| Abstract: | Steam generator (SG), as the primary-to-secondary heat exchanger and pressure boundary of primary loop, should be integrated and perform well in heat transfer ability. Flow characteristics of the secondary side fluid of SG are essential to analyze U-tube wastage caused by the flow-induced vibration and thermal stress. In this paper, secondary side two-phase flow was simulated based on the porous media model. Additional momentum and energy source terms were appended to the momentum and energy equations for porous media region, respectively. The additional momentum source contained the resistances of downcomer, tube bundle, support plate and separator. The additional energy source included the heat transfer from primary side to secondary side fluid. Solving the governing equations by ANSYS FLUENT solver yielded the distributions of velocity, temperature, pressure, density and quality, which can be used in the analysis of flow-induced vibration and separators. The thermal-hydraulic characteristics of hot side differed from these of cold side considerably. The minimum flow quality of cold side was 0.07, while the maximum one of hot side was 0.71; the average flow quality of outlet was 0.272. The flow rate in the gap of the hot side was 1.02 times of that of the cold side. |
