摘要
This article presents results of a 3D numerical analysis of the thermal and hydro dynamical processes which take place inside the fuel channel of the RBMK-1500 reactor during interaction between coolant and fuel assembly. The simulation was made using ANSYS CFX code in order to evaluate coolant's pressure, temperature, flow velocity and steam mass fraction changes at the distance grids (spacers) and at the heat transfer intensification grids (intensifiers) along and across the fuel channel. The obtained results help better to understand the processes which have a direct influence on the reactor safety. Information about the peculiarities of steam generation process inside the fuel channel (temperature change, pressure drop, flow velocity, steam mass fraction) enables to identify the most loaded points of the fuel channel.
