Ap1000 Reactor

For AP1000 reactor, passive containment cooling system is a vital way to release heat to the environment, so an accurate prediction of distribution of temperature or density in large layered space plays an important role on the reactor optimization design and safety analysis. This paper investigates in comparing the results of different kinds of models in FLUENT with the experiment results in order to find out a more effective model and more suitable mesh number to simulate the mixing and stratification phenomenon. When LOCA or MSLB occurs in containment, the radius, position, and angle of the break can affect the containment mixing and thermal stratification. So this paper also studies the influence of height of the break and angle of the break on stratification with Fluent, and makes comparative analysis with the experiment results.

Production Target

In order to provide a theoretical basis for the thermal design of the neutron production target, flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied by using numerical simulations and experiments. A rectangular mini-channel experimental model consistent with the geometric shape of the heat dissipation structure of neutron production target was established, in which the aspect ratio and gap thickness of the test channel were 53.8:1 and 1.3 mm, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the critical Re of the mini-channel is between 3500 and 4000, and when Re reaches 21,000, Nu can reach 160. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data, and the numerical simulation method can be used for the variable structure optimization design of the target in the later stage. The relationship between the flow pressure drop of the target mini-channel and the aspect ratio and Re is obtained by numerical simulation. The maximum deviation between the correlation and the experimental value is 6%.

Owing to the lack of a good theory method to obtain the accurate equivalent elastic constants of hexagon honeycomb sandwich structure’s core, the paper analyzed mechanics performance of honeycomb sandwich structure’s core and deduced equivalent elastic constants of hexagon honeycomb sandwich structure’s core considering the wall plate expansion deformation’s effect of hexagonal cell. And also a typical satellite sandwich structure was chose as an application to analyze. The commercial finite element program ANSYS was employed to evaluate the mechanics property of hexagon honeycomb core. Numerical simulation analysis and theoretical calculation results show the formulas of equivalent elastic constants is correct and also research results of the paper provide theory basis for satellite cellular sandwich structure optimization design.

Based on the analysis of indirect air cooling system, a numerical simulation model of indirect air cooling system was constructed by ANSYS software. According to the different wind speed condition, the temperature characteristic of indirect air cooling system was analyzed. The simulation results show that with the increase of wind speed, the ventilation and heat release of the indirect air cooling system change greatly. It provides a theoretical basis for the design of the wind-proof device of indirect air cooling system.

Blast wave is numerical simulated based on FCT method. According to the comparative analysis, taking Henrych empirical formula as a standard, FCT method is more accuracy than Godunov method. Moreover, it has been found that the numerical accuracy is insufficient when the distance is small, it is necessary to develop and modify the numerical method continuously.

A radiator is one of the most important components in vehicular cooling system whose excellent fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics guarantees the engine operations. The calculation workload for performance simulation of a whole radiator is too huge due to its size. Experimental study is the conventional method to study radiator performance. This paper put forward a numerical simulation method and radiator heat transfer units were taken as study objects. Orthogonal experiment method was adopted to arrange multi-factor and multi-level calculation schemes. 23 samples with different fin parameters were simulated to investigate their thermal-hydraulic performances. Compared with experimental testing, this method greatly reduced sample manufacturing cost and testing cost, and offered data support for the effect factor study of radiator heat transfer units.
