Prediction of the Departure from Nucleate Boiling with CFD Code
Original language description
This paper presents an attempt to use multiphase CFD code for the prediction of the Departure from Nucleate Boiling (DNB) type of Critical Heat Flux (CHF). Numerical simulations of DNB in boiling flow in vertical tube were performed with the Ansys CFX 18 code. This code can simulate multiphase flow by solving three balance equations for each phase. Boiling on the heated wall was simulated with Kurul and Podowski model. A set of mathematical models of physical phenomena in boiling bubbly flow was selected and successfully tested on the DEBORA experiments with subcooled boiling flow. The same set of models was then used in the simulations of DNB cases. Simulated cases were based on data from the 2006 CHF look-up table by D. C. Groeneveld. It was found out that the local criterion for DNB prediction can be derived from the following parameters calculated with the CFD code on the wall: void fraction, wall superheating and wall shear stress. The proposed method of DNB detection was so far tested on 16 MPa pressure level on more than 60 cases covering a large range of parameters (mass flux 1000 - 8000 kg/m2/s and exit equilibrium quality -0.5 – 0) and it worked with +-10% accuracy in all solved cases apart from two cases with low mass flux where converged solution was not obtained.
