The behaviour of a pressure suppression containment is studied experimentally and by performing CFD calculations. The experiments have been performed with the PPOOLEX test facility, which is a scaled-down two-compartment model of a pressure suppression containment of a BWR. In the experiments, vapour is blown into the drywell compartment initially filled with air. When the pressure increases, the mixture of air and vapour f lows through the vent pipe into the water pool of the wetwell compartment. CFD simulation of the first 100 seconds of the expe riment has been performed by using the EulerEuler two-phase model of FLUENT code. In the model, the gas phase consists of air and vapour species components. In wall condensation, the conde nsing water forms a film layer on the wall surface, which is modelled by mass transfer from th e gas phase to the liquid water phase in the near-wall grid cell. The heat transfer from the gas phase through the water film to the wall is resolved. The direct-contact condensation in the we twell is modelled with a heat transfer coefficient. The calculated temperature, pressure a nd wall-condensation are compared to the results of the PPOOLEX experiment.
