Development of analysis code for thermal hydro-dynamics of marine reactor under multi-dimensional ship motions, RETRAN-02/GRAV. Improvement of RETRAN-02 and experimental analyses

Abstract

We have improved a computer code RETRAN-02/GRAV for analysing thermal-hydro dynamics of a marine reactor plant under ship motions as a tool for research and development of marine reactor. The RETRAN-02 bases originally on one-dimensional model. Some improvement of the original RETRAN code has been made in analysis of thermal hydro-dynamics of a heaving (vertical movement) and a rolling (rotational movement), as well as a stationary inclination, on vertical acceleration by one-dimensional model, on inclination by two-dimensional model, on vertical and horizontal acceleration by two-dimensional model, and on arbitrary rotation by three-dimentional model. We have checked the improved models by analyses of some experiments: single-phase and two-phase natural circulation flows under heaving, single-phase natural circulation with rolling and the single-phase natural circulation at stationary inclination attitude. The analyzed results verify the presented model to be capable to simulate well the ship motions. As an application of RETRAN-02/GRAV, the nuclear powered ship Mutsu has been analysed to provide useful information for planning of the experiment in the Mutsu experimental voyage. (author).
