Cを超える加熱を経験したことを示している。一方、熱物理モデリングでは、軌道長半径が0.344AUに減少しても、推定される掘削深度1mでは放射加熱によって温度が200Cを超えて上昇しないことが示されている。これは、リュウグウ母天体が放射加熱と衝撃加熱のいずれか、もしくは両方により熱変化が発生したという仮説を裏付けている。

To clarify the mechanisms underlying the debris-bed self-leveling behavior, several series of experiments were elaborately designed and conducted within a variety of conditions in recent years, under the collaboration between Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and Kyushu University. The current contribution, including knowledge from both experimental analyses and empirical model development, is focused on a recently developed comparatively larger-scale experimental facility using gas-injection to simulate the coolant boiling. Based on the experimental observation and quantitative data obtained, influence of various experimental parameters, including gas flow rate (
300 L/min), water depth (180 mm and 400 mm), bed volume (3 7 L), particle size (1 6 mm), particle density (beads of alumina, zirconia and stainless steel) along with particle shape (spherical and irregularly-shaped) on the leveling is checked and compared. As for the empirical model development, aside from a base model which is restricted to calculations of spherical particles, the status of potential considerations on how to cover more realistic conditions (esp. debris beds formed with non-spherical particles), is also presented and discussed.

In our previous publications, a simple empirical model, with its wide applicability confirmed over various experimental conditions, has been successfully proposed to predict the debris bed self-leveling behavior of spherical particles. Based on existing experimental knowledge obtained, in this study a methodological framework is developed with the purpose of extending its predicative capability for non-spherical particles. The proposed framework principally consists of two empirical terms - with one for correcting the terminal velocity of single non-spherical particles, which is the key parameter in our modeling, and the other for representing the additional particle-particle interactions caused by the shape-related parameters. Through the preliminary analyses, it was found that by linking the Geldart's method with our recently developed pressure-drop measurement facility, the terminal velocity of irregularly-shaped particles can be readily achieved, while for modeling the additional particle-particle interactions, based on the latest data available a parametric study is also conducted to identify the potential contributors.

被引用回数：18 パーセンタイル：60.01(Thermodynamics)Although in the past, several experiments have been conducted to investigate the self-leveling behavior of debris beds, most of these were under comparatively lower gas velocities, the findings of which might be not directly applicable to actual reactor accident conditions. Current experiments were conducted using gas-injection in a large-scale cylindrical tank, in which nitrogen gas, water and different kinds of solid particles, simulate the fission gas, coolant and fuel debris, respectively. During experiments, to accomplish the bubble-based leveling as expected in reactor conditions, two experimental approaches, termed respectively as the gas pre-charge method and the pressure-adjustment method, have been attempted. Through elaborate comparisons and evaluations, it is found that compared to the gas pre-charge way the pressure-adjustment method can alleviate the liquid disturbance from bottom inlet pipelines more effectively. Further, based on experimental data using pressure-adjustment method, influence of particle size, particle density and gas flow rate on the leveling has been confirmed under current higher gas velocities. In addition, the liquid convection in the water pool, which is not evident within lower gas velocities, is observed to play an important role within current conditions, especially for experimental runs using larger-size but lower-density particles at rather higher gas flow rates.

To confirm the mechanisms of self-leveling behavior, several series of experiments were elaborately designed and performed in recent years under the constructive collaboration between Japan Atomic Energy Agency and Kyushu University. This paper summarizes the recent knowledge obtained from the newly developed large-scale experiments using gas-injection to simulate coolant boiling. Compared to previous investigations, it can cover a much wider range of gas velocities (presently up to a flow rate of around 300 L/min). The experiments were conducted in a cylindrical tank, in which water, nitrogen gas and different kinds of solid particles, simulate the coolant, vapor and fuel debris, respectively. Based on the quantitative data obtained, influence of various experimental parameters, including gas flow rate, water depth, particle size as well as particle density on the leveling was checked and compared. Moreover, with the help of dimensional analysis technique, a set of empirical correlations to predict the self-leveling development depending on particle size, particle density and gas injection velocity was proposed and validated over current conditions.

被引用回数：38 パーセンタイル：93.76(Nuclear Science & Technology)During a hypothetical core-disruptive accident (CDA) in a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), degraded core materials can form conically-shaped debris beds over the core-support structure and/or in the lower inlet plenum of the reactor vessel from rapid quenching and fragmentation of core material pool. However, coolant boiling may lead ultimately to leveling of the debris bed that is crucial to the relocation of molten core and heat-removal capability of debris bed. To clarify the mechanisms underlying this self-leveling behavior, a great amount of experiments were performed within a variety of conditions in recent years under the constructive collaboration between Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and Kyushu University (Japan). The present contribution synthesizes and gives detailed comparative analyses of those experiments. Effects of various experimental parameters that may have potential influence on the leveling process such as boiling mode (bottom-heated, depressurization boiling and gas injection), particle size, particle density, particle shape (spherical and non-spherical), boiling intensity (or gas flow rate), water depth along with column geometry, were investigated, thus, giving a large palette of favorable data for better understanding of CDAs and improved verifications of computer models developed in advanced fast reactor safety analysis codes.

Studies on the self-leveling behavior of debris bed are crucial for the assessment of core-disruptive accident (CDA) occurred in sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR). To clarify this behavior over a wide range of gas velocities, a series of experiments was performed by injecting nitrogen gas uniformly from a pool bottom. Current experiments were conducted in a cylindrical tank, in which water, nitrogen gas and different kinds of solid particles, simulate the coolant, vapor (generated by coolant boiling) and fuel debris, respectively. Based on the quantitative data obtained (mainly the time variation of bed inclination angle), with the help of dimensional analysis technique, a set of empirical correlations to predict the self-leveling development depending on particle size, particle density and gas injection velocity was proposed and discussed. It was seen that good agreement could be obtained between the calculated and experimental values. Rationality of the correlations was further confirmed through detailed analyses of the effects of experimental parameters such as particle size, particle density, gas flow rate and boiling mode. In order to facilitate future analyses and simulations of CDAs in SFRs more efficiently, the obtained results in this work will be incorporated into advanced fast reactor safety analysis codes.

Studies on self-leveling behavior of debris bed are crucial for the assessment of core-disruptive accident (CDA) occurred in sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR). Although in the past, several experiments have been conducted to investigate this behavior, most of these were under comparatively lower gas velocities, the findings of which might be not directly applicable to actual reactor accident conditions. To further clarify this behavior, a series of experiments has been performed by percolating nitrogen gas uniformly from pool bottom. Current experiments were conducted in a cylindrical tank, in which nitrogen gas, water and different kinds of solid particles, simulate the fission gas, coolant and fuel debris, respectively. During experiments, to alleviate the liquid disturbance from the bottom inlet pipelines, within the upper region of the test tank a condition of comparatively lower pressure was created. It is found that in this way the bubble-based leveling as expected in actual reactor accident conditions can be achieved effectively throughout the whole experimental process. Further, based on the quantitative data obtained, influence of various experimental parameters, including gas flow rate (up to 300 L/min), water height (180 mm, 400 mm), particle size (2 6 mm), particle density as well as column geometry on the leveling was checked and compared. Current work provides fundamental data for better understanding and improved estimation of CDAs in SFRs.

There is a possibility of the formation of conically-shaped debris bed over the core-support structure and/or in the lower inlet plenum of the reactor vessel, postulates core disruptive accident (CDA) in a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR). However, coolant boiling may lead ultimately to leveling of the debris bed. In this study, nitrogen gas was used to clarify this behavior percolating uniformly through particle beds. Wide ranges of experimental parameters were used. Based on the experimental data, a simple empirical approach was suggested to evaluate the transient variation in the bed inclination angle during the leveling. Validation of this approach was confirmed through analyses of the effects of experimental parameters, while its applicability to extended conditions (different initial inclination angles) was further validated by several typical experimental cases.
