AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies suffer from low mesh quality, high computational resource consumption, and insufficient computational accuracy in mesh generation for triangularly arranged rod bundle assemblies with wound wires. In particular, when the distance between the wound wires and fuel rods is close in the triangularly distributed rod bundle assembly, mesh overlap makes CFD calculation impossible.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of nuclear reactor core thermal-hydraulic analysis calculation, and particularly relates to a structured grid method and system for dividing a wire-wrapped triangularly arranged rod bundle assembly. BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, in the operation of nuclear reactors, fuel assemblies work in a harsh environment of high temperature, high pressure and strong radiation. In order to ensure the fixed position of fuel rods and enhance the heat transfer between the coolant and the fuel rods, a positioning device is usually used, in which the wire is wound around the single rod. The positioning wire not only fixes the position of the fuel rod and enhances the heat transfer between the coolant and the fuel rod, but also makes the flow field in the rod bundle exhibit complex asymmetric characteristics. Therefore, accurately determining the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of the wire-wrapped triangularly arranged rod bundle assembly is crucial for the design and safety evaluation of the nuclear reactor core.
[0003] Currently, CFD simulation has become a common method for calculating detailed flow fields in wire-wrapped triangularly arranged rod bundle assemblies. However, due to the presence of wire-wrapped components, the flow channel in the wire-wrapped triangularly arranged rod bundle assembly has a highly complex geometric structure with irregular channel shapes and obvious anisotropic characteristics. These complex structural features pose significant challenges to the wire-wrapped triangularly arranged rod bundle assembly. Grid division usually uses pre-processing software to automatically generate tetrahedral or polyhedral unstructured grids. Compared with structured grids, unstructured grids have lower fidelity in reproducing the geometric structure of the wire-wrapped triangularly arranged rod bundle, grid quality, and space utilization efficiency, and the number of grids is huge, which will consume more computing resources. Therefore, the grid division scheme for the wire-wrapped triangularly arranged rod bundle assembly needs to consider multiple factors to achieve efficient grid division. In recent years, some scholars have proposed a new method, i.e., in the process of dividing the structured grid of the wire-wrapped triangularly arranged rod bundle assembly, the geometric features of the wire can be first ignored, and the structured grid of the bare rod is first divided, then the grid elements where the wire is located are marked in the CFD software through the parameter equation of the wire. Finally, the marked grid elements can be deleted to obtain the structured grid of the fuel rod with the spiral positioning line. This method is simply referred to as "grid marking method" to better preserve the overall geometric features of the fuel rod.
[0004] However, since the wire-wrapped surface is relatively rough due to the wire-wrapped being obtained by deleting the grid, the flow resistance of the spiral positioning line can be overestimated, and errors can be caused in the CFD simulation results. Meanwhile, there is also a method of dividing by stretching the two-dimensional grid, but this method is only limited to the pressurized water reactor containing the wire-wrapped, and the rod bundle distribution is in the rectangular distribution, which can be used. In this case, the rod bundle spacing is large, and for triangularly distributed rod bundles, the wire-wrapped is close to the fuel rod. The stretched method inevitably causes the grid around the rod to overlap, so that the CFD calculation cannot be performed.
[0005] Therefore, in view of the above problems, how to provide a structured grid method and system for dividing a triangularly arranged rod bundle assembly with wire-wrapped is a problem that those skilled in the art need to solve. SUMMARY
[0006] Therefore, the present application provides a structured grid method and system for dividing a triangularly arranged rod bundle assembly with wire-wrapped to solve the problems in the prior art.
