ENEA-IRIS Open Archive è l’archivio della produzione scientifica dell'ENEA, realizzato con l'obiettivo di raccogliere, catalogare e rendere facilmente accessibili in rete i risultati della ricerca. Gli autori dell’ENEA provvedono a depositare le proprie pubblicazioni (articoli su rivista, presentazioni a congressi, report, ecc.). In particolare, quelle finanziate dalla Commissione Europea nell’ambito del programma H2020 (che prevede il deposito obbligatorio in un Repository), una volta caricate, vengono automaticamente importate dal portale europeo OpenAIRE. È possibile inserire, o importare direttamente dalle banche dati previste, le informazioni descrittive del documento e anche allegare, ove consentito dalla normativa sul diritto d'autore, il testo completo della pubblicazione.

ENEA-IRIS Open Archive utilizza la piattaforma IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) sviluppata da CINECA.

This paper deals with the assessment of the latest version V1.4 of CATHARE 2, the thermal-hydraulic French system code, in an accident scenario characterized by low pressure and power. Such scenario is provided by a loss of Residual Heat Removal System (RHRS) test conducted in the BETHSY facility, which has already been the subject of the International Standard Problem 38 (ISP38). ENEA's participation in the open exercise ISP38 with the version V1.3 of CATHARE has made the comparison of the post-test results possible with the results of the previous code version. The result of the post-test analysis appears quite good, thus demonstrating the code is able to describe the most important phenomena characterizing the test quite correctly. Concerning the comparison with the previous CATHARE version some discrepancies about the distribution of mass inventory are overcome, while the difficulty in simulating the entrainment and temporary retention of water in the pressurizer and surge line is not completely solved.

Abstract

This paper deals with the assessment of the latest version V1.4 of CATHARE 2, the thermal-hydraulic French system code, in an accident scenario characterized by low pressure and power. Such scenario is provided by a loss of Residual Heat Removal System (RHRS) test conducted in the BETHSY facility, which has already been the subject of the International Standard Problem 38 (ISP38). ENEA's participation in the open exercise ISP38 with the version V1.3 of CATHARE has made the comparison of the post-test results possible with the results of the previous code version. The result of the post-test analysis appears quite good, thus demonstrating the code is able to describe the most important phenomena characterizing the test quite correctly. Concerning the comparison with the previous CATHARE version some discrepancies about the distribution of mass inventory are overcome, while the difficulty in simulating the entrainment and temporary retention of water in the pressurizer and surge line is not completely solved.
