摘要
In pipeline system of nuclear power station and thermal power station, high-pressure steam from upstream can accelerate movement of condensed water mass ( Slug) in pipeline, and produce violent impact force at non-continuous parts, such as, elbow, tee and valve to cause serious damage to pipeline, and affect safe operation of power station. Here, aiming at high-dimensional dynamic characteristics of pipe slug movement, CFD was used to perform 3-D numerical simulation study for movement and impact process of a single slug in an empty pipe with elbow, and compare the numerical simulation results with the physical experimental results in literature. The results showed that impact pressure time history curve and pressure peak value simulated with CFD agree well with the experimental results; based on theoretical analysis, 3 trends of pressure changes with time in impact process are proposed and discussed in detail, and their correctness is verified with numerical simulation; through analyzing time history change of slug length, slug mass shedding rate curve is obtained; based on transient impact velocity of slug obtained with numerical simulation, the simplified theoretical calculation method of impact pressure is verified, the theoretical calculation value basically agrees well with experimental and numerical simulation results, so the correctness of CFD numerical simulation and the rationality of the simplified calculation method of impact pressure are verified, they both have guiding significance in practical engineering application. © 2022 Chinese Vibration Engineering Society.
