Figures 1-7 Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0020] This invention provides a method for calculating the gas-liquid two-phase nuclear-thermal coupling of a lead-based reactor core, see appendix. Figure 1 The method includes: S100, Construct the core geometry model and generate reaction cross-section data. In this step, the core geometry model includes the fuel rod region and the coolant region, and the reaction cross-section data includes multiple groups, multiple temperature points, and multiple void fractions. This step generates the reaction cross-section data based on OpenMC, an open-source Monte Carlo particle transport simulation software primarily used in nuclear reactor physics that supports geometric modeling. For details, see the appendix. Figure 2 The specific implementation process of step S100 is as follows: Step S102: Construct the core geometry model; specifically, based on the Python API of OpenMC, construct a core geometry model consistent with the actual core structure; the core geometry model includes the fuel rod region and the coolant region; it should be noted that the core geometry model is a two-dimensional core geometry model, and the cross-section of the core geometry model is a regular hexagon. Step S104: Insert bubbles into the coolant region to obtain a core geometry model containing bubbles; this setting is to simulate the gas-liquid two-phase flow state of the lead-based reactor under different operating conditions. Step S106: Calculate the reaction cross section based on the core geometry model containing bubbles; Step S108 involves homogenizing the reaction cross section to generate reaction cross section data, including multi-group, multi-temperature point, and multi-cavitation fraction data. Specifically, the reaction cross section is subjected to SPH correction to homogenize it, resulting in multi-group, multi-temperature point, and multi-cavitation fraction reaction cross section data. This setup yields a core geometry model containing bubbles and generates multi-group, multi-temperature point, and multi-cavitation fraction reaction cross section data, providing input for subsequent neutronics calculations. This allows for accurate simulation of the influence of gas phases on neutronics properties, and precise prediction of core power distribution and thermal parameters under gas-liquid two-phase flow conditions, providing technical support for the safety analysis and accident assessment of lead-based reactors.

Figure 3 The specific implementation process of step S120 is as follows: Step S122 involves fitting the reaction cross-section data to obtain a continuous function of the reaction cross-section with respect to the cavitation fraction. It should be noted that the fitting method can be nonlinear fitting, polynomial fitting, or other existing fitting methods. For example, step S122 could be: S123, performing polynomial fitting on the reaction cross-section data to obtain a continuous function of the reaction cross-section with respect to the cavitation fraction; this continuous function is: ; In the formula, For the reaction cross section, This refers to the fraction of voids; These are the fitting coefficients. .
[0022] Step S124: Based on the aforementioned continuous function and the core neutron flux calculation model, calculate the core neutron flux density; and based on the core neutron flux density, calculate the core power distribution. It should be noted that this core neutron flux calculation model uses a neutron flux calculation model from the prior art, which will not be elaborated upon here.
[0023] S140, based on the core power distribution and the core gas-liquid two-phase thermal-hydraulic calculation model, the thermal parameters of the current time step are obtained, including fuel rod temperature, coolant temperature and void fraction.
[0024] The lead-based reactor core gas-liquid two-phase nuclear-thermal coupling calculation method provided in this invention generates reaction cross-section data with multiple groups, multiple temperature points, and multiple vacuolar fractions. This reaction cross-section data is then transferred to the core neutronics calculation model to calculate the core power distribution. This core power distribution is then transferred to the core gas-liquid two-phase thermal-hydraulic calculation model to obtain thermal parameters. This calculation method can accurately simulate the influence of gas phase on neutronics characteristics, and thus accurately predict the core power distribution and thermal parameters under gas-liquid two-phase flow conditions. This addresses the power transient safety issues that may arise from gas-liquid two-phase flow in the core under severe accidents, providing technical support for the safety analysis and accident assessment of lead-based reactors.

The transport model includes the gas-liquid two-phase mass conservation equation, the gas-liquid two-phase momentum conservation equation, and the gas-liquid two-phase energy conservation equation, which are used to calculate the void fraction. It should be noted that the transport model is constructed based on the simplified assumptions of "no slip ratio in the gas-liquid two-phase system" and "no interphase heat transfer".
[0026] Specifically, since the velocities of the gas and liquid phases are equal, and the velocities of the gas phase and liquid phase are equal, the mass conservation equation for the gas and liquid phases is: ; In the formula, Let be the density of the gas-liquid two-phase mixture. For time, The velocity of the gas and liquid phases, For the fraction of voids, For gas phase density, The density of the liquid phase; Since there is no slip ratio between the gas and liquid phases, there is no relative motion between them. Therefore, the effects of interphase drag and lift can be ignored. Thus, the momentum conservation equation for the gas-liquid two-phase system is: ; In the formula, Let be the density of the gas-liquid two-phase mixture. For time, The velocity of the gas and liquid phases, For flow field pressure, The dynamic viscosity of the gas-liquid two-phase mixture is denoted as . For the fraction of voids, The dynamic viscosity of the gas phase. The dynamic viscosity of the liquid phase. It is the acceleration due to gravity; Since there is "no interphase heat transfer" and "no slip ratio" between the gas and liquid phases, and their spatial distributions are synchronized, the energy conservation equation for the gas-liquid two-phase system can be simplified to: ; In the formula, Let be the density of the gas-liquid two-phase mixture. Enthalpy of a gas-liquid two-phase mixture For time, The velocity of the gas and liquid phases, Enthalpy of a gas-liquid two-phase mixture For the fraction of voids, For vapor phase enthalpy, For liquid phase enthalpy, Thermal conductivity, The characteristic temperature of the coolant. This is the rate at which heat is released from fuel to coolant per unit volume.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, after step S140, which involves obtaining the thermal parameters for the current time step based on the core power distribution and the core gas-liquid two-phase thermo-hydraulic calculation model, please refer to the appendix. Figure 5 The methods also include: S160: Determine whether the core power distribution, fuel rod temperature, coolant temperature, and void fraction have converged. That is, whether the change in core power distribution in adjacent time steps meets the preset power distribution difference, the change in fuel rod temperature in adjacent time steps meets the preset fuel rod temperature difference, the change in coolant temperature in adjacent time steps meets the preset coolant temperature difference, and the change in void fraction in adjacent time steps meets the preset void fraction difference. If yes, proceed to the next time step and repeat steps S120 and S140. If no, modify the reaction cross section data and recalculate the core power distribution based on the modified reaction cross section data and the core neutronics calculation model.
[0030] This setup is repeated iteratively until the changes in core power distribution, fuel rod temperature, and coolant temperature meet the convergence conditions, thereby achieving a precise coupled simulation of the physical processes and thermal-hydraulic processes of the core under gas-liquid two-phase conditions.

[0033] Appendix Figure 6 This diagram illustrates the change in power distribution over time in a lead-based reactor core using a gas-liquid two-phase nuclear-thermal coupling calculation method provided in an embodiment of the invention. When bubbles enter the core, the core power distribution rapidly increases due to the increased fission cross-section and decreased absorption cross-section, reaching a maximum power of 180% of the original power. Later, the negative reactivity coefficient, resulting from the increased temperatures of both fuel rods and coolant, begins to take effect, and the power gradually decreases. The power distribution calculation results based on the gas-liquid two-phase nuclear-thermal coupling calculation method for lead-based reactor cores provided in this embodiment of the invention are consistent with expectations, namely, the power surge phenomenon caused by bubbles entering the core after a lead-based reactor accident.
