Abstract

In nuclear power plant (NPP), particulate matter and gaseous pollutant release into the environment in severe accidents. To prevent from this disaster, filtered vented containment system (FVCS) containing venturi scrubber is being installed. The present work herein is the CFD simulation of throat pressure in venturi scrubber. A commercial software ANSYS CFX tool has been selected for this research. Euler-Euler regime is used to get the picture of behavior of fluid dynamics inside the venturi scrubber. Gas and liquid interact with each other in throat section of venturi scrubber. The pressure at the throat is one of the important factors to analyze the performance of venturi scrubber. In order to verify the results, mesh independency is checked. CFX and experimental results show good agreement with each other. The results obtained from CFX simulation are useful to improve the venturi design.
