Modeling and multifactor coupling sensitivity analysis of butterfly check valve under the station blackout of PWR
A butterfly check valve is an important part in the safe operation of the pressurized water reactor(PWR). To study the influence of the butterfly valve on coolant flow characteristics under multi-factor coupling and evaluate the post-accident processes of the reactor, a physical model of the butterfly valve is established based on MELCOR 1.8.5 and validated by experiments. The equivalent valve opening share model and the equivalent resistance coefficient model are established to simplify the modeling process. Through sensitivity analysis, the effects of different modeling methods on flow rate and accident process are evaluated. Additionally, the butterfly check valve model is applied to analyze the transient response of the PWR during the station blackout(SBO) accident. The results show that the equivalent valve opening share model has higher accuracy in the sensitivity analysis. The butterfly valve model under multi-factor coupling enables accurate simulation of post-accident scenarios while significantly enhancing calculation accuracy.
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.
