Abstract
Numerical simulation method to analyze unsteady thermal-hydraulic phenomena in the upper plenum and the hot-leg piping system in Japan Sodium cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR) was developed in the previous studies. Since flow-induced vibration (FIV) in the hot-leg piping with the short elbow (curvature radius corresponds to diameter) is one of the targeted issues in this study, numerical estimation method for dynamic analysis of mechanical stress on piping has been developed successively. As the preliminary step in development of the fluid-structure mechanical interaction simulation method, time history response analysis of piping by using the time history data of fluid pressure obtained by the unsteady hydraulics simulation as its boundary condition was attempted. Through the numerical results, potential capability of the dynamic analysis of piping were confirmed and unsteady behavior of pipe due to the unsteady flow phenomena was analyzed.
