The application provides an
analysis method for the influence of
cavitation and temperature on the sealing performance of a nuclear main pump. The method comprises selection of a
cavitation model, judgment of fluid flow state, setting of boundary conditions and analysis of the influence on sealing performance. Three different calculation models are selected, and sealing performance parameters under changes in film thickness and rotational speed are calculated. Comparison of the calculation results of the three models shows that: (1) when the film thickness is small, the
cavitation effect has a greater influence on the opening force, and the opening force is obviously promoted, and the
viscosity-temperature effect reduces the opening force. When the film thickness is large, the cavitation effect is weakened or even disappears, and the influence of the
viscosity-temperature effect on the opening force and leakage exceeds the cavitation effect. (2) When the rotational speed is low, the cavitation area is small, and the change in the opening force is not obvious, but the
viscosity-temperature effect still has a very obvious promoting effect on the leakage. When the rotational speed is high, the influence of the cavitation effect on the opening force is greater than that of the viscosity-temperature effect, and the cavitation effect promotes the increase of the opening force, and the influence of the viscosity-temperature effect on the opening force is small.
