Study on flow characteristics and formation mechanism of air-water periodic flooding in two 3 × 3 rod bundle channels
The research on the characteristics and mechanisms of periodic flooding are important for the emergency treatment of nuclear power plants. Experimental investigations were carried out on the flooding phenomenon, the duration of various flooding regions, force analysis, and flow instability in two rod bundle channels. The flooding region can be divided into the onset flooding region and the completed flooding region. The average duration of flooding regions in Channel 1 is greater than that in Channel 2, so the channel with a smaller diameter provided larger waves, longer existence times, and expanded flooding conditions. Four forces acting on the liquid film are combined in different flooding regions to explain the formation mechanism of periodic flooding. The Kelvin–Helmholtz and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities observed in the flooding and deflooding regions are shown to analyze the influence of interfacial instability on periodic flooding in different rod bundle channels.
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.
