Description

Method for analyzing characteristics of forming process of molten mass fragment bed
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of research on fluid-solid coupling mechanical action and heat transfer phase change of nuclear power plant severe accident reactor core melt fragments and a coolant, in particular to a method for analyzing characteristics of a melt fragment bed forming process.
Background
In the three-mile nuclear accident in 1979, the reactor core is melted down to melt part of the zirconium cladding nuclear uranium fuel of the fuel rod, so that radioactive substances leak out. The accident causes high attention of scholars in the international nuclear field to the serious accident of the nuclear reactor, and a serious accident management strategy is proposed for the accident: an In-Vessel Retention (IVR) strategy. The in-core molten material retention refers to that after a severe accident occurs in a nuclear power plant, the in-core molten material is retained in the pressure vessel by adopting a series of strategies or means so as to maintain the integrity of the pressure vessel, and therefore the consequences of the severe accident are limited within the boundary of a primary loop.
The international intensive research on the strategy of the molten material retention in the reactor is carried out, and the behaviors after the serious accident of the molten reactor core can be divided into the following aspects: the melt and water interact (including steam explosion stage, jet flow breaking), the fragments of the melt are settled and piled to form a fragment bed, the fragment bed is cooled, the fragment bed is remelted, and the dynamic behavior of a molten pool. The invention relates to a calculation method developed by analyzing characteristics of a melt fragment bed forming process, which mainly aims at a steam explosion process and a fragment bed cooling process, and relatively blanks the research on the fragment bed forming process and the fragment bed remelting process.
The research on the formation process of the fragment bed in the initial stage mainly utilizes experimental research, a large amount of experiments for injecting the molten materials into the water pool are internationally carried out on the research, and a series of mechanism models, semi-empirical formulas and empirical formulas are provided according to the experiments. On the basis of experiments and models, a large number of integrated serious accident analysis programs are developed, and a series of processes after the melt jet flow enters the water pool can be simulated. Nevertheless, due to the complexity of the various processes themselves and the limited experimental conditions (e.g., using simulated materials and non-prototype dimensions), there is still a great deal of uncertainty in the current knowledge and prediction of certain phenomena of severe accidents. The late process of melting the molten materials in the reactor is an area needing further research, because the late process not only influences the prediction of a power plant on the whole serious accident, but also is related to the dynamic evolution of the molten materials in the reactor on a pressure vessel, and is closely related to the safety of the nuclear reactor.
The molten material is cracked after contacting with the coolant water to form molten material fragments with indefinite size and shape, and the molten material fragments are driven by gravity to settle and are deposited in the reactor core supporting structure or the lower cavity of the reactor vessel to form a fragment bed, which is called a fragment bed forming process. The chip bed forming process plays a decisive role in determining the final shape of the chip bed, and the research on the process has great significance in improving the cooling performance of the chip bed, reducing the remelting risk of the chip bed and maintaining the integrity of a containment vessel of a pressure vessel, but the research on a calculation model of the chip bed forming process is relatively few, and the chip bed forming process belongs to an imperfect research field at home and abroad.
Some researchers in the field of severe accidents of nuclear reactors use mechanical analysis methods and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods to simulate the formation process of the debris bed, for example, Discrete Element Method (DEM) is used to perform two-dimensional and three-dimensional numerical simulation on the formation process of the debris bed in severe accidents, Contact Dynamics (CD) is used to study the collapse and accumulation of molten core debris, and the porosity of the accumulation form of the debris bed is analyzed. However, the discrete medium mechanical analysis method can only complete the collision simulation among particles, and cannot meet the requirements of solid-liquid two-phase flow simulation. Some researchers have simulated the melt chips as a continuous medium, such as using the CFD method to study the interaction of melt and water, but the calculations did not match well with small scale mixing experiments.
Therefore, the present study provides a method for characterization of the formation process of a melt scrap bed, combining the method of discrete medium mechanical analysis and computational fluid dynamics.
