Numerical model of heat transfer in a rod bundle with helical wire wrap spacers

Journal Article Graves, A W ; Catton, I - J. Heat Transfer, v. 95, no. 4, pp. 559-562

A practical solution to the problem of predicting operating temperatures for nuclear fuel assemblies contining wirewrapped fuel pins spaced in a triangular array is presented. It is shown that the flow field predictions for the subpitch length (below 12 in. for these data) agree with experimental data obtined from prototypic LMFBR model fuel assembly tests. (auth)

One-way coupled simulation of FIV in a 7-pin wire-wrapped fuel pin bundle

Journal Article Brockmeyer, Landon ; Merzari, Elia ; Solberg, Jerome ; ... - Nuclear Engineering and Design

A normal fuel geometry found in sodium cooled reactor designs is the hexagonal lattice of wire-wrapped fuel pins. The wire-wrappers, which replace the more common spacer grids, act as a spacer between the fuel pins, while simultaneously increasing the fluid mixing between subchannels. The induced transverse flow, while good for mixing, increases the force load experienced by the fuel pins, increasing the possibility of problematic flow induced vibrations. The primary source of vibrations is turbulent buffeting, so very small in amplitude, but capable of rupturing the fuel cladding by fretting. The vast majority of research on fretting has been formore »« less

Comparison of experimental and simulation results on interior subchannels of a 61-pin wire-wrapped hexagonal fuel bundle

Journal Article Goth, N. ; Jones, P. ; Nguyen, D. T. ; ... - Nuclear Engineering and Design

As part of a joint U.S. Department of Energy project, Framatome, Argonne National Laboratory, Terrapower, and Texas A&M University have collaborated to produce experimental data and computational results to characterize the flow behavior of a 61-pin wire-wrapped hexagonal fuel bundle. Here, comparisons are made between Texas A&M’s experimental particle image velocimetry velocity field measurements and Argonne National Laboratory’s large-eddy simulation results in an interior subchannel for a Reynolds number of 19,000. It can be concluded that the shape and magnitude of the mean vertical velocity component is in excellent agreement for the selected horizontal line plots. Maximum relative errors aremore »« less

A METHOD OF CORRELATING EXPERIMENTAL FLUID FRICTION DATA FOR TUBE BUNDLES OF DIFFERENT SIZE AND TUBE BUNDLE TO SHELL WALL SPACING

Technical Report Wantland, J. L.

An analytical method of correlating fluid friction data for flow parallel to square array cylindrical tubes in rectangular cross-section flow channels has been devised. In this technique, the experimental values for friction factors and Reynolds moduli are multiplied by correlation terms which yield new friction factors and Reynolds moduli that pertain to the core region of the tube bundle excluding the boundary effects; hence, model configurations with different numbers of tubes and different tube bundle to shell wall spacing can be correlated. Experimental fluid friction data have been obtained on a 25-tube tube bundle by the ARE Division and onmore »« less
