Résumé

A statistic-volume averaged two-fluid model, convenient for subchannel and system codes in nuclear industry, is established from RANS equations of Neptune_CFD code and leads to the appearance of subgrid terms. A database of simulations is made on experiments with flow representative of nuclear reactor cores with cylindrical (KIT) and subchannel (PSBT) configurations. The subgrid terms are then compared to the convection terms on the database of 82 test cases. Concerning momentum and energy equations, subgrid terms reach respectively 7.5% and 16% of convection terms. Overall, the comparison shows that dispersion terms are always greater than turbulence terms, but both remain in the same order of magnitude, and are not negligible compared to convection. Moreover, the geometry has an impact on the dispersion terms. This observation suggests that caution should be exercised when using correlation established on a different geometry.
