Influence of Guide Vane Wrap Angle Key Design Parameters on Hydraulic Performance of Nuclear Reactor Coolant Pump

Abstract:

To study the effects of guide vane with different vane wrap angles and relative positions of outlet edge on hydraulic performance of nuclear reactor coolant pump, three-dimensional steady numerical simulations were performed by using CFD commercial software Numeca. The results show that the vane wrap angle changes the head and power characteristics by changing the relative velocity angle in vane outlet. The inner flow field changes while the wrap angle changes. With the wrap angle increases, the shock loss in volute is reducing, but the friction loss in vane passages is getting large. So there exists an optimum wrap angle and relative positions of outlet edge that corresponds to the highest efficiency of a pump. Numerical simulation is performed with the two key design parameters optimized through surrogate model, the internal flow field is improved and then the hydraulic efficiency is improved.
