Description

Technical Field

[0002] Cladding creep collapse failure of fuel rods is one of the main reasons for fuel rod failure. During the operation of a pressurized water reactor, under the severe high-temperature - irradiation - external pressure in the reactor, the finite-length cladding tube will gradually deform inward due to creep, causing the finite-length cladding tube to be flattened, and ultimately leading to creep collapse of the finite-length cladding tube, losing its load-bearing capacity and affecting the safe operation of the reactor. In order to ensure the reliability of fuel rod engineering design and analysis and improve the safety of nuclear power plants, it is necessary to calculate the creep deformation of the finite-length cladding tube. The traditional method is to model an infinitely long cladding tube under plane strain assumption and establish a correction method for the deformation of the finite-length cladding tube to obtain the creep deformation of the finite-length cladding tube.

[0003] However, using the plane assumption of an infinitely long cladding tube to correct the deformation result of the finite-length cladding tube will cause certain errors; and the correction coefficient in the traditional method is affected by structural parameters, making it difficult to obtain accurate creep deformation results of the finite-length cladding tube.

[0066] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer and more understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0067] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a creep deformation calculation method for a finite-length cladding tube is provided. In this embodiment, an example is given where this method is applied to a terminal. It can be understood that this method can also be applied to a server, and can also be applied to a system including a terminal and a server, and is implemented through the interaction between the terminal and the server. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0068] Step 102, obtain the structural parameters of the finite-length cladding tube.

[0069] A finite-length cladding tube refers to the cladding tube of a finite-length fuel rod in a reactor, which is used to support the fissile fuel in the fuel assembly. A finite-length cladding tube is a tubular structure. For example, a finite-length cladding tube can be a zirconium alloy thick-walled circular tube with an initial ellipticity (caused by manufacturing errors).

[0070] When calculating the creep deformation of a finite-length cladding tube, it is necessary to obtain the structural parameters of the finite-length cladding tube. Among them, the structural parameters can be pre-input into the terminal. Specifically, the structural parameters can include geometric parameters, material parameters, irradiation parameters, etc. of the finite-length cladding tube. Geometric parameters include the axial height, cross-section thickness, inner and outer diameters, ellipticity, etc. of the finite-length cladding tube, material parameters include elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, creep parameters, etc., and irradiation parameters include the inner and outer pressure differences, temperature, neutron fluence rate, etc.

[0071] Step 104, perform discretization processing on the structural parameters to obtain a finite element mesh model corresponding to the finite-length cladding tube.

[0072] The terminal performs discrete processing on the structural parameters, and the discrete processing belongs to the operation process of preprocessing. Specifically, the terminal processes the finite-length cladding tube into a discrete geometric model by performing discrete processing on the structural parameters. The discrete geometric model can also be called a finite element mesh model. For example, the finite element mesh model is an 8-node finite element mesh.

[0073] Step 106, calculate the stiffness information and load information according to the model parameters and structural parameters of the finite element mesh model.

[0074] The model parameters of the finite element mesh model can include the number of meshes, number of nodes, number of elements, total number of nodes, and degrees of freedom of the three-dimensional finite-length cladding tube in the axial, circumferential, and radial directions. Among them, a node is a calculation point that defines each finite element shape function. The number of elements = number of axial meshes * number of circumferential meshes * number of radial meshes, the total number of nodes = number of axial nodes * number of circumferential nodes * number of radial nodes, and the degrees of freedom = total number of nodes * number of radial meshes.

[0075] Specifically, the terminal calculates the element list and node list according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, and then calculates the stiffness information and load information according to the element list, node list, and structural parameters. Calculating the element list and node list is to define the calculation domain, map the geometry of the finite-length cladding tube into individual elements of the finite element method, the arrangement of the elements exists in the element list, and the information of each node of the element exists in the node list.

[0076] Among them, the element list can be expressed as:

[0077] {{Element 1, contained node 1, contained node 2, contained node 3,..., contained node 8},

[0078] {Element 2, contained node 1, contained node 2, contained node 3,..., contained node 8},

[0079] ...

[0080] {Element m, contained node 1, contained node 2, contained node 3,..., contained node 8}}.

[0081] The node list can be expressed as:

[0082] {{Node 1, x coordinate of node 1, y coordinate of node 1, z coordinate of node 1},

[0083] {Node 2, x coordinate of node 2, y coordinate of node 2, z coordinate of node 2},

[0084] ...

[0085] {Node n, x coordinate of node n, y coordinate of node n, z coordinate of node n}}.

[0086] The stiffness information may include an overall stiffness matrix, which refers to a matrix obtained by assembling the stiffnesses of all elements. The load information may include a load vector, an additional load vector caused by creep, and an increment of the additional load vector.

[0087] Step 108: Calculate the creep deformation result of the finite-length cladding tube according to the stiffness information, the load information, a preset additional load vector, and a preset creep deformation calculation relationship.

[0088] The terminal obtains a preset creep deformation calculation relationship. The preset creep deformation calculation relationship refers to a calculation formula for calculating the creep deformation of a finite-length cladding tube. For example, the preset creep deformation calculation relationship is a system of linear equations. The terminal substitutes the calculated stiffness information, load information, and preset additional load vector into the preset creep deformation calculation relationship to calculate the nodal displacements of the finite-length cladding tube, calculates the change result of the ovality according to the nodal displacements, and further determines the nodal displacements and the change result of the ovality as the creep deformation result of the finite-length cladding tube. Among them, the nodal displacements include the nodal displacements of the major axis and the minor axis of the middle cross-section of the finite-length cladding tube.

[0089] Furthermore, the creep deformation result calculated by the terminal can be the creep deformation result of the finite-length cladding tube at each moment, including the creep deformation result of the finite-length cladding tube at the end of its service life. The terminal draws curves according to the creep deformation results of the finite-length cladding tube from the initial moment to the end of its service life, and can obtain a curve of the nodal displacements of the finite-length cladding tube changing with time and a curve of the ovality changing with time.

[0090] In the above method for calculating the creep deformation of a finite-length cladding tube, the structural parameters of the finite-length cladding tube are discretized to obtain a finite element mesh model corresponding to the finite-length cladding tube, so as to calculate the stiffness information and the load information according to the model parameters and the structural parameters of the finite element mesh model, and further calculate the creep deformation result of the finite-length cladding tube according to the stiffness information, the load information, a preset additional load vector, and a preset creep deformation calculation relationship. By establishing a creep deformation model of the finite-length cladding tube, that is, a finite element mesh model, an accurate creep deformation of the finite-length cladding tube can be obtained, solving the problem of large conservatism in the process of correcting the deformation from an infinite-length cladding tube to a finite-length cladding tube. At the same time, the reliability and rationality of the creep deformation and stress analysis of the finite-length fuel rod cladding tube are improved, ensuring the reliability of the cladding creep collapse analysis in the fuel rod design verification and improving the safety of the nuclear power plant.

[0091] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, step 106 includes:

[0092] Step 202: Obtain a preset matrix.

[0093] Step 204: Calculate the global stiffness matrix based on the model parameters of the finite element mesh model and a preset matrix to obtain stiffness information.

[0094] Step 206: Obtain a first preset function and a second preset function.

[0095] Step 208: Calculate load information based on the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, the first preset function, the structural parameters, the preset matrix, and the second preset function.

[0096] The global stiffness matrix refers to the matrix obtained by assembling the stiffnesses of all elements. The load information may include a load vector and an incremental additional load vector caused by creep.

[0097] The terminal obtains a preset matrix, which may include a strain matrix and an elasticity matrix. Both the strain matrix and the elasticity matrix are known matrices. The model parameters of the finite element mesh model may include the number of elements and the total number of nodes. The terminal can calculate an element list and a node list based on the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, and thus calculate the stiffness information and the load information based on the element list, the node list, and the structural parameters. The arrangement of elements exists in the element list, and the information of each node of an element exists in the node list.

[0098] Specifically, the terminal calculates the element stiffness matrix of each element in the element list according to the preset matrix, and then assembles the element stiffness matrices of all elements to obtain the global stiffness matrix. The global stiffness matrix is used as the stiffness information. In addition, the terminal also needs to calculate the load information. In this embodiment, in order to calculate the load information, the terminal obtains a first preset function and a second preset function. The first preset function is used to calculate the load vector, and the second preset function is used to calculate the incremental additional load vector caused by creep. The structural parameters of the finite-length cladding tube include the internal and external pressure difference. The terminal calculates the load vector according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, the first preset function, and the internal and external pressure difference, calculates the incremental additional load vector caused by creep according to the preset matrix, the structural parameters, and the second preset function, and further obtains the load information based on the load vector and the incremental additional load vector caused by creep.

[0099] It should be noted that there is no limitation on the calculation order of the stiffness information and the load information. They can be calculated simultaneously, or the stiffness information can be calculated first, or the load information can be calculated first.

[0100] In this embodiment, by establishing a finite element mesh model, it is possible to calculate the global stiffness matrix based on the model parameters of the finite element mesh model and the preset matrix to obtain accurate stiffness information, and it is also possible to calculate accurate load information based on the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, the first preset function, the structural parameters, the preset matrix, and the second preset function.

[0101] In an alternative embodiment of this example, step 204 includes: calculating the global stiffness matrix according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model and a preset matrix, including: calculating the element stiffness matrix of each element in the finite element mesh model according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model and the preset matrix; assembling the element stiffness matrices of each element to obtain the global stiffness matrix.

[0102] The terminal calculates an element list according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model. The element list includes the arrangement information of multiple elements. The preset matrix may include a strain matrix and an elasticity matrix. Both the strain matrix and the elasticity matrix are known matrices.

[0103] The terminal obtains the calculation relationship of the element stiffness matrix, and calculates the element stiffness matrix of each element in the element list according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, the strain matrix, the elasticity matrix, and the calculation relationship of the element stiffness matrix. Among them, the calculation relationship of the element stiffness matrix is the calculation formula of the element stiffness matrix, which can be expressed as:

[0104]

[0105] Among them, [K] e represents the element stiffness matrix, B represents the strain matrix, and [B] T represents the transpose matrix of the strain matrix, and D represents the elasticity matrix.

[0106] The model parameters of the finite element mesh model include degrees of freedom. The terminal assembles the element stiffness matrices of each element according to the degrees of freedom to obtain a global stiffness matrix with the number of rows and columns equal to the number of degrees of freedom. Among them, the global stiffness matrix can be expressed as:

[0107] [K] t = ∑[K] e (2)

[0108] Among them, [K] t represents the global stiffness matrix at time t.

[0109] In this example, by calculating the element stiffness matrix of each element in the finite element mesh model according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model and the preset matrix, and assembling the element stiffness matrices of each element, a more accurate global stiffness matrix can be obtained.

[0110] In an alternative embodiment of this example, step 208 includes: calculating a load vector according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, a first preset function, and the internal and external pressure difference in the structural parameters; calculating the additional load vector increment generated by creep according to the model parameters, the preset matrix, the structural parameters, and a second preset function; obtaining load information according to the load vector and the additional load vector increment generated by creep.

[0111] The first preset function is used to calculate the load vector. Specifically, the first preset function is a shape function. The second preset function is used to calculate the incremental additional load vector caused by creep. Specifically, the second preset function is a creep increment calculation function.

[0112] The terminal can obtain the load vector calculation relationship. Determine the loading surface according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, and then calculate the initial vector of each loading surface in the finite element mesh model according to the node list corresponding to the finite element mesh model, the first preset function, the internal and external pressure difference in the structural parameters, and the load vector calculation relationship, and assemble the initial vectors of all loading surfaces to obtain the load vector. The load vector calculation relationship can be expressed as:

[0113]

[0114] Among them, {f l} represents the load vector, N represents the shape function, N = 1 / 8(1+ / -x)(1+ / -y)(1+ / -z), and x, y, and z respectively represent the x coordinate, y coordinate, and z coordinate of each node in the node list. [N] T represents the transpose matrix of the shape function, and p represents the internal and external pressure difference (generally, external pressure > internal pressure).

[0115] The terminal calculates each loading surface in the finite element mesh model according to formula (3), and finally assembles to obtain the load vector.

[0116] The preset matrix includes a strain matrix and an elastic matrix. The terminal determines the stress according to the strain matrix and the elastic matrix, calculates the creep increment according to the stress, the structural parameters, and the second preset function, and then calculates the incremental additional load vector caused by creep according to the strain matrix and the creep increment. Furthermore, the load vector and the incremental additional load vector caused by creep are used as load information.

[0117] Furthermore, the stress can be expressed as {σ} = [D]{ε} = [D][B]{u 0}, where D represents the elastic matrix, {ε} represents the strain, B represents the strain matrix, and {u 0} represents the node displacement, which is an unknown number.

[0118] The creep constitutive relationship is a function of stress, temperature, neutron fluence, etc., that is, the creep rate Without loss of generality, the creep constitutive model of the Limback-Andersson model can be adopted, and the creep rate is divided into the thermal creep rate and the irradiation creep rate into two parts. From this, the following second preset function, that is, the creep increment calculation function, can be obtained:

[0119]

[0120] Among them, Δε c represents the creep increment, represents the creep rate, Δt represents the time increment, represents the thermal creep rate, represents the irradiation creep rate, A represents the thermal creep coefficient, E represents the elastic modulus, T represents the temperature, sinh represents the hyperbolic sine function, σ eff represents the equivalent stress, that is, the stress {σ} obtained from the above calculation, φ is the fast neutron fluence rate, Q, R, and C0 are all coefficients, and A, E, Q, R, C0, a i , c1, c2, and f(T) are all structural parameters of the finite-length cladding tube and are known parameters.

[0121] The terminal can determine the loading surface according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, calculate the initial additional load vector increment generated by creep for each loading surface in the finite element mesh model according to the strain matrix and the creep increment, and assemble all the initial additional load vector increments of the loading surfaces to obtain the additional load vector increment.

[0122] The calculation formula for the initial additional load vector increment can be expressed as:

[0123]

[0124] Among them, {Δf c} represents the initial additional load vector increment generated by creep, B represents the strain matrix, and [B] T represents the transposed matrix of the strain matrix, and Δε c represents the creep increment.

[0125] In this embodiment, since the finite element mesh model has been established, the load vector calculated according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model, the first preset function, and the internal and external pressure difference in the structural parameters, and the additional load vector increment generated by creep calculated according to the model parameters, the preset matrix, the structural parameters, and the second preset function are more accurate.

[0126] In one embodiment, step 108 includes: calculating the nodal displacements of the major axis and the minor axis of the middle cross-section of the finite-length cladding tube according to the stiffness information, the load information, the preset additional load vector, and the preset creep deformation relationship; calculating the result of the change in the ovality of the finite-length cladding tube according to the nodal displacements of the major axis and the minor axis of the middle cross-section; obtaining the creep deformation result according to the nodal displacements of the major axis and the minor axis of the middle cross-section and the result of the change in the ovality.

[0127] The preset additional load vector refers to the initial additional load vector. The preset creep deformation relationship refers to the calculation formula for creep deformation.

[0128] The terminal substitutes the calculated stiffness information, load information, and the obtained preset additional load vector into the preset creep deformation relationship to calculate the displacements of all nodes in the finite element mesh model, and determines the displacements of the nodes on the major axis and minor axis of the middle cross-section of the finite-length cladding tube from the calculated node displacements. Among them, the preset creep deformation relationship can be shown as follows:

[0129] [K] t {u 0} t =f l} t +{f c +△f c} t (6)

[0130] Among them, [K] t represents the global stiffness matrix, {u 0} t represents the node displacements, that is, the displacements of the nodes on the major axis and minor axis of the middle cross-section of the finite-length cladding tube, which are unknowns, {f l} t represents the load vector, f c represents the preset additional load vector, {f c +Δf c} t represents the sum of the preset additional load vector and the additional load vector increment.

[0131] The terminal can solve formula (6) by the Gaussian elimination method or the SOR (Successive Over Relaxation) iterative method to obtain the node displacements of the finite-length cladding tube.

[0132] The terminal obtains the initial ovality, and the initial ovality is the difference between the outer diameter of the major axis and the outer diameter of the minor axis of the elliptical cross-section. The ovality change result of the finite-length cladding tube is calculated based on the initial ovality, the node displacements of the major axis and minor axis of the middle cross-section. The ovality change result can be expressed as 2*(d l -d s )+e0, where d l represents the node displacement of the major axis of the middle cross-section, d s represents the node displacement of the minor axis of the middle cross-section, and e0 represents the initial ovality. Furthermore, the terminal determines the node displacements of the major axis and minor axis of the middle cross-section and the ovality change result as the creep deformation result.

[0133] In this embodiment, since the stiffness information and load information calculated from the finite element mesh model are accurate, the calculated nodal displacements of the major axis of the middle section, the nodal displacements of the minor axis, and the results of the ellipticity change are also accurate.

[0134] In one embodiment, the creep deformation results include a creep displacement curve and an ellipticity change curve; the method further includes: obtaining the structural parameters of the finite-length cladding tube at the current moment; discretizing the structural parameters at the current moment to obtain a finite element mesh model corresponding to the finite-length cladding tube at the current moment; calculating the current stiffness information and current load information according to the model parameters of the finite element mesh model corresponding to the current moment and the structural parameters at the current moment; calculating the creep deformation results of the finite-length cladding tube at the current moment according to the current stiffness information, the current load information, and a preset creep deformation calculation relationship; returning to the step of obtaining the structural parameters of the finite-length cladding tube at the current moment, updating the current moment to the next moment, and calculating the creep deformation results of the finite-length cladding tube at the next moment until the creep deformation results of the finite-length cladding tube at the end of its service life are calculated, and then stopping the calculation to obtain the creep displacement curve and the ellipticity change curve of the finite-length cladding tube.

[0135] During the operation of a pressurized water reactor, it is necessary to calculate the creep deformation of the finite-length cladding tube in real time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the terminal needs to calculate the creep deformation results of the finite-length cladding tube at each moment. At the current moment, after the terminal calculates the creep deformation results, it will return to the step of obtaining the structural parameters of the finite-length cladding tube at the current moment, update the time increment, and update the current moment to the next moment. The next moment can be represented by the current moment t + time increment Δt (t + Δt). Calculate the creep deformation calculation results at the next moment in this way until the creep deformation results of the finite-length cladding tube at the end of its service life are calculated, and thus the creep deformation results changing with time can be obtained. Among them, the creep deformation results changing with time include the curve of the nodal displacement of the major axis of the middle section of the finite-length cladding tube changing with time, the curve of the nodal displacement of the minor axis changing with time, and the curve of the ellipticity changing with time.

[0136] In this embodiment, by establishing a finite-length cladding model, accurate creep deformation of the fuel rod cladding can be obtained. Therefore, an accurate curve of the creep deformation results changing with time can be obtained, and at the same time, it can also provide data support for subsequent nuclear power operations and improve the safety of nuclear power plants.

[0154] Calculate the ovality change result of the finite-length cladding tube at the current moment according to the nodal displacements of the major axis and the minor axis of the middle cross-section at the current moment.

[0155] Step 320, calculate the creep deformation result at the current moment.

[0156] According to the nodal displacements of the major axis and minor axis of the central cross-section at the current moment, and the ellipticity change result at the current moment, the creep deformation result at the current moment is obtained.

[0157] Step 322, repeat the calculation steps of the creep deformation result until the calculation ends.

[0158] Return to the step of obtaining the structural parameters of the finite-length cladding tube at the current moment, update the current moment to the next moment, calculate the creep deformation result of the finite-length cladding tube at the next moment, until the creep deformation result of the finite-length cladding tube at the end of its service life is calculated, stop the calculation, and obtain the creep displacement curve and ellipticity change curve of the finite-length cladding tube.

[0159] In this embodiment, the process of the terminal calculating the creep displacement curve and ellipticity change curve is the same as the calculation process in the above embodiment, and will not be elaborated here.

[0169] 2. Discrete processing.

[0170] The finite-length cladding tube is discretized into a discrete geometric model. The discrete geometric model is an 8-node finite element mesh model, as Figure 7 shown.

[0171] The model parameters of the 8-node finite element mesh model include the number of meshes and nodes, the number of elements, the total number of nodes, and the number of degrees of freedom of the three-dimensional finite-length cladding tube in the axial, circumferential, and radial directions. The number of axial meshes is 7, the number of nodes is 8, the number of circumferential meshes and nodes are both 40, the number of radial meshes is 3, the number of nodes is 4, the number of elements is 840 (=7*40*3), the total number of nodes is 1280 (=8*40*4), and the number of degrees of freedom is 3840 (=1280*3).

[0180] ...

[0181] {Node 1280, x coordinate of node 1280, y coordinate of node 1280, z coordinate of node 1280}}.

[0182] 3. Calculate the element stiffness matrix.

[0183] The element stiffness matrix is calculated according to formula (1). The element stiffness matrix is a 24*24 square matrix, and the integration in formula (1) is calculated using Gauss quadrature.

[0184] 4. Calculate the global stiffness matrix to obtain the current stiffness information.

[0185] According to Equation (2), the stiffness matrices of each unit are assembled to obtain the global stiffness matrix, which is a 3840×3840 square matrix.

[0186] 5. Calculate the current load vector.

[0193] Obtain the preset creep deformation relationship represented by Equation (6), where the unknown is the nodal displacement. Substitute the calculated current stiffness information, current load information, and the obtained preset additional load vector into the preset creep deformation relationship, and solve it by the Gaussian elimination method or the SOR iteration method to obtain the nodal displacements of the finite-length cladding tube at the current moment, and determine the nodal displacements of the major axis and minor axis of the middle cross-section of the finite-length cladding tube from them. The nodal displacements also include the displacement of the largest node on the middle cross-section of the finite-length cladding tube.

[0194] 9. Calculate the ovality change result at the current moment.

[0199] Repeat the above steps 1 - 10, output the creep deformation results at each moment until the creep deformation results of the finite - length cladding tube at the end of its service life are calculated, then stop the calculation and output the creep displacement curve and the ovality change curve of the finite - length cladding tube. The creep displacement curve includes the curves of the nodal displacements of the long and short axes of the middle cross - section of the finite - length cladding tube varying with the irradiation time. As shown in Fig. 8(a), it is the curve of the displacement of the short axis of the middle cross - section of the finite - length cladding tube along the axial position varying with the irradiation time when the initial ovality e0 is 0.1. As shown in Fig. 8(b), it is the curve of the displacement of the long axis of the middle cross - section of the finite - length cladding tube along the axial position varying with the irradiation time when the initial ovality e0 is 0.1. The position along the axial position is the nodal displacement. As Figure 9 shown, it is the curve of the ovality of the middle cross - section of the finite - length cladding tube varying with the irradiation time under different initial ovalities. In addition, the nodal displacements in the terminal calculation also include the displacement of the largest node on the middle cross - section of the finite - length cladding tube. According to the above creep deformation calculation process, the curve of the displacement of the largest node on the middle cross - section of the finite - length cladding tube varying with the irradiation time can also be output, as Figure 10 shown.
