Preliminary study of coupling CFD code FLUENT and system code RELAP5
چکیده انگلیسی
The present paper discusses a coupling strategy of the 3D (three-dimensional) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code ANSYS-FLUENT with the best estimate 1D (one-dimensional) thermal-hydraulic system code RELAP5/MOD3.1. Preliminarily, by using DLL (Dynamic Link Library) technology and FLUENT UDF (User Defined Functions), an explicit coupling method expected to be able to support the analysis of multi-purpose thermal-hydraulic phenomena in nuclear reactor systems has been developed. Calculations for two test cases using the coupled FLUENT/RELAP5 code have been carried out to test and demonstrate the coupling capability: (i) the first one consisting of single-phase water transient flow in a square straight tube with well controlled mass flow rates; (ii) the second one illustrating the process of single-phase water flow in a system including two closed loops and one vessel, on which loss of loop water flow due to pump trip and increase of loop water temperature are studied. Both reasonable 1D systematic behaviors and 3D distribution information are naturally obtained for the test cases. Besides, a study of a highly transient experiment problem, i.e. Edwards-O'Brien pipe blowdown problem, has been performed by using the coupled FLUENT/RELAP5 code. The results are compared with standalone RELAP5 calculation and available experimental data, which shows the coupled FLUENT/RELAP5 code's acceptable potential for the capability of analyzing either simple single-phase or complex two-phase flow problem.
