Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nuclear reactor engineering technology, and more specifically to a data-driven in-core flow field flow characteristics and fluid excitation simulation method. Background Art

[0002] The core of a large pressurized water reactor is composed of tens of thousands of fuel rods, which are supported by multiple layers of grids covered with fins. In addition to the lower internal components such as the flow distribution device, the flow field in the reactor is extremely complex, and it is difficult to accurately obtain the flow characteristics and fluid excitation at each position in the flow field. Experimental research and CFD simulation are the two main means of obtaining in-core flow data. High-precision flow data can be obtained through experiments, but the experimental cost is high, and the number and location of measurement points are limited. Parallel and supercomputing technologies make CFD simulations useful for large-scale flow field analysis, but their computational cost is still not suitable for real-time health monitoring for digital twins. Summary of the invention

[0010] Preferably, establishing a static reduced-order model of the flow field of the lower head of a pressure vessel comprises the following steps:

[0011] S101: First find a set of orthogonal bases in the space Ψ spanned by the snapshots Make the collection The projection of the elements in on this set of bases is the largest, and the mathematical formula is:

[0012]

[0013] Where φ is the basis vector, U (i) is the snapshot, k is the count, i is the number of vectors;

[0014] S102: for CFD calculation results under different structural design parameters, the main flow modes are extracted by using intrinsic orthogonal decomposition and spectral intrinsic orthogonal decomposition in combination with formula (1);

[0015] S103: Based on the existing engineering experimental data as a benchmark, a data fusion method is used to calibrate the simulation data and correct the main flow mode;

For different types of sub-channels, turbulent force and flow elastic force are calculated through transient CFD simulation;

[0030] S303: according to the inlet velocity distribution of different sub-channels, the time-average value distribution, the pulsation amplitude distribution, and the pulsation frequency band distribution of the turbulent force are obtained by using statistical analysis and frequency domain method;

[0035] Furthermore, for the peripheral sub-channels of the component, the flow elastic force is calculated through transient CFD simulation, as follows:

[0036] The fluid-structure coupling effect is characterized by two regions, namely, the first inter-component flow channel which is approximately the flow between the plates, and the second inter-component flow channel which is the flow between the rod bundles;

The fluid-solid coupling effect is determined through transient CFD simulation calculation and verified through experimental results of measuring the vibration characteristics of the rod bundle in air, still water and moving water.

The data-driven in-pile flow field flow characteristics and fluid excitation simulation method according to claim 7 is characterized in that: For the peripheral sub-channels of the components, the flow elastic force is calculated through transient CFD simulation, as follows: The fluid-structure coupling effect is characterized by two regions, namely, the first inter-component flow channel which is approximately the flow between the plates, and the second inter-component flow channel which is the flow between the rod bundles; When calculating the flow elastic force through transient CFD simulation, the motion displacement and velocity of the structural interface in the peripheral sub-channel of the component are given, and the flow elastic force is calculated using dynamic mesh technology and converted into three fluid-solid coupling effects: additional stiffness, additional damping and additional mass. The fluid-solid coupling effect is determined through transient CFD simulation calculation and verified through experimental results of measuring the vibration characteristics of the rod bundle in air, still water and moving water.
