Hydrogen and Aerosol Behavior

About

The "Hydrogen and Aerosol Behavior" team investigates phenomena related to severe accidents in nuclear power plants that occur inside the containment and can endanger the integrity of the last barrier. Research topics include fluid dynamics within the containment, hydrogen mitigation measures, aerosol behavior and wall condensation. Unique test facilities up to technical scale are the basis for expertise that is in demand internationally through projects with scientific and industrial partners. In addition to gaining fundamental insights into the relevant phenomena, the experiments serve to develop, refine and validate numerical tools for evaluating severe accident scenarios and the efficiency of safety measures. The expertise in the field of hydrogen safety is also increasingly being used in the context of non-nuclear hydrogen technologies.

Research Topics

  • Hydrogen safety
  • Catalytic hydrogen recombiners
  • Aerosol behavior
  • Aerosol retention in water pools (Pool Scrubbing)
  • Wall condensation
