| description | CFD simulation for a PWR is an important part for the development of Numerical Virtual Reactor (NVR) in Harbin Engineering University of China. CFD simulation can provide the detailed information of the flow and heat transfer process in a PWR. However, a large number of narrow flow channels with numerous complex structures (mixing vanes, dimples, springs, etc.) are located in a typical PWR. To obtain a better CFD simulation, the challenges created by these structural features were analyzed and some quantitative regularity and estimation were given in this paper. It was found that both computing resources and time are in great need for the CFD simulation of a whole reactor. These challenges have to be resolved, so two schemes were designed to assist/realize the reduction of the simulation burden on resources and time. One scheme is used to predict the combined efficiency of the simulation conditions (configuration of computing resources and application of simulation schemes), so it can assist the better choice/decision of the combination of the simulation conditions. The other scheme is based on the suitable simplification and modification, and it can directly reduce great computing burden. |
