A SIMULATION STUDY OF PROCESSES FOR MIXING NON-ISOTHERMAL FLOWS UNDER DYNAMIC EFFECTS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The processes for mixing of non-isothermal streams essentially define the parameters of the heat-carrier on an input in a core in modes with incomplete structure of the working equipment and, as a consequence, - a heat engineering condition of a core. Besides, the task of researching the temperature pulsations accompanying practically all modes of currents for non-isothermal streams is extremely relevant, as these pulsations lead to additional thermocyclic loadings on elements of the equipment and in many cases define its resource. The paper describes the research of mixing processes for non-isothermal water coolant flows in hydraulic model of ship nuclear power plant. In several experiments, attention was paid to the mixing processes when feeding non-isothermal flows through the circulation loops located opposite of each other. To simulate the effect of external dynamic force in the form of periodic effect on the spatial orientation of the model, the ship was tested on a stand "Swinging platform". These vibrations affected the mixing processes occurring within the model. The main impact they had on the transition time, temperature gradient, vertical component of the velocity projection. In the future, these parameters will be clarified and the influence of other factors on the mixing of non-isothermal flows in the ship's nuclear power plant will be studied in more detail.
