DIAMOND Decommissioning, Immobilisation and Management of Nuclear Wastes for Disposal
Physical Modelling of an Impinging Jet on a Settled Bed
Problem Description
Legacy nuclear waste exist around various sites through out the world
Settling out of solid particles hinders attempts to process waste, activity may generate thermal hot spots leading to corrosion and equipment damage
Jet impingement used to re-suspend particles that form solid beds in storage ponds, tanks and silos
Re-suspension characteristics of particles never studied using appropriate simulants
Project will use experimental and numerical modelling to improve understanding and provide predictive capability for use in design, and optimisation of storage and processing arrangements
Timely given development of experimental rigs at NNL to study impinging flows of relevance to particle re-suspension in high level waste plants, and industry interest in the development of Sludge Packaging Plant No. 1, both of which use impinging jets, in the form of pulse jet mixers, for sludge mobilization

Comments
• Two layer shear flow phenomena noticed on jet impingement
• Qualitative understanding gained using Dye work and UDVP
• Jet Impingement is a complex 3d flow, parameters need to be optimized for different configurations.
Reynolds number, tracer particle concentration, UVP parameters
• Good quantitative data can be obtained in far field regions using UVP
• PIV to be used for near field mapping

• Particle Characterization Studies
• Move to multiphase jet impingement on settled beds
• Particle Size, Density, Solids Concentration, Fluid Viscosity,
Particle size distribution, Particle shape, Zeta Potential, pH,
Settling behaviour, Solids packing fraction, Yield stress
