CFD Analysis on the Core Inlet Flow Similarity between an 1/20 Re model and SMART

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

A reactor flow distribution model test has been being performed using a 1/5 size and 1/20 Re model for SMART since 2009. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analyses also have been being conducted in parallel for SMART. Before the construction of the test facility, several CFD calculations on the core inlet flow distribution to confirm the similarity between the SMART full model and the 1/5 scale-1/20 Re model were performed. The core inlet flow of SMART was investigated in reference. In the process of the similarity calculation, the effects of the core resistance and the flow structure such as the flow skirt of SMART were also investigated. In this paper, the CFD results are discussed and the influence of turbulence models and grids are inspected
