Flow And Heat Transfer

The prediction of flow and heat transfer characteristics of liquid sodium with CFD technology is of significant importance for the design and safety analysis of sodium-cooled fast reactor. The accuracies and uncertainties of the CFD models should be evaluated to improve the confidence of the numerical results. In this work, the uncertainties from the turbulent model, boundary conditions, and physical properties for the flow and heat transfer of liquid sodium were evaluated against the experimental data. The results of uncertainty quantization show that the maximum uncertainties of the Nusselt number and friction coefficient occurred in the transition zone from the inlet to the fully developed region in the circular tube, while they occurred near the reattachment point in the backward-facing step. Furthermore, in backward-facing step flow, the maximum uncertainty of temperature migrated from the heating wall to the geometric center of the channel, while the maximum uncertainty of velocity occurred near the vortex zone. The results of sensitivity analysis illustrate that the Nusselt number was negatively correlated with the thermal conductivity and turbulent Prandtl number, while the friction coefficient was positively correlated with the density and Von Karman constant. This work can be a reference to evaluate the accuracy of the standard k-ε model in predicting the flow and heat transfer characteristics of liquid sodium.
