A multi-elbow piping system is adopted for the Japan Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR) cold-legs. Flow Induced Vibration (FIV) is considered to appear due to complex turbulent flow with very high Reynolds number in the piping. In this study, pressure measurement for a single elbow flow is conducted to elucidate pressure fluctuation characteristics originated from turbulent motion in the elbow, which lead potentially to the FIV. Two different scale models, 1/7 and 1/14-scale simulating the JSFR cold-leg piping, are tested experimentally to confirm whether a scale effect in pressure fluctuation characteristics exists. A distinguishing peak can be seen in each power spectrum density (PSD) profile of pressure fluctuation obtained in and downstream of the flow separation region for both scaled models. When nondimensionalized, the PSD profiles show good correspondence regardless of scale model and even of Reynolds number simulated in this study.

Pressure measurement test of single elbow simulating Na cooled fast reactor cold-leg piping

Ebara, Shinji*; Aoya, Yuta*; Sato, Tsukasa*; Hashizume, Hidetoshi*; Yuki, Kazuhisa*; Aizawa, Kosuke; Yamano, Hidemasa

Proceedings of 18th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE-18) (CD-ROM), 9 Pages, 2010/05

In this study, pressure measurement test is conducted to find out the FIV characteristic features related to the elbow turbulent flow, using 1/7 scale experimental loop simulating the JSFR cold leg piping. As the first step of multielbow piping, pressure measurement for single elbow was performed. The same measurement procedure was taken as a 1/15 scale experiment to assess the influence originated from the different scale flow at the same Reynolds number.

In order to clarify the hydraulic and vibration behaviors in the primary cooling piping, a flow-induced vibration test with water has been begun using a 1/7-scale and a 1/15-scale L-shaped elbow test section, which simulated the JSFR hot-leg piping. The peak of St number 0.5 was confirmed in both experiments.
