摘要
The density wave instability of supercritical water is an important criterion for SCWR thermal hydraulic design. This paper proposed a supercritical water density wave instability theoretical method based on the linear stability analysis used in subcritical parallel pipe density wave instability, combined with the method of secondary phase change theory for supercritical water. The calculation method was verified with the experiments, which suggested its reasonability. The method was used to analyze the effects of flow resistance, inlet temperature and pressure effect on flow instability. The research results showed that, the increasing of the inlet resistance or the decreasing of the outlet resistance could enhance the system stability. Compared with subcritical condition, the supercritical condition is less prone to flow instability. Copyright ©2021 Nuclear Power Engineering. All rights reserved.
