Abstract
The present paper deals with the modal analysis of a nuclear with fluid-structure interaction effects. In a previous study, added mass and added stiffness effects due to fluid-structure interaction were modeled and studied. A dynamic analysis was performed for a seismic excitation, i.e. in the low frequency range. The present study deals with high frequency analysis, i.e. taking into account compressibility effects in the fluid problem. Elasto-acoustic coupling phenomena are studied and described in the industrial case. The elasto-acoustic coupled problem is formulated using the displacement/pressure-displacement potential coupled formulation which yields symmetric matrices. A modal analysis is first performed on the fluid problem alone, with a calculation of acoustic eigenfrequencies and the corresponding modal masses. A modal analysis is then performed for the coupled fluid-structure problem in the case of an incompressible fluid and a compressible fluid at standard pressure and temperature conditions and for a compressible fluid at the operating pressure and temperature conditions. Elasto-coupling effects are then highlighted and discussed.
