Abstract
For the China Initiative Accelerator Driven System (CIADS), it includes three sub-systems: accelerator, spallation target, and sub-critical reactor. The sub-system of spallation target is an important component of the CIADS, which is coupled with the other two sub-systems. The proton beam from the accelerator with an energy of 250MeV and a current intensity of 2mA reacts with the nuclei of the lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE), approximately 0.5MW of heat is deposited in the target zone, which must be removed by circulating the LBE. To reach the goal, we carried out the study by using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT, to study the flow patterns and temperature distribution in the target zone. For these simulations, the heat transferred from the sub-critical reactor was taken into account. The results indicated that the heat deposited in the target zone can be removed safely.
