Numerical simulation of leakage flow field and acoustic characteristics for safety valve

摘要

Aiming at the internal leakage problem of spring type nuclear safety valve at the sealing surface, the flow field and sound field characteristics at the leakage height of 0.5mm between the valve disc and the valve seat sealing surface were studied, and the numerical simulation was carried out based on large eddy simulation(LES) and mohring acoustic analogy method, and compare the effects of acoustic wall pressure fluctuation(AWPF) and turbulent wall pressure fluctuation(TWPF) as the excitation source on the external sound field of the valve. The simulation results show that: the change gradient of velocity field and pressure field at the leakage port of safety valve is significant and form vortices of different sizes. The small-scale vortices are mainly in the leakage port, while the large-scale vortices mainly exist in the flow channel; When the valve is leaking, the noise is mainly dominated by high-pressure injection noise, its spectrum curve shows wide-band characteristics, and the external noise of the valve is mainly caused by AW P F. The above research results can provide a theoretical basis for the safety valve online detection method.
