Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of research on heat transfer characteristics of head melting pools under severe accidents in nuclear power plants, in particular to a method for studying heat transfer characteristics of high Rayleigh number melting pools by using the finite volume method of moving particles. Background technique [0002] When a serious accident occurs in a nuclear power plant pressurized water reactor, if the core cannot be effectively cooled, the temperature will rise rapidly, causing a large number of fuel assemblies and structural materials to melt and migrate to the bottom of the pressure vessel, and the high-temperature melt entering the lower head will gradually accumulate A debris bed or melting pool is formed, which continuously transfers decay heat to the wall of the lower head. When the decay heat cannot be fully exported, the melting pool will heat the wall of the lower head to a very high temperature, seriously t...

Problems solved by technology

Although the particle method has its unique advantages in dealing with fluid flow and phase transition problems, when the particle method calculates the heat transfer problem, there is a large error at the boundary of the calculation domain because the support domain is truncated.
