Modelización de la zona de inundación del río Forcón-Barranca a su paso por San Miguel de Reinante

El presente proyecto muestra el estudio realizado para evaluar la capacidad de drenaje de la canalización construida en el río Forcón-Barranca, en la población de San Miguel de Reinante (Lugo), a consecuencia de las severas inundaciones acaecidas los días 9 y 10 de junio de 2010. Para evaluar y analizar la peligrosidad se ha seguido un método hidrometeorológico agregado, debido a la falta de aforos, pluviómetros y datos, y se han usado Modelos Digitales de Elevaciones como punto de partida. Todo ello ha llevado a la conclusión de la ineficacia del canal para un período de retorno de 500 años. ABSTRACT After severe flooding in San Miguel de Reinante (Lugo) the 9th and 10th June 2010, a concrete channel was built. This project assesses the drainage capacity of such channel, performing a flood hazard analysis. Because no flow measures or rain gauge data were available a lumped model was followed in order to evaluate flood hazard, using Digital Elevation Models as a starting point. This has led to the conclusion that the channel cannot effectively drain a flow after a rainfall with a return period of 500 years.

Development of a PWR-W and an AP1000® containment building 3D model with a CFD code for Best-Estimate Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis

The simulation of design basis accidents in a containment building is usually conducted with a lumped parameter model. The codes normally used by Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC) for that license analysis are WGOTHIC or COCO, which are suitable to provide an adequate estimation of the overall peak temperature and pressure of the containment. However, for the detailed study of the thermal-hydraulic behavior in every room and compartment of the containment building, it could be more convenient to model the containment with a more detailed 3D representation of the geometry of the whole building. The main objective of this project is to obtain a standard PWR Westinghouse as well as an AP1000® containment model for a CFD code to analyze the thermal-hydraulic detailed behavior during a design basis accident. In this paper the development and testing of both containment models is presented.
