This invention discloses a quantitative prediction method for scouring
corrosion of flow components in lead-
bismuth main pumps, belonging to the field of
corrosion calculation technology for
nuclear reactor coolant circulation equipment. The invention employs a Kays94 Prandtl number model for turbulent flow, modified for computational fluid dynamics
simulation, to obtain the surface temperature,
oxygen concentration, flow velocity, and
wall shear stress of the flow components. Then, a coupled scouring
corrosion model is constructed, incorporating
oxide layer growth, reduction removal, and flow
erosion removal. Finally, the flow field parameters are input into the coupled model and solved using the
oxygen transport equation to quantitatively calculate the
magnetite layer thickness,
spinel layer thickness, and steel matrix loss. This invention achieves a leap from qualitative judgment to quantitative prediction, directly outputting parameters such as corrosion rate and thickness distribution, providing a quantitative basis for lead-
bismuth pump structure optimization,
life assessment, and corrosion control.
