Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of reactor system structural mechanics, and in particular relates to a fluid-solid coupling seismic response analysis method for a liquid metal reactor. Background Art

[0002] Liquid metal reactors (LMRs) are a fourth-generation reactor type that my country is prioritizing development. Their core is typically designed as a large, thin-walled, pool-like vessel containing a heat exchanger, main pump, reactor core, and a large amount of liquid metal. Under the influence of earthquakes, the liquid metal sloshes, generating hydrodynamic pressure on the vessel walls and potentially damaging the vessel and internal components. Compared to traditional pressurized water reactors (PWRs), LMRs are more susceptible to the dynamic effects of liquid sloshing during earthquakes due to their pool-like design and the much higher density of liquid metal than water. Therefore, to ensure the structural integrity of the reactor, its equipment, and components during earthquakes, and thus ensure reactor safety, research into the seismic resistance of reactors considering liquid sloshing is essential.

[0003] A search of patent literature reveals two current technical approaches to addressing the problem of seismic response analysis considering liquid sloshing: The theoretical approach, based on the Hounser model, divides the liquid within the reactor into a pulse mass that moves with the rigid body of the container and a sloshing mass that oscillates on the free surface. By linearizing the fluid motion equations, the natural frequency, mode shape, and sloshing load of the liquid sloshing can be calculated. This theoretical approach is only applicable to geometrically regular liquid storage containers and is not fully applicable to pool-type reactors with numerous internal components. The computational fluid dynamics approach separates the calculation of sloshing loads from the reactor's seismic dynamic analysis. Using CFD technology, the wave height and load of liquid sloshing under seismic excitation can be obtained. The liquid dynamic load is then applied to the structural wall, and combined with seismic excitation, the reactor's seismic dynamic analysis can be performed. However, the computational fluid dynamics approach takes a long time to calculate and decouples the analysis of liquid sloshing from structural motion. This approach fails to reflect the interaction between structural deformation and liquid sloshing, hinders rapid analysis iterations during the design phase, and fails to effectively guide structural design improvements.

[0004] While existing technologies can theoretically analyze and simulate the effects of liquid sloshing, these analyses are only applicable to geometrically simple liquid storage containers and are not fully applicable to pool-type reactors with complex internal components. Computational fluid dynamics simulations consume significant computing resources and time, and decouple liquid sloshing from structural motion, failing to reflect the interaction between structural deformation and liquid sloshing. Existing technologies are unable to support rapid analysis of the seismic dynamic response of pool-type reactors and provide ineffective guidance for structural design improvements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide a fluid-structure coupling seismic response analysis method for a liquid metal reactor, which can accurately and effectively simulate the liquid metal reactor taking into account the liquid sloshing effect, solve the dynamic coupling problem between liquid metal and structure, and provide a simple, accurate and reliable analysis method for the dynamic analysis of the reactor body taking into account liquid sloshing under seismic excitation.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is:

[0009] The step of establishing the reactor geometric model comprises the following steps:

[0010] S101. Establish a geometric model of the reactor vessel; S102. Establish a geometric model of the internal components; S103. Determine whether the liquid metal inside the reactor participates in sloshing based on whether there is a free liquid surface in the metal fluid of each component; S104. Establish a geometric model of the liquid metal participating in sloshing.

[0011] The method of establishing a geometric model of the reactor vessel comprises the following steps: first, based on the specific structure of the reactor vessel, after simplifying the local details of threads and chamfers, a simplified solid model of the reactor vessel is established at a 1:1 ratio using structural modeling software, which must include at least the reactor vessel wall and top cover assembly; then, a mid-surface extraction operation is used to create an intermediate surface of the solid surface, thereby obtaining a surface geometric model of the reactor vessel; and gaps generated by the mid-surface extraction are eliminated through move and stretch operations.

[0012] The geometric model of the internal component is established as follows: first, based on the specific structure of the internal component, after simplifying the local details of the thread and chamfer, a simplified solid model of the internal component is established at a 1:1 ratio using structural modeling software, which must include at least the hanging basket cylinder, the upper diverter plate, and the lower diverter plate; then, a mid-surface extraction operation is used to create the middle surface of the solid surface, thereby obtaining the surface geometric model of the internal component, and through moving and stretching operations, the gaps caused by the mid-surface extraction are eliminated.

[0013] The geometric model of the liquid metal involved in the sloshing is established as follows: according to the liquid metal determined in step S103, a cylinder of corresponding position and height is established; based on the geometric models of the reactor vessel and internal components established in steps S101 and S102, the geometric models of the reactor vessel and internal components are cut from the cylinder using Boolean operations, and the remaining part is the geometric model of the liquid metal involved in the sloshing.

[0020] The structural density adjustment is to ensure that the weight and center of gravity of each component and the overall finite element model of the reactor are consistent with the specific structure, and to adjust the structural density of the finite element model.

[0021] The additional density of the metal fluid is set as follows: for the metal fluid that does not participate in the shaking, its total weight is divided by the unit volume of the reactor container at the corresponding position to obtain the additional density, and the additional density is added to the raw material density to obtain the material density of the reactor container at the corresponding position.

[0022] The fluid-solid coupling setting for the established reactor finite element model includes the following steps: according to the contact relationship between the liquid metal fluid and the structure, the interface between the fluid and the reactor vessel and the internal structure is set as a fluid-solid coupling surface, so that load and deformation can be transferred between the structure and the fluid; when setting the fluid-solid coupling, it is necessary to ensure that the fluid grid and the structural grid at the interface share nodes.

[0023] The boundary condition setting for the established reactor finite element model includes the following steps: designating the top surface of the liquid metal unit grid as the free liquid surface and setting the gravity acceleration vertically downward; and setting appropriate boundaries based on the connection relationship between the reactor and the civil structure and the connection relationship between the various components in the reactor.

[0024] The modal analysis comprises the following steps:

[0027] S503. The total modal participation factor of the two-step modal analysis should be no less than 80%.

[0028] The response spectrum analysis comprises the following steps:

[0029] S601: Calculate the 100th mode with a starting frequency of 0.1 Hz. Use the floor response spectrum at the pressure vessel support as input. Perform response spectrum analysis in the three orthogonal directions (X, Y, and Z) using the single-point response spectrum method. Calculate the model response separately. Then, use the square root sum method to combine the responses in the three directions to obtain the dynamic response of the reactor structure. The result is recorded as SL2_0.1.

[0030] S602. Calculate the 100th mode with a starting frequency of 5 Hz. Use the floor response spectrum at the pressure vessel support as input and perform response spectrum analysis in the three orthogonal directions (X, Y, and Z) using the single-point response spectrum method. Calculate the model response separately. Then, use the square sum square root method to combine the responses in the three directions to obtain the dynamic response of the reactor structure. The result is recorded as SL2_5.

[0031] S603. Combine the results of SL2_0.1 and SL2_5 to finally obtain the results of earthquake dynamic analysis.

[0046] The present invention provides a fluid-solid coupling seismic response analysis method for a liquid metal reactor, comprising the following steps:

[0047] S10: Build the reactor geometry model

[0048] S101. Establish a geometric model of the reactor vessel: First, based on the specific structure of the reactor vessel, simplify local details such as threads and chamfers, and then use structural modeling software to establish a simplified solid model of the reactor vessel at a 1:1 ratio, which must include at least the reactor vessel wall and top cover assembly; then use the mid-surface extraction operation to create the middle surface of the solid surface, and then obtain the surface geometric model of the reactor vessel, and eliminate the gaps caused by the mid-surface extraction through move and stretch operations.

[0049] S102. Establish a geometric model of the internal components: First, based on the specific structure of the internal components, simplify the local details such as threads and chamfers, and then use structural modeling software to establish a simplified solid model of the internal components at a 1:1 ratio, which must include at least the hanging basket cylinder, upper diverter plate, and lower diverter plate; then use the mid-surface extraction operation to create the middle surface of the solid surface, and then obtain the surface geometric model of the internal components, and eliminate the gaps caused by the mid-surface extraction through move and stretch operations.

[0050] S103. Determine whether the liquid metal inside the reactor participates in sloshing based on whether the metal fluid of each component has a free liquid surface. For example, in this embodiment, the metal fluid below the upper manifold does not participate in sloshing because there is no free liquid surface, while the metal fluid above the upper manifold does participate in sloshing because there is a free liquid surface.

[0051] S104. Establish a geometric model of the liquid metal involved in the sloshing: According to the liquid metal determined in step S103, establish a cylinder of corresponding position and height. Based on the geometric models of the reactor vessel and internal components established in steps S101 and S102, use Boolean operations to cut the geometric models of the reactor vessel and internal components from the cylinder. The remaining part is the geometric model of the liquid metal involved in the sloshing.

[0052] S105. Through the above operations, the reactor geometric model is obtained, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0053] S20: Perform finite element modeling on the reactor geometry model established in step S10

[0054] S201. Structural unit meshing: For structures with a wall thickness / diameter less than 10 (such as reactor vessels and hanging basket cylinders), use shell elements (SHELL181 elements) to mesh the surface geometric model of the reactor vessel and internal components obtained in step S10 to obtain structural units. The mesh size is set to 0.5 to 0.8 times the structural wall thickness; the shell elements are assigned corresponding cross-sectional parameters based on the structural wall thickness.

[0055] S202, assigning material parameters to the structural units: assigning material parameters of different structures to the structural units obtained in step S201 according to the material properties, including density, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio.

[0056] S203, fluid unit meshing: For the liquid metal geometric model obtained in step S10, acoustic fluid unit (Fluid220 unit) is used to mesh and obtain acoustic fluid unit. The mesh size is the same as the surface mesh size. The liquid metal fluid finite element model is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0057] S204, assigning material parameters to the fluid unit: assigning material parameters of the metal fluid to the acoustic fluid unit obtained in step S203, including density and sound velocity.

[0058] S205, structural density adjustment: ensure that the weight and center of gravity of each component and the overall finite element model of the reactor are consistent with the specific structure, and adjust the structural density of the finite element model. Take the hanging basket cylinder as an example: the hanging basket cylinder is made of metal material, and its initial density is set to 7800kg / m 3 The finite element model of the hanging basket cylinder is divided into three sections: upper, middle and lower according to the elevation. The weight and center of gravity of the three sections are obtained by ANSYS calculation. The density of the three sections is adjusted respectively so that the total weight and total weight moment (weight × center of gravity height) of the three sections are consistent with the specific structure, that is, the weight and center of gravity of the finite element model are consistent with the specific structure.

[0059] S206. Additive density setting for metal fluid: For metal fluid that does not participate in sloshing, divide its total weight by the unit volume of the reactor vessel at the corresponding location to obtain the added density. Add the added density to the raw material density to obtain the material density of the reactor vessel at the corresponding location. In this embodiment, the metal fluid below the upper manifold does not participate in sloshing and is simulated using the added density. Its total weight is A kg, and the total volume of the reactor vessel below the upper manifold is B m 3 , then the additional density is A / Bkg / m 3 The original density of the reactor vessel below the upper manifold is c kg / m 3 , the density after considering the additional density of the metal fluid is (c+A / B)kg / m 3 .

[0060] S207: Through the above operations, a reactor finite element model is obtained, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0061] S30: Perform fluid-solid coupling settings on the reactor finite element model established in step S20

[0062] According to the contact relationship between the liquid metal fluid and the structure, the interface between the fluid and the reactor container and the internal structure is set as a fluid-solid coupling surface, so that loads and deformations can be transferred between the structure and the fluid. When setting up the fluid-solid coupling, it is necessary to ensure that the fluid grid and the structural grid at the interface share common nodes. In this embodiment, the outer surface (interface with the reactor container), the internal hole surface (interface with the main pump, evaporator and hanging basket) and the lower surface (interface with the upper manifold) of the liquid metal fluid unit are specified as fluid-solid coupling surfaces through the (SFA,n,FSI) command, where n is the surface number to be specified as the fluid-solid coupling surface. The schematic diagram of the fluid-solid coupling setting is shown in Figure 4 .

[0063] S40: Setting boundary conditions for the reactor finite element model established in step S20

[0064] When simulating the free sloshing of liquid, the acoustic fluid unit must specify the direction of the free liquid surface and the gravitational acceleration, specify the top surface of the liquid metal unit grid as the free liquid surface, and set the gravitational acceleration vertically downward; at the same time, in order to carry out the seismic dynamic analysis of the reactor, it is necessary to set appropriate boundaries based on the connection relationship between the reactor and the civil structure and the connection relationship between the various components in the reactor. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the metal fluid unit is set as the free liquid surface through the (SFA,n,FREE) command, where n is the number of the surface to be designated as the free liquid surface. According to the specific structure, the UZ degree of freedom of the nodes of the lower bottom surface and the upper top surface of the support in contact with the civil structure is constrained, and the UY degree of freedom of the side nodes of the support in the cylindrical coordinate system is constrained, and a Z direction of 9.81m / s is applied. 2 The acceleration of gravity.

[0065] S50: Modal analysis: The asymmetric stiffness matrix is ​​introduced into the acoustic fluid unit, and the modal analysis of the reactor finite element model is performed using the unsymmetric modal analysis method (UNSYM)

[0066] S501. Focus on low frequencies (0-5 Hz) and use the unsymmetrical modal analysis method (UNSYM) to calculate the multi-order modal frequencies and vibration shapes of the reactor finite element model, which mainly reflects the sloshing mode of the liquid metal in the reactor. In this embodiment, 0.1 Hz is used as the starting frequency to calculate the 100th-order modal frequency and vibration shape.

[0067] S502. Focus on medium and high frequencies (5 to 500 Hz), and use the unsymmetrical modal analysis method (UNSYM) to calculate the multi-order modal frequencies and vibration shapes of the reactor finite element model, which mainly reflects the structural natural frequencies and vibration shapes of the reactor body and internal structure. In this embodiment, 5 Hz is used as the starting frequency to calculate the 100th-order modal frequency and vibration shape.

[0068] S503: The total modal participation coefficient of the two-step modal analysis should be no less than 80%. In this embodiment, the total modal participation coefficient of the two-step modal analysis is greater than 88%.

[0069] S60: Performing a response spectrum analysis

[0070] S601: Calculate the 100th mode with a starting frequency of 0.1 Hz. Use the floor response spectrum at the pressure vessel support as input. Use the single-point response spectrum method to perform response spectrum analysis in the three orthogonal directions (X, Y, and Z). Calculate the model response separately. Then, use the square root sum square method (SRSS) to combine the responses in the three directions to obtain the dynamic response of the reactor structure. The result is recorded as SL2_0.1.

[0071] S602. Calculate the 100th mode with a starting frequency of 5 Hz. Use the floor response spectrum at the pressure vessel support as input. Perform response spectrum analysis in the three orthogonal directions (X, Y, and Z) using the single-point response spectrum method. Calculate the model response separately. Then, use the square root sum of squares (SRSS) method to combine the responses in the three directions to obtain the dynamic response of the reactor structure. Record the result as SL2_5.

[0072] S603, combine the results of SL2_0.1 with the results of SL2_5 (LCOPER, ADD), and finally obtain the results of earthquake dynamic analysis. Figure 5 shown.
