Abstract

A CFD study of the IRIS Internal Pressurizer has been carried out in frame of a NERI project on Internal Pressurizer Characteristics to determine the heat transfer conditions between the pressurizer and primary circuit. FLUENT computer code has been used and a simplified two-phase model has been employed. Results are applicable for designing the pressurizer internal structures and components.
