  • A high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model for the lower plenum of the High-Temperature Test Facility (HTTF), a ¼ scale test facility of the modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) managed by Oregon State University. In most next-generation nuclear reactors, thermal stress due to thermal striping is one of the risks to be curiously considered. This is also true for HTGRs, especially since the exhaust helium gas temperature is high. In order to evaluate these risks and performance, organizations in the United States led by the OECD NEA are conducting a thermal hydraulic code benchmark for HTGR, and the test facility used for this benchmark is HTTF. HTTF can perform experiments in both normal and accident situations and provide high-quality experimental data. However, it is difficult to provide sufficient data for benchmarking through experiments, and there is a problem with the reliability of CFD analysis results based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes to analyze thermal hydraulic behavior without verification. To solve this problem, high-fidelity 3-D CFD analysis was performed using the LES model for HTTF. It was also verified that the LES model can properly simulate this jet mixing phenomenon via a unit cell test that provides experimental information. As a result of CFD analysis, the lower the dependency of the sub-grid scale model, the closer to the actual analysis result. In the case of unit cell test CFD analysis and HTTF CFD analysis, the volume-averaged sub-grid scale model dependency was calculated to be 13.0% and 9.16%, respectively. As a result of HTTF analysis, quantitative data of the fluid inside the HTTF lower plenum was provided in this paper. As a result of qualitative analysis, the temperature was highest at the center of the lower plenum, while the temperature fluctuation was highest near the edge of the lower plenum wall. The power spectral density of temperature was analyzed via fast Fourier transform (FFT) for specific points on the center and side of the lower plenum. FFT results did not reveal specific frequency-dominant temperature fluctuations in the center part. It was confirmed that the temperature power spectral density (PSD) at the top increased from the center to the wake. The vortex was visualized using the well-known scalar Q-criterion, and as a result, the closer to the outlet duct, the greater the influence of the mainstream, so that the inflow jet vortex was dissipated and mixed at the top of the lower plenum. Additionally, FFT analysis was performed on the support structure near the corner of the lower plenum with large temperature fluctuations, and as a result, it was confirmed that the temperature fluctuation of the flow did not have a significant effect near the corner wall. In addition, the vortices generated from the lower plenum to the outlet duct were identified in this paper. It is considered that the quantitative and qualitative results presented in this paper will serve as reference data for the benchmark.

  • 수제는 일반적으로 하천에서의 흐름 방향과 유속을 제어하여 하안 또는 제방을 유수에 의한 침식작용으로부터 보호하기 위한 목적으로 설치될 뿐만 아니라 과거에는 운하를 위한 충분한 수심 확보 목적으로 이용되었다. 2000년대 이후 하천복원 및 자연하천 정비에 대한 관심이 커지면서, 수제 설치로 인해 발생되는 수제주변 국부적인 흐름제어와 다양한 하상조건이 수중서식처 기능을 줄 수 있어 환경적 주요 수공구조물로 제시되고 있다. 수제는 주로 여러 개의 군수제로 설치되는데 설치간격에 따라 주수로에서 변화되는 흐름과 수제역내 흐름이 다양하게 발생하기 때문에 군수제 설계에 있어서 수제의 간격은 중요한 설계인자라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 수제간격 및 설치각도에 따라 다양하게 변화되는 수제역내 재순환구간의 흐름현상을 검토하여 수제목적에 따른 적정 수제간격을 결정하는데 정보를 제공하고자 하였다. 특히 흐름분석은 수제역내 재순환영역에서 발생하는 와의 형성, 와 중심점의 위치 및 제방부 유속을 주로 분석하여 제방부의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 제방주변에서의 흐름특성을 검토하였다. 실험의 결과는 군수제 설치에 따른 수제역 내의 하상변화와 제방안정성 검토를 위한 중요한 기초자료가 될 것이다.
