Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), chemical kinetics, and aerosol dynamics were combined to model the formation of uranyl fluoride particles from the hydrolysis of uranium hexafluoride gas. This chemical process has been studied for many decades, however, detailed measurements of aerosol formation have only become available in the past few years which provide a basis for model comparison. CFD simulations predicted complicated flow patterns in the impinging jet gas reactor. Aerosol formation simulations also predicted higher mass concentrations than were observed experimentally. This suggested that experimental data provided a partial representation which was subsequently enhanced by modeling and simulation.

UO2F2 颗粒在撞击射流反应器中的形成

计算流体动力学 (CFD)、化学动力学和气溶胶动力学相结合，模拟六氟化铀气体水解形成的氟化铀颗粒。这种化学过程已经被研究了几十年，然而，气溶胶形成的详细测量直到最近几年才可用，这为模型比较提供了基础。CFD 模拟预测了撞击射流气体反应器中复杂的流动模式。气溶胶形成模拟还预测了比实验观察到的更高的质量浓度。这表明实验数据提供了部分表示，随后通过建模和模拟得到了增强。
