Experimental study and numerical simulation on hydro-dynamic characteristics of cylindrical floating nuclear power platform
To support the comprehensive needs of island and reef development, as well as regional economic growth, the cylindrical floating nuclear power platform is an ideal solution due to its inherent safety, long service life, and strong environmental adaptability. However, the complex marine environment, characterized by variable wind, waves, and currents, can induce platform oscillations that may compromise the safe operation of the equipment. To ensure reactor safety under such conditions, conducting safety analyses of cylindrical floating nuclear power platforms across a range of marine scenarios is essential. While previous research has predominantly focused on ship-shaped platforms, studies targeting cylindrical platforms and their reactor systems remain limited. Moreover, many existing small-scale experimental studies neglect the impact of mooring systems on dynamic responses and fail to analyze roll motion and structural safety under combined wind, wave, and current conditions, leading to considerable deviation from real-world performance. In this study, a simulation model for added mass and added damping is calibrated with an error of less than 4 %. The dynamic response of a cylindrical floating nuclear platform under extreme operating conditions is analyzed, and the maximum Von Mises stress of the pressure vessel is determined to be 17.34 MPa. These findings further validate the platform's feasibility and offer a reference for its safety-oriented design.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear power, articles on safety, siting and environmental problems are encouraged, as are those associated with economics and fuel management. However, basic physics and engineering will remain an important aspect of the editorial policy. Articles published are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically-oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field.
Please note the following:
1) PNE seeks high quality research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals in Nuclear Energy.
2) PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or explain existing reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports whereas Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers of originality, which are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion (blanket physics, radiation damage), safety, materials aspects, economics, etc.
3) Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields.
