Abstract

Abstract

To verify the function and accuracy of the three-dimensional fuel rod fine simulation software FUPAC3D based on the three-dimensional finite element analysis platform in analyzing and evaluating the radiation-thermal -mechanical coupling behavior of PWR fuel rods, in this paper, the thermal model, fuel rod mechanical model, fission gas release model and corrosion model adopted by the three-dimensional FUPAC3D software are given. Taking the typical fuel rod parameters and operating conditions of HPR1000 as input parameters, the three-dimensional FUPAC3D software and the 1.5-dimensional FUPAC software that has been applied in engineering are used for modeling and analysis. The calculation results of two kinds of software in the temperature of pellet and cladding, the stress and strain of cladding, and the gap width between pellet and cladding are compared. The results show that FUPAC3D software and FUPAC software have considerable accuracy, and FUPAC3D software has the fine ability to simulate the radiation-thermal-mechanical coupling behavior of PWR fuel rods.
