摘要
本文介绍了与核破冰船和核燃料浓缩厂 RITM 燃料盒不同设计封头出口处冷却剂流体力学特征有关的研究成果。根据流体力学相似性理论,在研究台上用空气工作介质对燃料盒出口部分模型进行了气压测量和对比注入实验。通过绘制燃料棒束出口处、各种设计的 FA 封头后面、泄放管前面以及上支撑板的轴向速度图,可以直观地看到冷却剂流的流体力学模式。通过对比注入法确定了冷却剂可流入泄放管的燃料棒束区域。研究结果表明,FA 封头设计对燃料棒束出口处和上支撑板前的轴向流动的异质性有影响。与核动力破冰船燃料盒头部相比,核动力破冰船燃料盒头部后方的冷却剂混合程度更高,这是因为从头部通道孔流出的水流不均匀。
Coolant hydrodynamic features at the outlet of a RITM SNPP fuel cassette
The paper presents the results of studies connected with the features of coolant hydrodynamics at the outlet of various design heads of a RITM fuel cassette for a nuclear icebreaker and an SNPP. Experiments were carried out using a research bench with an air working medium on a model of the fuel cassette outlet section by pneumometric and contrast injection methods based on the theory of hydrodynamic similarity. The hydrodynamic pattern of the coolant flow is visualized using cartograms of the axial velocity at the outlet of the fuel rod bundle, behind the FA heads of various designs, in front of the letdown pipe, as well as in the upper support plate. The determination of fuel rod bundle areas, where the coolant can flow into the letdown pipe, was carried out by the contrast injection method. The results of the studies establish the influence of the FA head design on the heterogeneity of the axial flow at the outlet of the fuel rod bundle and in front of the upper support plate. The more intensive mixing of the coolant behind the head of the fuel cassette of a nuclear icebreaker as compared to the head of the SNPP fuel cassette is due to the inhomogeneity of the flow leaving the passage holes of the heads.
