The subchannel grade void distributions in the NUPEC (Nuclear Power Engineering Corporation) BFBT (BWR Full-Size Fine-Mesh Bundle Tests) facility were evaluated with the subchannel analysis code MATRA and the system code MARS. Fifteen test series from five different test bundles were selected for an analysis of the steady-state subchannel void distributions. Two transient cases, a turbine trip without a bypass as a typical power transient and a re-circulation pump trip as a flow transient, were also chosen for this analysis. It was found that the steady-state void distributions calculated by both the MATRA and MARS codes coincided well with the measured data in the range of thermodynamic qualities from 5% to 25%. The results of the transient calculations were also similar and were highly feasible. However, the computational aspects of the two codes were clearly different.

A fluid transient analysis on the Koreasat 1 & 2 pipeline system is conducted through numerical parametric studies in which unsteady friction results are compared with quasi-steady friction results and show relatively accurate prediction of the response curve with the unsteady friction. The code developed and used in this analysis has finished verification through comparing with the original Zielke model, the full and recursive convolution model and quasi-steady model as a reference. The unsteady friction is calculated by the recursive convolution Zielke model in which a complete evolution history of velocity field is no longer required so that it makes the fluid transient analysis on the complicated system possible. The results show that the application of quasi-steady friction to model cannot predict the entire response curve properly except the first peak amplitude but the application of unsteady friction to model can predict reasonably the response curve, therefore it is to know the characteristics of the propulsion system.

본 연구에서는 다단계 수압파쇄와 수평시추가 적용된 셰일가스정에서 생산자료의 유동형태에 따라 적절한 분석 방법과 궁극가채량을 산출하는 기법을 결정하는 방법을 정리한 흐름도를 제안하였다. 또한 1차 천이유동만이 나타나는 현장자료에 대해 생산천이유동 분석을 수행할 때 고려해야 하는 사항들을 제안하였다. log-log 그래프와 시간제곱근 그래프 분석을 통해 생산자료의 유동 특성을 분류할 수 있고, 이 결과, 1차 천이유동만이 나타나는 생산자료는 이 유동이 종료되는 시점을 정확히 예측하여 이 시점을 기준으로 생산성을 각각 예측하여야 한다. 이 시점은 미세탄성파 탐사자료 해석을 통해 균열자극부피의 면적을 계산함으로써 산출할 수 있다. 공저압력자료나 미세탄성파 탐사자료가 없다면 셰일가스정에 적절한 경험적 방법을 활용하여 생산성을 예측할 수 있다. 생산기간이 짧은 자료는 상대적으로 생산기간이 긴 인접 생산정의 자료를 활용하여 생산기간의 적절성을 평가한 후 필요하다면 생산초기 자료를 제외하고 분석하는 것이 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한 미세탄성파 탐사자료 해석에 의해 산출된 SRV는 분석방법이나 분석자의 주관에 의해 과대, 과소 평가될 수 있기 때문에 파쇄 단계, 파쇄유체 주입량, 생산성 분석을 통한 적절성평가를 수행하여 필요한 경우, 저류층 시뮬레이션, 균열모델링, 생산천이분석을 통해 재산정하는 것이 필요하다.

The particle image velocimetry with liquid crystal tracers is used for visualizing and analysis of the bubbly flow in a vertical temperature gradient. This method allows simultaneous measurement of velocity and temperature field at a given instant of time Quantitative data of velocity were obtained by applying the MQD technique to visualized image. The paper describes the method, and presents the transient velocity patterns of bubbly flow.

In the present study, a numerical analysis of transient mixer flow is performed considering free surface formation. The flow patterns and free surface shape in a mixers formed by flat paddle and pitched paddle impellers are predicted. In a flat paddle mixer, two flow circulation regions are formed due to strong radial flow, whereas one large circulation is formed in a pitched paddle mixer due to axial downward flow. These differences affect the free surface evolution and shape. It is seen from the results that a flat paddle mixer gives deeper free surface at center region than a pitched paddle mixer. The free surface of 8-blades-flat-paddle mixer is also simulated to compare with the available experimental and simulation results. The present computational results agree reasonably well with the experimental data.

Structural members commonly employed in marine and off-shore structures are usually fabricated from plates and shells. Collision of this class of structures is usually modeled as plate and shell structures subjected to dynamic impact loading. The understanding of the dynamic response and energy transmission of the structures subjected to low velocity impact is useful for the efficient design of this type of structures. The transmissions of transient energy flow and dynamic transient response of these structures under low velocity impact are presented in the paper. The structural intensity approach is adopted to study the elastic transient dynamic characteristics of the plate structures under low velocity impact. The nine-node degenerated shell elements are adopted to model both the target and impactor in the dynamic impact response analysis. The structural intensity streamline representation is introduced to interpret energy flow paths for transient dynamic response of the structures. Numerical results, including contact force and transient energy flow vectors as well as structural intensity stream lines, demonstrate the efficiency of the present approach and attenuating impact effects on this type of structures.

Simplified approach has been adopted for the prediction of the thermal behavior of CANDU reactor core during power transients. Based on the assumption that the ratio of mass flow rate for each core channel does not vary during the transient, quasy-steady state analysis technique is applied with predicted core inlet boundary conditions(total mass flow rate and specific enthalpy). For restricted transient case, the presented method shows functionally reasonable estimation of core thermal behavior which could be implemented in the fast running reactor simulation program.

This paper presents a new algorithm using power flow solution which is given by the polar form Newton-Raphson method in a transient stability analysis. The computation time to solve network equations can be much saved by a decoupled power flow method. In addition, the time is much saved in performing a approximate stability analysis by linearizing the differential equations and using a voltage and angle sensitivity matrix given in network equations.

The structural analysis of a reactor coolant pump(RCP) of a nuclear power plant is very important for the safety assessment of the plant. Accurate boundary conditions for the heat transfer coefficient are required for reliable thermal stress analysis of the pump casing, especially in transient operations of the pump since the coolant properties are largely dependent on operational conditions. In the present study, a 3D mixed flow type coolant pump was modeled from the RCP drawings and analyzed in the steady state and number of transient flow conditions by using a commercial code STAR-CD. From the result of the computation, it is seen that the average heat transfer coefficients for the cases considered are found to be the suggested values of the manufacturer, Westinghouse Energy System. The unevenness in local heat transfer coefficients, however, is found to be considerable so that the use of average heat transfer coefficients in all boundaries might not give reliable thermal stress predictions.
