摘要: 乏燃料干法贮存具有安全、经济及灵活的优势，是当前核工业领域的研究热点之一。本研究以乏燃料干法贮存系统的水平贮存模块（HSM）为研究对象，采用计算流体动力学（CFD）共轭传热技术与多孔介质相结合的物理建模方法，建立了混凝土模块与贮存容器的1/2缩比模型的三维自然对流传热模型，在Fluent求解器中对模块内的流动传热过程进行了数值模拟。研究结果表明：混凝土模块底部入口处的收缩结构设计导致进口段的空气流速陡增，最大流速为1.98 m/s；混凝土模块内的热屏蔽板可有效降低混凝土的温度，高温区域分布在内部腔室的后墙上半部分，最高温度为108.05℃；燃料组件温度在轴向和水平径向上呈对称分布，最高温度为321.97℃；混凝土模块内自然对流换热量占总发热功率的82.3%，其结构设计具有良好的排热能力。该研究将为乏燃料干法贮存系统的缩比实验和样机设计提供重要参考。Abstract: Spent fuel dry storage system, with the advantages of safety, economy, and flexibility, is one of the research hotspots in the field of nuclear industry. In this study, the horizontal storage module (HSM) of the spent fuel storage system is taken as the research object, and a three-dimensional natural convection heat transfer model of the 1/2 scale model of the concrete module and the storage container is established by using the physical modeling method combining the conjugate heat transfer technology of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with porous media, and the flow and heat transfer process in the module is numerically simulated in the Fluent solver. The results show that: the shrinkage structure design at the bottom of the concrete module leads to a sharp increase of the airflow velocity at the inlet section, and the maximum flow velocity is 1.98 m/s. The thermal shielding plate in the concrete module can effectively reduce the temperature of the concrete. The high-temperature area is distributed in the upper part of the back wall of the internal chamber, and the maximum temperature is 108.05℃. The temperature of the fuel assembly shows a symmetric distribution in the axial and horizontal radial direction, and the maximum temperature is 321.97℃. The natural convection heat exchange in concrete module accounts for 82.3% of the total heating power, and its structural design has good heat removal ability. This study will provide important references for scaling experiments and prototype design of spent fuel dry storage systems.
