region (flow area 0.397 m2) with a normal pipe part (flow area 0.442 m2 ). None impact on

the calculation results has been observed with except of unsignificant differences in the amplitude of

pressure drop oscillations over the entire hot leg during the partial water delivery phase.
KWU E412191/E1002 23

5 CONCLUSIONS

Without using the code's new countercurrent flow limitation model, RELAP5/MOD3P/SM5

overestimated the mass flow rate of back down flowing water up to 35 % (1.5 MPa runs) and 43 %

(0.3 MPa runs). This is the most obvious difference to RELAP5/MOD2, which did not allow enough

countercurrent water flow. From the point of view of performing plant calculations this is certainly an

improvement because it means that the new junction-based CCFL option could be used to restrict the

flows to a flooding curve defined by a user-supplied correlation.

Without using the new CCFL model, RELAP5/MOD3 predicts complete liquid carry over at a s;team

mass flow rate of 46 kg/s within the 1.5 MPa simulation (40.2 kg/s in the experiment) and at 21.3 kg/s

for the 0.3 MPa simulation (20.5 kg/s in the experiment), respectively. The corresponding Wallis

parameters (related to the hydraulic diameter of the Hutze) for steam as predicted by RELAP5/IMOD3

are JAs = 0.57 for 1.5 MPa and J*s = 0.54 for 0.3 MPa. The Wallis parameters for steam calculated

from UPTF experimental data were J*s = 0.50 and J*s = 0.53 for 1.5 MPa and 0.3 MPa test s;eries,

respectively.

Very good agreement with the 1.5 MPa experimental data (which are relevant for SBLOCA-cond lions)

could be obtained using the code's new CCFL option at a junction situated in the middle of the inclined

part (riser) of the hot leg. The flooding correlation used was of the Wallis type: (J*s)1/2 + m.(J*w)l/ 2 =

C, where J*s and J*w represents the Wallis parameters for steam and water, respectively. The

parameter C (determining the steam mass flow rate at which complete liquid carry over occur;) was

set at 0.664; it was calculated using UPTF data for 1.5 MPa and risers hydraulic diameter (DH =

0.750 m). The slope m of the flooding curve was determined through parameter studies. Thi data

were matched best by using m=1.

Applying the flooding curve presented above complete liquid carry over is predicted by

RELAP5/MOD3 at the same steam mass flow rate as in the experiment: 40.2 kg/s. The Wallis

parameter for steam at the carry over point was J*s = 0.50 in the test as well as in the RELAP5/MOD3

calculation (related to the Hutze hydraulic diameter DH = 0.639 m).

Using the same CCFL correlation for the simulation of 0.3 MPa test series - typical for reflood

conditions -, RELAP5/MOD3 underestimated by 44 % the steam mass flow rate at which complete
KWU E412/91/El 002 24

liquid carry over occurs.

Nodalisation studies have shown that a hot leg model with 9 control volumes between reactor vessel

and steam generator inlet chamber is quite adequate for simulating steam/water countercurrent flow in

the hot leg during typical reflux condensation conditions.

Code failure using the CCFL model: An unphysical result was received when simulating the 1.5

MPa test series (runs 36 - 45 of the UPTF Test No. 11) using a CCFL correlation of the Wallis type

with the intercept C = 0.644 and the slope m = 0.8. The unphysical prediction is an indication of

possible programming errors in the CCFL model of the RELAP5/MOD3N5M5 computer code.

10. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES

11. ABSTRACT o a i9 or vA

Analysis of the UPTF Test No. 11 using the "best-estimate" computer code RELAP5 MOD3/Version 5m5 is

presented.

Test No.11 was a quasi-steady state, separate effect test designed to investigate the conditions for countercurrent

flow of steam and saturated water in the hot leg of a PWR1

An unphysical result was received using a CCFL correlation of the Wallis type with ihe intercept C = 0.6•4 and the

slope m = 0.8. The unphysical prediction is an indication of possible programming exmrs in the CCFL m Ddel of the

RELAP5/MOD3/V5m5 computer code.
