The invention discloses a pin-by-pin-level steady-state physical-
thermal coupling analysis method for a
liquid metal cooling fast reactor, which is based on an OpenFOAM platform, realizes fast and high-fidelity physical-
thermal coupling calculation by
coupling a three-dimensional steady-state
neutron transport equation and a three-dimensional CFD
control equation under a sub-channel grid, and realizes high-fidelity physical-
thermal coupling analysis of the three-dimensional steady-state
neutron transport equation and the three-dimensional CFD
control equation. And three-dimensional physical and thermal phenomena such as
neutron space scattering, cross flow and
backflow are accurately analyzed. The method comprises the steps that firstly, OpenMC is adopted for fine modeling, and a few-group constant
library is generated; secondly,
geometric modeling and grid division are carried out; and then, setting an initial
physical field and boundary conditions, respectively carrying out internal iteration solution of the physical
thermal engineering, gradually converging the
neutron flux and the
coolant temperature field through external iteration between the physical
thermal engineering, and finally obtaining a steady-state physical-thermal
coupling characteristic. The efficient and accurate pin-by-pin level
coupling analysis method is provided for the physical-thermal characteristics of the
liquid metal cooled fast reactor, and effective guidance is provided for design optimization and safety analysis.
