Abstract
3-D simulation of supercritical water flow instability in parallel channels and a natural circulation loop are presented. Results are obtained for various heating powers. The results show that, in the natural circulation loop the steady state mass flow will firstly increase with the heating power and then decrease. And mass flow grows with the growing of the inlet temperature, decreases with the growing of system pressure. Under a large heat flux, the parallel channels will experience the flow instability of out phase mass flow oscillation. And the oscillation amplitude will grow with the growing of heating power. At last, the numerical simulations are validated by B.T. Swapnalee’s experience formula.
