TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of simulation, in particular to a method for determining flow resistance of a graphite sphere bed gap structure of a high temperature gas cooled reactor. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the engineering design and safety analysis of high temperature gas cooled reactors, the pipe network method is widely used in core flow channel flow distribution, pressure drop calculation and coolant flow characteristic prediction due to its high calculation efficiency and strong parameter coupling. At present, the core of the pipe network method is to simplify the complex flow channel into a network composed of nodes and branches, and the energy loss at the geometric discontinuity is represented by the local resistance coefficient. The traditional method usually calculates the resistance by the ratio of the narrow gap area to the corresponding height of the sphere bed circumferential area, but the random accumulation of graphite spheres in the high temperature gas cooled reactor forms a complex pore structure, which significantly interferes with the flow, resulting in underestimation of the actual resistance coefficient.
[0003] The core of a high temperature gas cooled reactor usually contains hundreds of thousands of graphite fuel spheres with a diameter of about 60mm, which are randomly stacked in the core cavity to form a complex pore structure. In the near-wall region, the fuel spheres tend to be arranged in an orderly layered manner, while in the bulk phase region, they exhibit a disordered topological distribution. This random stacking method can significantly affect the flow path of the helium coolant, resulting in changes in local flow resistance. In addition, the contact mode of the fuel spheres with the narrow gap wall surface can affect the separation and vortex generation of the flow, but the traditional model does not correct this. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-precision calculation method that can quantify the influence of graphite sphere accumulation structure on flow resistance to improve the reliability of high temperature gas cooled reactor thermal-hydraulic simulation and provide more accurate data support for safety analysis.

The server can be a cloud server or a server cluster, etc. a device with storage and computing functions.
[0018] Reference Figure 1 The high-temperature gas cooled reactor graphite pebble bed gap structure flow resistance determination method can include the following steps S102-S108.
[0019] S102, a three-dimensional geometric model corresponding to a high-temperature gas cooled reactor core cavity of a combined structure of a reaction graphite pebble bed and a gap is constructed; wherein the three-dimensional geometric model comprises: a pebble bed in which graphite fuel balls are distributed and a gap channel on the side of the pebble bed.
[0020] The embodiment can include: simulating the high-temperature gas cooled reactor core cavity of the combined structure of the reaction graphite pebble bed and the gap by using the discrete element method; in the simulation, the graphite fuel balls are dropped from the top, and after the accumulation is stable, the pebble bed in which the graphite fuel balls are distributed is formed; the gap channel is constructed on the side of the pebble bed to obtain the initial three-dimensional geometric model of the combined structure of the reaction graphite pebble bed and the gap.
[0021] Specifically, in the modeling stage of the three-dimensional geometric model, the typical core cavity of the high-temperature gas cooled reactor is simulated by using the discrete element method (DEM, Discrete Element Method) to construct a three-dimensional geometric model capable of reacting the combined structure of the graphite pebble bed and the gap as shown in Figure 2 .
[0022] In the simulation, in order to truly reproduce the near-wall accumulation characteristics of the pebble bed, the DEM software is called to simulate the natural falling and accumulation process of the graphite fuel balls, that is, the graphite fuel balls are freely dropped from the top with the actual diameter and naturally accumulated under the action of gravity to form a random but locally regular structure. After the accumulation is stable, the pebble bed in which the graphite fuel balls are distributed is formed. Based on this, a large number of graphite fuel balls with a diameter of R (for example, R=60mm) are distributed in the pebble bed.
[0023] The gap channel with a gap width of d is constructed on the side of the pebble bed, and the gap channel can also be generally referred to as a narrow gap channel or a narrow gap structure in the industry. The gap width d of the gap channel ranges for example: .
[0024] The target distance between the center of the graphite fuel ball near the wall in the pebble bed and the center axis of the gap channel is l , .
[0025] The pebble bed in which the graphite fuel balls are distributed and the gap channel on the side of the pebble bed are coupled to constitute the main body of the three-dimensional geometric model capable of reacting the combined structure of the graphite pebble bed and the gap. The three-dimensional geometric model can simulate the real accumulation structure distribution of the graphite fuel balls.
[0026] S104, identifying a plurality of accumulation structures corresponding to the near-wall area of the pebble bed close to the gap channel and determining the distribution data of each accumulation structure.
[0027] The embodiment includes: dividing a near-wall region close to the gap channel in the pebble bed into a plurality of three-dimensional subdomains; and identifying the packing structure of each three-dimensional subdomain; wherein the packing structure is divided into: a face-centered cubic structure, a body-centered cubic structure, or a simple cubic structure; and the occurrence probability of each packing structure in the near-wall region is counted to obtain distribution data of the packing structure.
[0028] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , a local region in the pebble bed within a preset distance range (such as a range of 3-5 ball diameters) from the gap channel is selected as the near-wall region to be subjected to local structure identification.
[0029] The near-wall region is uniformly divided into a plurality of three-dimensional subdomains along the axial and radial directions. The local structure of the spheres in each three-dimensional subdomain is identified and classified by using geometric indexes such as the number of inter-sphere contacts and the local porosity, and in combination with a preset determination rule, to obtain the following packing structures: a face-centered cubic structure (FCC), a body-centered cubic structure (BCC), or a simple cubic structure (SC).
[0030] Then, the embodiment can count the occurrence probability of each packing structure in the near-wall region, denoted as P FCC , P BCC , and P SC , respectively, and satisfy: P FCC + P BCC + P SC =1.
[0031] The distribution data of the above packing structures will be used as the probability weight input for subsequent establishment of a CFD geometric model. When the CFD geometric model is modeled, the modeling is performed according to the probabilities of the occurrence probabilities of the above three packing structures, for example, if FCC accounts for 30%, the coefficient of the resistance model obtained by CFD simulation should be multiplied by 30%, and subsequently, the relevant formulas (5) and (6) of the target resistance coefficient benchmark value can be referred to.
[0032] To improve the representativeness and robustness of the statistics, the embodiment performs multiple independent DEM pile simulation of the three-dimensional geometric model, and the packing structures and the corresponding distribution data obtained under the same initial condition are summarized and normalized to obtain stable and reliable packing structures and distribution data.
[0033] S106, for each packing structure, a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) geometric model with a combination of geometric parameters is established in the near-wall region based on the distribution data of the packing structure; the combination of geometric parameters includes: a gap width d of the gap channel, a target distance between the center of the graphite fuel sphere and the gap channel l .
[0034] The embodiment includes: setting multiple combinations of geometric parameters for each packing structure; and establishing a series of CFD geometric models of each packing structure in the near-wall region according to the distribution data of each packing structure and the multiple combinations of geometric parameters.
[0035] Specifically, based on the three-dimensional geometric model, a CFD geometric model of each packing structure (FCC, BCC and SC) in the near-wall region is established. Due to the central axis symmetry of the high-temperature gas cooled reactor pebble bed, the CFD geometric model corresponding to each packing structure is provided with a gap channel and a near-wall pebble bed structure. In combination with the gap width d of the gap channel Figure 4 , the target distance between the center of the graphite fuel sphere in the near-wall pebble bed structure close to the gap channel and the central axis of the gap channel is . The gap width d and the target distance l constitute a combination of geometric parameters (d, and l ). l ) In combination with the parameterized modeling method, the embodiment can set multiple representative combinations of geometric parameters (d, l ) for each packing structure, construct an orthogonal experiment matrix, and generate a series of CFD geometric models corresponding to the calculation conditions. The CFD geometric model established in the above manner fully considers the packing structure, and each packing structure corresponds to a respective CFD geometric model.
[0036] For the graphite fuel sphere intersecting with the wall surface of the gap channel, an accurate geometric cutting operation is performed to retain the arc surface structure of the sphere of the graphite fuel sphere outside the gap channel, and to ensure the geometric continuity between the pebble bed and the gap channel.
[0037] In actual application, the CFD geometric model of each packing structure can be exported as a Parasolid format file.
[0038] S108, based on the CFD geometric model of each packing structure, CFD calculation and fitting are performed to determine the target flow resistance characteristic parameters corresponding to each packing structure.
[0039] The embodiment comprises: obtaining a plurality of sets of pressure drop data corresponding to the process of fluid entering the gap channel from the gap of the graphite fuel sphere under the same fluid boundary condition and different mass flow rates for the CFD geometric model of the current packing structure. The resistance relationship parameters under the current packing structure are determined according to the pressure drop data.
[0040] The current packing structure is any one of a plurality of packing structures. It can be understood that in the embodiment, the implementation process of determining the target flow resistance characteristic parameter is the same for each packing structure, whether it is a face-centered cubic structure, a body-centered cubic structure or a simple cubic structure. Therefore, the embodiment takes any one of the packing structures as the current packing structure for example, which can be a face-centered cubic structure, a body-centered cubic structure or a simple cubic structure.
[0041] In the specific implementation process, the Parasolid format file of the CFD geometric model of the current packing structure can be imported into the CFD simulation calculation platform. In order to ensure numerical accuracy, the core region grid adopts hybrid polyhedral grid, and boundary layer grid, i.e. prismatic layer grid, is set near the gap channel and the surface of the graphite fuel sphere to finely capture the boundary layer flow characteristics.
[0042] The same fluid boundary condition is set for each packing structure, and a plurality of sets of different mass flow rates are calculated to obtain the corresponding pressure drop data of the fluid entering the gap channel from the gap of the graphite fuel sphere.
[0043] The fluid boundary condition comprises: the inlet boundary condition adopts mass flow rate inlet, and the outlet boundary condition is pressure outlet; the core outlet pressure under the operating condition of the high-temperature gas cooled reactor is set as the reference pressure, and all wall surfaces are set as adiabatic wall surfaces. The CFD geometric model of the current packing structure is selected, and the accurate physical parameters of helium at the corresponding temperature, such as dynamic viscosity and helium density, are input in the calculation.
[0044] The convergence condition is monitored during the solution process, and the gap pinch area and the gap expansion area are dynamically monitored during the iteration process, referring to Figure 4 The monitoring sections S3 and S4 are respectively created at the distances X1 and X2 of the gap channel and the ball bed interface, the pressure distribution of each monitoring section is obtained through the field function extractor, the static pressure difference between the ball bed main flow area (S1) and the gap channel inlet (S3) is determined as the pressure drop data corresponding to the gap pinch area, and the static pressure difference between the gap channel outlet (S4) and the ball bed main flow area (S1) is determined as the pressure drop data corresponding to the gap expansion area.
[0045] After the calculation, the static pressure distribution data of each monitoring section is extracted in the post-processing module of the CFD software, and the resistance relationship parameters corresponding to different mass flow rates are calculated according to the static pressure distribution data and the following formulas (1) and (2), which can include the resistance coefficient f and the Reynolds number : (1) (2) wherein, represents the pressure difference of the sudden contraction region or the sudden expansion region, represents the helium density, v represents the flow velocity of helium at the monitoring sections S3 and S4, and L represents the characteristic length of the gap channel, represents the dynamic viscosity.
[0046] According to the total bypass flow rate m of the high-temperature gas cooled reactor core 总 and the variation law of the mass flow rate and the height of the bypass flow entering the gap channel, the bypass flow rate value range of the core interior is (0, m max ). Compared with the actual spherical bed geometric model, the mass flow rate value range of the CFD geometric model in the embodiment is . Through calculation, the Reynolds number Re of the working condition involved in the embodiment is 0<Re<3×10 4 .
[0047] Next, for the CFD geometric model with fixed geometric parameter combination, the resistance relationship parameters corresponding to multiple mass flow rate points are selected for CFD calculation and fitting to obtain the target flow resistance characteristic parameters corresponding to the current accumulation structure. The step specifically can include the following contents.
[0048] For the CFD geometric model of each geometric parameter combination, the resistance relationship parameters corresponding to multiple mass flow rate points are selected for CFD calculation to obtain CFD data; the CFD data is fitted to obtain initial flow resistance characteristic parameters; wherein the initial flow resistance characteristic parameters include an initial resistance coefficient reference value.
[0049] Specifically, for the CFD geometric model of the above geometric parameter combination (d, l), n mass flow rate points are selected, and the resistance relationship parameters (including the resistance coefficient f and the Reynolds number Re) corresponding to the n mass flow rate points are calculated by CFD to obtain CFD data. Then, for the CFD geometric model with fixed geometric parameter combination (d, l), the CFD data is used to fit the power law formula corresponding to the sudden contraction region and the sudden expansion region of the gap channel, as shown in the following formulas (3) and (4): (3) (4) In the above power law formula, , respectively represent the initial flow resistance characteristic parameters corresponding to the sudden expansion region and the sudden contraction region of the gap channel; , respectively represent the initial resistance coefficient reference values corresponding to the sudden expansion region and the sudden contraction region of the gap channel, which are empirical parameters obtained by pre-fitting, and c is a constant; 扩 , c 缩 respectively represent the variation laws of the resistance coefficient corresponding to the sudden expansion region and the sudden contraction region of the gap channel with the Reynolds number Re, which are empirical parameters obtained by pre-fitting, and A is a constant; s , A L respectively represent the area of the sudden contraction region and the area of the sudden expansion region of the gap channel.
[0050] Then, in this embodiment, the resistance coefficient reference values l under different target distances of the same gap width d are equally weighted and averaged to obtain the target resistance coefficient reference value.
[0051] Specifically, for the same kind of packing structure, the CFD geometric model of each geometric parameter combination (d, l) can obtain the initial flow resistance characteristic parameters: , . Considering that in the high temperature gas cooled reactor core pebble bed, the geometric dimensions of the graphite fuel ball and the gap channel are not single, but multiple geometric relationships coexist, and the probabilities of occurrence are different. At the same time, considering the probability weight of the identified packing structure distribution.
[0052] Therefore, in order to obtain the relationship between the resistance coefficient of helium passing through the gap channel of the graphite fuel ball pebble bed and the geometric size of the gap channel, the initial resistance coefficient reference values l corresponding to different target distances under the same gap channel size (i.e. d is the same) are equally weighted and averaged according to the spatial probability obtained by DEM statistics to obtain the target resistance coefficient reference value, which is referred to as the following formula (5) and (6): (5) (6) Wherein, , respectively represent the target resistance coefficient reference values corresponding to the sudden expansion region and the sudden contraction region of the gap channel; i respectively represent the packing structures: face-centered cubic structure, body-centered cubic structure and simple cubic structure; n represents the total number of types of packing structures; P i represents the occurrence probability of the packing structure i.
[0053] The initial flow resistance characteristic parameters are adjusted based on the aforementioned target resistance coefficient benchmark value to obtain the target flow resistance characteristic parameters.
[0054] Specifically, based on the aforementioned target drag coefficient benchmark value , For initial flow resistance characteristic parameters , Adjustments were made to obtain the drag coefficient. With Reynolds number The area ratio of the sudden contraction region to the sudden expansion region The functional relationship is shown in the following (7): (7) in, Indicates the target flow resistance characteristic parameters; , These represent the target drag coefficient reference values corresponding to the sudden expansion and contraction regions of the slot channel, respectively; Re represents the Reynolds number; c 扩 c 缩 The values represent the variation of the drag coefficient with Reynolds number Re in the sudden expansion and contraction regions of the slot channel, respectively. This represents the area ratio of the suddenly contracted region to the suddenly expanded region.
[0055] Among the target flow resistance characteristic parameters mentioned above, the Reynolds number Re can be in the range of: 0 <Re<3×10 4 The aforementioned target flow resistance characteristic parameters are used to accurately predict the flow resistance characteristics under different core operating conditions.
[0056] In summary, the method for determining the flow resistance of the graphite sphere bed slot structure in a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor provided in this disclosure mainly includes: constructing a three-dimensional geometric model corresponding to the core cavity of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor that reflects the characteristics of the graphite sphere bed and slot combination structure; wherein, the three-dimensional geometric model includes: a sphere bed with distributed graphite fuel spheres and slot channels on the sides of the sphere bed; identifying various packing structures corresponding to the near-wall region of the sphere bed near the slot channels, and determining the distribution data of each packing structure; for each packing structure, establishing a fluid dynamics CFD geometric model with a combination of geometric parameters in the near-wall region based on the distribution data of the packing structure; the combination of geometric parameters includes: the slot width d of the slot channel, and the target distance l between the center of the graphite fuel sphere and the slot channel; performing CFD calculation and fitting based on the CFD geometric model of each packing structure to determine the target flow resistance characteristic parameters corresponding to each packing structure.
[0057] The scheme is aimed at the flow distribution and variation characteristics of the high temperature gas cooled reactor core. By establishing a three-dimensional geometric model of the real packing characteristics of the graphite spheres (i.e. the combined structure characteristics of the reaction graphite sphere bed and the gap), the correction of the resistance coefficient of the sudden contraction area and the sudden expansion area can significantly improve the calculation accuracy of the flow resistance characteristic parameters of the high temperature gas cooled reactor sphere bed and gap structure. The corrected CFD geometric model significantly improves the error problem caused by not considering the influence of the graphite sphere packing structure on the local resistance in the existing pipe network method, and can more accurately provide scientific basis and high-precision calculation model for the thermal hydraulic design, safety analysis and nuclear power engineering simulation of the high temperature gas cooled reactor. In short, the disclosure realizes the accurate correction of the resistance characteristic parameters of the helium gas passing through the graphite sphere bed and the gap channel by constructing a three-dimensional geometric model of the multi-scale coupled sphere bed and gap flow simulation system, a CFD geometric model, and combining parameterized modeling.
