Development of unstructured mesh-based numerical method for sodium-water reaction phenomenon

Uchibori, Akihiro; Watanabe, Akira*; Takata, Takashi; Ohshima, Hiroyuki

Nuclear Technology, 205(1-2), p.119 - 127, 2019/01

 Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:31.89(Nuclear Science & Technology)

To evaluate a sodium-water reaction phenomenon in a steam generator of sodium-cooled fast reactors, a computational fluid dynamics code SERAPHIM, in which a compressible multicomponent multiphase flow with sodium-water chemical reaction is computed, has been developed. The original SERAPHIM code is based on the difference method. In this study, unstructured mesh-based numerical method was developed to advance a numerical accuracy for the complex-shaped domain including multiple heat transfer tubes. Numerical analysis of an underexpanded jet experiment was performed as part of validation of the unstructured mesh-based numerical method. The calculated pressure profile and location of the Mach disk showed good agreement with the experimental data. Applicability of the numerical method for the actual situation was confirmed through the analysis of water vapor discharging into liquid sodium.

The effect of use of the unstructured mesh was also investigated by the two analyses using structured and unstructured mesh.

Dynamic analysis of ITER tokamak based on results of vibration test using scaled model

Takeda, Nobukazu; Kakudate, Satoshi; Nakahira, Masataka

The vibration experiments of the support structures with flexible plates for the ITER major components such as the vacuum vessel (VV) and the toroidal field (TF) coil were performed aiming to obtain its basic mechanical characteristics. Based on the experimental results, numerical analysis regarding the actual support structure was performed and a simplified model of the support structure was proposed. A support structure was modeled by only two spring elements. The stiffness calculated by the spring model agrees well with that of shell model, simulating actual structures based on the experimental results. It is therefore found that the spring model with the only two values of stiffness enables to simplify the complicated support structure with flexible plates. Using the spring model, the dynamic analysis of the VV and TF coil were performed to estimate the integrity under the design earthquake. As a result, the maximum relative displacement of 8.6 mm between VV and TF coil is much less than designed clearance, 100 mm, so that the integrity of the components is ensured.

Dynamic analysis of ITER tokamak using simplified model for support structure

Takeda, Nobukazu; Shibanuma, Kiyoshi

Purazuma, Kaku Yugo Gakkai-Shi, 80(11), p.988 - 990, 2004/11

The simplified analytical model of the support structure composed of complicated structures such as multiple flexible plates was proposed for the dynamic analysis of the ITER major components of VV and TF coil. The support structure composed of flexible plates and connection bolts was modeled as a spring model composed of only two spring elements including the effect of connection bolts. The stiffness of both spring models for VV and TF coil agree well with that of shell models simulating actual structures such as flexible plates and connection bolts. Using the proposed model, the dynamic analysis of the VV and TF coil for the ITER were performed to estimate the integrity under the design earthquake at Rokkasho, a candidate of ITER site. As a result, it is found that the maximum relative displacement of 8.6 mm between VV and TF coil is much less than 100 mm, so that the integrity of the major components are ensured for the expected earthquake event.
