Testing Methods for Calculating Particle Coagulation and Settling in an Aerosol Module

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Test results for models of particle coagulation and settling on a surface in an aerosol module in analytical tests and experiments are presented. A module is being developed for modeling the dynamics of polydisperse multicomponent aerosols in the first loop of VVER during a serious accident with emission of fission products from fuel elements into the coolant flow.
