description | The article presents the results of computational studies to substantiate the possibility of testing the fuel of the Multipurpose hYbrid Research Reactor for a High-tech Applications reactor (MYRRHA) in the Impulse Graphite research Reactor (IGR). A scheme for conducting experiments is proposed, which allows simulating the operating conditions of MYRRHA fuel elements in a wide range of changes in their thermohydraulic parameters, including the conditions of accidents with the destruction of fuel
pellets, blocking the flow area and stopping the coolant flow. A method for thermohydraulic calculations has been developed, implemented in the software environment of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. A computational model of the experimental device is developed, optimized according to
the spatial partitioning grid. A turbulence model for determining the parameters of convective heat and mass transfer in a eutectic lead-bismuth alloy is selected and substantiated. |
