Development and application of three-dimensional multi-physics and multi-scale coupling program for lead cooled fast reactor
High-fidelity and high-precision nuclear-thermal coupling calculations for reactors can more accurately simulate the core behavior of a reactor. This work investigates the coupling of neutron physics and thermal–hydraulic behavior using the pin-by-pin subchannel thermal–hydraulic simulation code KMC-FBc based on precise geometric modeling and high-accuracy MOC (Method of Characteristics) neutron transport calculations. To examine the transient characteristics of natural circulation lead–bismuth fast reactors, this work integrates the system code RELAP5 and develops the OpenMOC/KMC-FBc/RELAP5. And the correctness of the coupling program is proved by comparing the calculation results of RELAP5. In this paper, the OpenMOC/KMC-FBc/RELAP5 coupling program is used to simulate the thermal and hydraulic phenomena under the steady state and accident conditions of the natural circulation lead cooled fast reactor (SNCLFR-100) designed by the University of Science and Technology of China. The accident conditions include unprotected transient overpower accident and unprotected loss of heat-sink accident. The results show that the OpenMOC/KMC-FBc/RELAP5 provides high accuracy and can effectively capture the physical and thermal–hydraulic variations in the reactor core under transient conditions.
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.
