CiADS带绕丝燃料棒束通道横流特性

CiADS次临界反应堆采用铅铋作为冷却剂,使用绕丝定位的闭式燃料组件。螺旋绕丝能够使流动工质发生横向交混,增强不同子通道间的动量交换。本工作使用ANSYS ICEM和STAR-CCM+软件划分了结构化网格和多面体网格,对CiADS燃料棒束通道横流特性进行研究,分析了结构化网格与非结构化网格对流动特性的影响。结果显示:相比于非结构化网格,结构化网格的子通道间横流量计算结果更接近LES的结果;结构化网格得到的摩擦因子系数与UCTD公式预测值最为接近,多面体网格的结果比经验公式的预测值小。同时,本研究对现有横流特性经验公式进行了改进,可更准确地预测带绕丝燃料棒束横流特性。上述研究成果提供了子通道程序优化的新思路,同时可为CiADS燃料组件热工水力设计与分析提供参考。     

铅基反应堆自然循环与应急余热排出研究

自然循环特性是铅基反应堆一回路的关键运行特性,对反应堆的非能动应急余热排出具有重要的影响,自然循环特性与余热排出能力是反应堆热工水力研究的重要内容。采用多孔介质方法,建立了CiADS铅基堆1/4三维计算模型,使用FLUENT程序对额定工况与低功率工况进行稳态计算。为了研究全厂断电事故下的余热排出过程,从热工水力的等效原则出发,尝试建立二维等效模型以提高瞬态计算效率。结果表明,CiADS铅基堆具备低功率自然循环运行能力和一定的事故容错能力;二维等效模型与三维模型计算结果吻合较好,可用于瞬态下的简化分析;CiADS铅基堆的非能动余热排出系统能够较好地应对全厂断电事故,反应堆具有良好的固有安全性。     

铅基反应堆燃料组件间隙横流周期性研究

燃料组件内冷却剂的横流对反应堆堆芯的换热有很大影响,为研究铅基反应堆燃料组件内冷却剂的横向速度分布,对CiADS反应堆燃料组件组件局部的7,19棒束的单螺距及多螺距多种几何进行建模和CFD（Computational Fluid Dynamics）模拟,并对其间隙内横向速度进行分析。研究表明: 19棒束组件内通道、角通道的相邻间隙内横向速度的分布在组件轴向和横向上有明显周期性,横向上根据两个内通道间隙平移旋转的位置关系由一个间隙的结果经过平移一定相位角度可以得到另一个间隙分布结果,沿轴向多螺距模型每个螺距长度内横向速度分布一致。7棒束组件在相同类型通道内横向速度分布大小及趋势与19棒束一致。少棒束单螺距组件结果进行横向及轴向的周期性延拓可以得到多棒束多螺距模型间隙内的横流分布。Cross flow of a coolant in fuel assembly had a great impact on the heat transfer of a reactor core. In order to study the characteristics of the cross flow in lead-based fast reactor assemblies, the CiADS fuel assemblies were used as research object. Fine geometric models and CFD simulation of 7 and 19 pin bundle and multi-pitch length assemblies based on CiADS fuel assemblies were carried out. The distribution of the cross flow velocity in several geometric models was compared and analyzed. The results show that the distribution of the cross flow velocity in gaps of interior and corner channel in 19 pin bundle has obvious periodicity in both axial and horizontal direction. In the horizontal direction, the results of one gap can be translated by a certain phase angle to obtain another gap distribution result according to the positional relationship of the translational rotations of the two internal channel gaps. The distribution of cross flow velocity is uniform in each pitch length of multi-pitch model in the axial direction. And the distribution of transverse flow in gaps of 7 pin bundle is similar to the distribution in the same kind of gaps in 19 pin bundle. The results of fewer pin bundle with single pitch length can be periodically extended in axial and transverse direction to obtain the characteristics of cross flow in geometric models with multi-pitch length and more rods.
