移动背景介质下的三维中子输运算法研究

Study of 3D Neutron Transport Calculation with Moving Background Material

  • 摘要: 在极端工程问题的物理过程中,背景介质通常具有与中子相当的运动速率,因此必须考虑介质运动对中子输运的影响。严格考虑流场对粒子输运的影响是异常复杂的工作,通过引入适当近似所导出的具有守恒形式的中子-流场耦合输运方程可较好地捕捉到移动背景介质下中子输运行为的主要特征。基于SN方法对耦合输运方程的角度变量进行离散,并首次给出了三维柱坐标系下耦合输运方程双重角度再分布项的离散方案。基于所研究的方法,先后在稳态问题和瞬态问题中分析了背景介质运动对中子输运的影响。数值结果表明:当介质运动速率达到中子飞行速率的1/10时,背景介质运动对中子通量分布的影响不可忽略;背景介质运动对系统的临界性能有重要影响。

     

    Abstract: It’s necessary to consider the effects of moving material on neutron transport in some physical processes of extreme engineering problems, where the background material usually has comparable speed with the neutron. Strictly considering the effects introduced by the fluid is extremely complicated. Based on some simplifications, a conservative neutron-hydrodynamic coupling transport was derived, which could capture the main characteristics of neutron transport within moving background materials. The angular phase was discretized using the SN method. The discretization method of the double angular redistribution of the coupling transport equation was firstly implemented in the 3D cylindrical geometry. Based on this proposed method, the effects of the moving background material on the neutron transport were studied in the steady-state and transient calculations. Numerical results demonstrate that the effects introduced by background material motion cannot be neglected as the material speed starts to approach 1/10 of the neutron speed. Moreover, transient analysis indicates that the background material motion has a considerable impact on the criticality of a system.
