This study aimed at the foam problem of siphon well drainage in Binhai Nuclear Power Plant,and carried out numerical simulation analysis based on VOF model using CFD calcu-lation software.A three-dimensional numerical simulation was conducted on the internal flow field of the WES practical weir siphon well commonly used in nuclear power projects.The distribution of gas-liquid two-phase flow in the siphon well at different water levels was calculated,and the phenomena of water drop and water jump aeration in the siphon well were analyzed,providing ref-erence for the design of siphon wells in nuclear power plants.
