CFD analysis on the safety performance of CSNS solid target under a postulated large loss of coolant accident
This study examines the thermal behavior of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Phase II target station during a hypothetical large loss of coolant accident (LOCA), where coolant channels are replaced by nitrogen gas at 0.11 MPa. Heat dissipation relies on natural convection and radiation. CFD simulations in STAR-CCM + analyze the impact of target material thermal conductivity, radiative heat transfer, and surface heat transfer coefficients on temperature distribution. A 20 % margin above the 500 kW baseline proton beam power and a 20 % reduction in target material thermal conductivity are applied. Without radiation modeling, the peak temperature reaches 490 ℃, but with the S2S radiation model, it drops to 420 ℃, highlighting radiation’s critical role. Increasing the surface heat transfer coefficient from 10 to 20 W/(m2·K) has a modest but notable effect.
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.
