TL;DR: The use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for nuclear power plant safety analysis has been discussed in this article, where case studies of applications are discussed and lessons drawn.

TL;DR: The PANDA facility as mentioned in this paper is a large scale, multicompartmental thermal hydraulic facility suited for investigations related to the safety of current and advanced LWRs, and the applications cover integral containment response tests, component tests, primary system tests, and separate effect tests.

TL;DR: The PANDA facility has been used for the creation of an experimental database on basic containment phenomena e.g. gas mixing, transport, stratification, condensation, and plumes or jets as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the transient distribution of noncondensibles and their effect on the passive condenser performance in PANDA has been investigated in the presence of both heavier and lighter than steam noncondensible gases as well as a variety of asymmetric conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of the horizontal jet test series consisting of eight tests are summarized and the effect of these parameters variation on the test evolution with respect to jet impingement location in the vertical curved wall of one of the cylindrical PANDA containment vessels have been analyzed.
