Abstract

Abstract: Background

Mixing vanes are set on the spacer grids of bundle fuel assembly to promote the lateral mixing of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Hence, the lateral flow downstream of the spacer grids is an important element to measure its thermal-hydraulic performance.

Purpose

The study aims to tackle the challenge of measuring lateral flow using visualization method.

Methods

A telecentric optical system was employed in the particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurement to efficiently reduce the distortion of the image. In addition, the fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) tube was utilized as the matched-refractive-index material of the work fluid in the measurement area to minimize the focusing effect after the transparent rods and realize the uniform illumination of the whole section of the rod bundle. Calibration and lateral flow measurement were conducted to evaluate its performance.

Results

Experimential results show that the lateral flow and vortices can be well obtained on the whole cross section of the 5×5 rod bundle by PIV telecentric measurement.

Conclusions

The measured flow fields indicates that the dominant effect of the mixing vanes on the lateral flow 5D _h downstream and its effect decays further downstream.
