摘要

To perform an integral simulation of a pool-type reactor using CFD code, a multi-physics coupled code MPC-LBE for an LBE-cooled reactor was proposed by integrating a point kinetics model and a fuel pin heat transfer model into self-developed CFD code. For code verification, a code-to-code comparison was employed to validate the CFD code. Furthermore, a typical BT transient benchmark on the LBE-cooled XADS reactor was selected for verification in terms of the integral or system perfor-mance. Based on the verification results, it was demon-strated that the MPC-LBE coupled code can perform thermal-hydraulics or safety analyses for analysis for pro-cesses involved in LBE-cooled pool-type reactors.
