Abstract
This paper presents a study on the internal flow characteristics of reactor coolant pumps using Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) technology. As a core component of nuclear power plants, the internal flow characteristics of reactor coolant pumps play a crucial role in the performance and stability of the pumps. This paper initially introduces the application of DMD and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) methods in fluid mechanics, emphasizing the effectiveness of DMD in analyzing the dynamic characteristics of flow fields. A computational model of the reactor coolant pump was constructed, and numerical simulation of the internal flow field under non-uniform inflow conditions was conducted. The impact of the lower chamber of the steam generator on the pump’s inlet conditions was evaluated. The numerical simulation results were analyzed using DMD technology, extracting flow characteristics and revealing the main flow modes and dynamic behaviors in the flow field. The results demonstrate that the DMD technology can accurately capture the time-dynamic characteristics within the flow field, providing crucial insights for optimizing performance and preventing faults in the reactor coolant pump.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
