Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of core flow field reconstruction technology, and more specifically to a method for reconstructing the core flow field of a multi-scale pressurized water reactor. Background Technology

[0002] With the significant improvements in computer performance and computational model accuracy over the past few decades, CFD analysis technology has made great strides in accuracy and reliability. It provides researchers with high-fidelity coolant flow and heat transfer data and is gradually becoming an important component supporting the digital and intelligent development of nuclear power technology. However, the complex structure and cross-scale flow phenomena within the reactor core necessitate large meshes and complex models for CFD calculations. The time-consuming process of solving high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) in the calculations presents technical challenges such as high computational cost, long computation time, and heavy computational burden when applying CFD technology in large flow domains within the reactor core.

[0003] Currently, there are few studies on high-fidelity CFD calculations based on large-scale flow domains within the reactor core. Among them, B. Liu et al. from the University of Sheffield, UK, published "Sub-channel CFD for nuclear fuel bundles" in Volume 355, Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2019, constructing a dual-grid model by embedding a fine grid within a coarse grid model. The coarse grid is used in large-scale regions of the reactor core, while a fine grid is used to simulate important local component regions, achieving calculations of large-scale flow domains within the reactor core. However, this method still uses a coarse grid in the large-scale flow domain area of ​​the reactor core, failing to obtain refined core calculation results. In contrast, Chinese scholars Chen Guangliang et al., published "Distributed-parallel CFD computation for all fuel assemblies in PWR core" in Volume 141, Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2020, based on the repetitive structure and periodic flow characteristics of the reactor core. They delineated multiple important sub-regions from the overall core region, used a distributed parallel computing scheme to perform refined CFD calculations on the important sub-regions, and employed extrapolation methods for non-important sub-regions, completing refined calculations of large-scale flow domains within the reactor core. However, this method calculates all sub-regions independently, lacking consideration for the overall core effect. Furthermore, the sub-regions represent important areas within the core, while non-critical areas are greatly simplified. Additionally, this scheme requires enormous computational resources and relies on large-scale computing clusters for implementation. It is evident that high-fidelity CFD calculations or data acquisition methods for large-scale flow domains within the reactor core are still in the exploratory stage.

[0004] Data-driven flow field reconstruction methods can utilize data to obtain the relationship between model inputs and outputs, avoiding the PDEs solution process in CFD calculations and achieving rapid computational response. This efficient computational approach provides a very attractive alternative for problems requiring rapid high-fidelity flow field reconstruction and key parameter prediction using CFD technology. However, high-fidelity CFD computation in large-scale flow fields within reactor cores is very costly, and it is difficult to collect enough data to model traditional data-driven flow field reconstruction methods. To address this issue, this method leverages the similarity in geometric structural features across flow fields of different sizes, proposing a "cross-scale" flow field reconstruction scheme that extracts flow field features from flow field data of small-scale flow fields for reconstruction of flow field data in larger-scale flow fields. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for reconstructing the core flow field of a multi-scale pressurized water reactor to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] Step 1: Based on the structural characteristics of the pressurized water reactor core rod bundle channels, different characteristic channels are identified. The model is divided into combinations of characteristic channels such as center channels, side channels, and corner channels.

[0008] After dividing the feature channels, basic grids for various feature channels, both high-fidelity and low-fidelity, are established. The high-fidelity grid is a suitable grid model selected through grid independence analysis, while the low-fidelity grid is a coarser, discretized grid based on the high-fidelity grid model, with its coarsening determined according to the user's acceptable computational cost and burden. For the source domain (small-scale watershed), high-fidelity and low-fidelity CFD models are established by copying and stitching the high-fidelity and low-fidelity basic grids. The overall grid model is established by copying and stitching the basic grids for the central channel, side channels, and corner channels.

[0009] Step 2: Establish the sample space for the boundary conditions of the source domain.

[0010] Θ=(Θ1,Θ2,...,Θ L )∈R s×L

[0011] Where, Θ i Let be the i-th boundary condition in the sample space of the source domain, L be the number of samples in the sample space, and s be the dimension of the boundary condition. The sample space of the source domain should be as close as possible to or contain the boundary conditions of the target domain to be computed.

[0012] We use high-fidelity CFD models and low-fidelity CFD models of the source domain to perform calculations based on the sample space of the source domain, and obtain high-fidelity and low-fidelity calculation data sample sets of the source domain, respectively.

[0013]

[0014] Where x represents the spatial discrete information of the overall model. To compute data for a vectorized model, n f The data dimension represents the computational model, and the subscript f represents the fidelity of the computational model, with hf for high fidelity and lf for low fidelity.

[0015] The high-fidelity and low-fidelity computational data of the source domain are segmented according to feature channels, and feature channel data of the same type are combined into corresponding high-fidelity and low-fidelity feature channel datasets.

[0016]

[0017] In this context, the subscript type represents the feature channel, ce is the center channel, si is the side channel, and co is the corner channel. For the i-th overall model data sample, the data set of the type-class feature channels after segmentation. The data vector for the feature channels. Let f be the number of feature channels in the source domain S. All feature channels of the same type and fidelity (f) are built from the same base grid and therefore have the same data dimension n. f,type .

[0018] Step 3: Use Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) to decompose the source domain feature channel datasets of different types and fidelity obtained in Step 2 to obtain the POD basis vector set.

[0019]

[0020] in, is the k-th POD basis vector of the type feature channel with fidelity f, also known as the POD basis or mode. The superscript rf represents the number of POD basis vectors retained, rh is the number of high-fidelity POD basis vectors, and rl is the number of low-fidelity POD basis vectors.

[0021] Simultaneously, the coefficient vector set of the POD basis can be obtained through POD decomposition.

[0022]

[0023] Wherein, the POD basis coefficient matrix of the type feature channel of the f-fidelity of the i-th model sample data is:

[0024]

[0025] in, Let be the coefficient vector of the POD basis for the j-th feature channel data. This corresponds to the k-th coefficient in the coefficient vector.

[0026] Using the obtained POD basis vectors and vector coefficient set, the data sample of the j-th feature channel of the type class with f-fidelity for the i-th sample can be represented as follows:

[0027]

[0028] Step 4: By copying and stitching the low-fidelity base mesh from Step 1, a low-fidelity CFD model of the target domain (large-scale watershed) is established, and calculations are performed to obtain the overall calculation results of the low-fidelity model of the target domain.

[0029]

[0030] Where, x′ lf Let Θ′ represent the spatial discrete information of the low-fidelity model of the target domain, and let Θ′ represent the boundary conditions of the target domain. lf The data dimension of the low-fidelity model for the target domain.

[0031] The overall calculation result u′ lf (x′ lf ;Θ′) The overall computational data is segmented according to the feature channels to obtain low-fidelity feature channel data of each type of feature channel.

[0032]

[0033] Where type is the feature channel type, ce is the center channel, si is the side channel, and co is the corner channel; Let j represent the number of feature channels of type T in the target domain T, where j represents the data's index in that type of feature channel, and its value ranges from 1 to 1.

[0034] Using the low-fidelity POD basis vector set of the source domain in step 3 Obtain the coefficient vector set of the low-fidelity feature channels of the target domain. The calculation process is shown in the following formula.

[0035] α′ lf,type,j (Θ′)=Φ lf,type (x lf,type )T u′ lf,type,j (x′ lf,type ;Θ′)

[0036] in, For the type class of the low-fidelity CFD model in the target domain, there is the coefficient vector of the POD basis for the j-th feature channel.

[0037] Step 5: Use Transfer Component Analysis (TCA) to perform a nonlinear transformation on the low-fidelity POD basis vector coefficient set of the source domain obtained in Step 2 and the low-fidelity POD basis vector coefficient set of the target domain obtained in Step 4.

[0038] W TCA,type =F TCA,type (α′ lf,type (Θ′),α f,type (Θ))

[0039]

[0040]

[0041] Among them, W TCA For the TCA method at α′ lf,type (Θ′) and α f,type The transition matrix F obtained from (Θ) TCA (·) represents the TCA calculation process, K TCA (·) represents the vector coefficients based on the transition matrix W.

Let be the coefficient vector of the POD basis for the j-th feature channel.

[0042] Let be the set of low-fidelity coefficient vectors of the type class of the i-th sample in the source domain after TCA transfer. Let be the coefficient vector of the POD basis for the j-th feature channel.

[0043] Step 6: Using the transferred source domain coefficient vector set obtained in Step 5, use low-fidelity coefficient vectors... As input, high fidelity coefficient As output, a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) is trained to establish a mapping relationship between high-fidelity and low-fidelity coefficients under the same boundary conditions. The prediction process of BPNN can be represented as:

[0044]

[0045] Among them, F type,j (·) represents the BPNN neural network model, W type,j and b type,j Here are the weight matrix and bias vectors of the neural network. The subscript j represents the index of the high-fidelity basis vector coefficients, k = 1, ..., rh. To improve the computational accuracy of the neural network model, a non-shared weight approach is used to build the neural network model. Since all feature channels of type have rh POD basis vector coefficients that need to be predicted, type × rh BPNN models need to be built.

[0046] Step 7: Place α′ lf,type,j (Θ′) is used as input and substituted into the neural network model of the corresponding type established in step 6 to predict the high-fidelity coefficient vector of the target domain. The prediction process is shown below.

[0047]

[0048] Step 8: Obtain the high-fidelity coefficient vector α′ of the target domain from Step 7. hf,type,j (Θ′) and the high-fidelity POD basis vector set in step 3 The target domain flow field data can be reconstructed from the calculation results of an approximately high-fidelity CFD model. The reconstruction method is as follows:

[0049]

[0050] in, For the high-fidelity flow field data of the j-th feature channel of type class in the reconstructed target domain flow field.

[0051] Overall target domain flow field data u′ hf (x′ hf,type ;Θ′) can be obtained by stitching together the high-fidelity flow field data of the reconstructed feature channels.

[0052]

[0053] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a method for reconstructing the core flow field of a multi-scale pressurized water reactor. By reconstructing the calculation results of a low-fidelity CFD model of a large-scale flow domain, flow field data that approximates the calculation results of a high-fidelity CFD model within a certain accuracy can be obtained, which can reduce the computational cost and computational burden required in large-scale flow domain calculations.

[0054] The method described above reconstructs flow field data for large-scale watersheds, avoiding the need to directly build high-fidelity computational models for such large-scale watersheds. The computational cost and burden of high- and low-fidelity CFD models for a small number of small-scale watersheds are relatively low, and the computational efficiency of low-fidelity CFD models for large-scale watersheds is significantly higher than that of high-fidelity CFD models. Furthermore, compared to the high-fidelity CFD computation process for large-scale watersheds, the time consumed by the POD decomposition process, TCA transfer process, and neural network training process is minimal. Therefore, this method reduces the memory requirements for each computation and lowers the computation time. Attached Figure Description
