Abstract:
To improve the performance of the recently developed three-dimensional neutron transport code SN3C,the consistent Diffusion Synthetic Acceleration（DSA） method and the self-adapting Chebyshev polynomial acceleration method were adopted to accelerate the source iteration and power iteration,respectively.According to the characteristics of the method used by the DSA for solving the diffusion equa-tion,the author had developed the Full Multi-grid Diffusion Synthetic Method（FMDSA）,which based on the Full Multi-grid Algorithm.The results of benchmark calculation showed a good agreement with reference value.The performance of FMDSA was demonstrated as good as the block-SOR with optimal relaxation fac-tor for little and medium problems,and moreover,for a large-scale problem,it was better than the latter.

Abstract:
Using the theory of area coordinate,arbitrary triangles were transformed into regular triangles.The transverse integration was done on the regular triangle.The spatial distribution of intra-node flux and source were approximated by a new orthogonal quadratic polynomial expansion,and a second-order polyno-mial provided the spatial expansion of transverse-leakage.The neutron angular distribution of flux and trans-verse-leakage were represented by the S_N quadrature set.Additionally,the nodal-equivalent finite difference algorithm was applied in order to establish a stable and efficient iterative scheme.A two-dimension triangular nodal S_N transport calculation program（DNTR） was coded according to the model.A series of numerical results for the test problems demonstrate that this triangular nodal S_N method is faster 5 to 7 times than the fine mesh difference code（DOT4.2） with the same precision and faster 1 to 3 times than the rectangular dis-crete nodal transport method（DNTM） with the same precision and equal mesh width.However,this method can be applied to solve the unstructured neutron transport problems,and has an unexampled advantage of the nodal S_N methods used on the structured meshes,such as DNTM.

Abstract:
Transmission Probability Method based on triangle meshes is studied in this paper.The inte-rior source is assumed to be isotropic in angular distribution and constant in spatial distribution.The surface angular flux is assumed to be with simplified 4P₁ approximation in angle and average in space.A new grid sweep process based on unstructured-mesh coding number is adopted.TPTRI program is encoded which can be applied to the solution of neutron transport of arbitrary two-dimensional geometry.Several benchmark problems are calculated and the results are compared with MG-MCNP3B,SURCU and TEPFEM programs.The numerical analyses show that the results of TPTRI are in good agreements with that from other programs.

Abstract:
To alleviate the thermal stress and fatigue induced by thermal layer separation and improve the erection conditions,the modification,enlarging the angle between surge line piping and primary piping and installing the pressurizer at a higher level,has been taken into account in the new design based on M310 model.This modification can bring the changes of the internal structure arrangement of reactor building and lead to a set of different seismic responses to some extend.A new structure model to account for the modifica-tion is constructed.The seismic system analysis is conducted based respectively on the new and old model,and the results are compared with each other so as to evaluate the differences of seismic responses in two cases.Some conclusions can be provided as reference to evaluate the feasibility of this modification.

Abstract:
The flowing characteristic of water film on wall is one of the main factors that influences the secondary droplets entrainment.This paper studies the flowing characteristic of water film on wall of certain sizes,using numerical method.Based on the analysis of water film surface forces,the dynamic boundary condition of water film free surface was obtained,and the wave flow models of water film on wall were es-tablished.The central-differencing algorithm was used for the continuity equation.And the blend of two-order upwind difference algorithm and central-differencing algorithm was used for the Momentum equation.SIM-PLE and VOF algorithm were used to solver the wave flow of water film on wall.Calculation results showed that the water file waved more acutely in the middle of wall than other places,and the inlet interferential fre-quency influenced the wave flow of water film more intensively than the inlet interferential.

2006, 27(5): 37-41.

Abstract(8) PDF(0)

Abstract:
An image-based method has been developed for measuring the instantaneous radial void fraction distribution in bubbly flows with higher void fractions in a vertical pipe.The method is based on the statistical analysis to shadow images of a bubbly flow,which were obtained using a stereo photographic tech-nique.The projection void fraction distribution was obtained,by counting all pixels of bubble shadow images and considering the overlapping probability of the bubble shadows.Then the instantaneous radial void frac-tion distribution in the bubbly flow was reconstructed from projection void fraction distributions on the as-sumption that the radial void fraction distribution is axial symmetrical.An improved algorithm for Abel inver-sion calculation has been proposed to reconstruct the radial distribution of the local void fraction based on the Fourier method.Finally,the method is checked for the accuracy in the measurement of the radial bubbles dis-tribution by comparing with the labeling method results.The comparison results showed that some special void fraction profiles,such as the wall-peaked or high void fraction distributions that usually cannot be ob-tained by other methods,could be measured by this method.

Abstract:
Prediction of Critical Heat Flux at high mass quality is important for the safety of once-through steam generator and the reactor core under accidental conditions.Based on the theory for droplet entrainment,droplet deposition and liquid film evaporation,the film thickness and film mass flow rate dis-tribution along axis are calculated at vertical upward round tube.The dryout emerges at the point where the film is depleted due to the balance of entrainment,deposition and evaporation.The theoretical CHF values are higher than that of experimental data,with error within 30%.

Abstract(6) PDF(0)

Abstract:
Experimental investigations on air-water two-phase flow in a vertical circular channel and three noncircular channels（an equilateral triangular channel and two square channels） were carried out.The hydraulic diameters of the channels are 14mm,14.43mm,15mm and 10mm,respectively.Superficial air ve-locity and water velocity are about: V_SG =0.04~80m/s,V_SL=0.001~6 m/s.The following typical flow patterns for the channels at different air and water superficial velocities were recognized by flow visualization: bubble flow,slug flow,churn flow,annular flow,dispersed bubble flow,and creep flow（or rivulet flow for the cir-cular channel）.The observation of creep flow in noncircular channels has proved that the influence of the channel geometry results in the steeper radial distribution of the phases and velocities,and eventually turbu-lent secondary flow,which affects two-phase flow patterns in noncircular channels at high air superficial velocities.The secondary flow in a triangular channel is stronger than that in a square channel,it proves that the influence of the channel geometry is of significance.The flow pattern maps and flow pattern transition boundaries were obtained.Comparison with the previous literatures shows that the influences of the channel geometry and hydraulic diameter on the flow pattern transition do exist.

Abstract:
In order to accurately describe the ratcheting behavior of material at high temperature,an experimental research was carried out on the uni-axial and non-proportionally multi-axial ratcheting of 304 stainless steel at 350℃ and 70 0℃.The ratcheting behavior under different loading paths and different load conditions was studied.It was shown from the study that the non-proportionally multi-axial ratcheting of 304 stainless steel at high temperatures has distinct dependence on the stress amplitude,mean stress,temperatures and loading paths.This result is useful to establish constitutive model for the non-proportionally multi-axial ratcheting of material at high temperature.
