Numerical simulation of impurity particles migration and deposition within the 5 × 5 fuel assembly under nucleate boiling conditions
Deposition of corrosion products on the cladding surface can cause many problems in PWRs, such as CRUD-induced power shift, localized corrosion, and increased radioactive risk. To gain a deeper understanding of fouling behavior within the fuel assembly, the migration and deposition of impurity particles were investigated with CFD method, where the Eulerian two-fluid model, species transport model, and fouling deposition model are considered. The relationship between fouling deposition rate and thermal–hydraulic parameters was investigated, and the distribution of fouling thickness along both the axial and circumferential directions was analyzed. The results show that the maximum fouling thickness reaches 44 µm in a refueling cycle. Compared with the inner rods, the corner rods have a higher fouling thickness in single-phase region and a lower fouling thickness in nucleate boiling region. The results obtained in this study could provide a reference for the investigation of deposition behavior within the reactor core.
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.
