Abstract

In the flow mechanism of unstably stratified field, occurs after Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Buoyancy-driven exchange flows were investigated the helium-air flow in the vertical narrow pathway between upper air chamber and lower helium chamber. Exchange flows may occur following the opening of a window for ventilation, when fire breaks out in a room, as well as when a pipe ruptures in a high temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor. The numerical analysis and experiment in this paper was carried out in a test chamber filled with helium and the flow was visualized using the smoke wire method. The flow behavior was recorded by a high-speed camera combined with a computer system. The image of the flow was transferred to digital data, and the flow velocity was measured by PTV and PIV software. The mass fraction in the test chamber was measured using electronic balance. The detected data was arranged by the densimetric Froude number of the exchange flow rate derived from the dimensional analysis. A method of mass increment was developed and applied to measure the exchange flow rate. As the result, it is revealed that three dimensional structure of counter current exchange flow in the narrow flow path such as rotation and circulation flows by the optical system, mass inclement method and numerical analysis of moving particle method as well as HSMAC method.
