摘    要:为进一步了解高温热管工作时工质钠的流动和分布情况,用有限容积法和Darcy理论数值模拟二级学院组合式吸液芯内液态金属钠的流动特性,根据模拟结果对液态金属钠流经组合式吸液芯的压力降、分布均匀程度、湍流动能和湍流耗散率进行分析。研究结果表明,随着液态金属钠的进口流速增大和组合式吸液芯中金属纤维毡厚度增大,液态金属钠在组合式吸液芯内的速度分布越不均匀;随着组合式吸液芯中金属纤维毡厚度减小,液态金属钠在其中的湍流动能和湍流耗散率越大;液态金属钠通过组合式吸液芯的压降随着进口流速的增大而增大,且进口流速相同时,液态金属钠经过金属纤维毡厚度越大的组合式吸液芯的压降越大。压降的数值模拟值与实验值的最大相对误差约为6.8%,说明本文数值模型的正确性。

Abstract: In order to further study the flow and distribution of liquid sodium in the high temperature heat pipe, flow characteristics of liquid sodium in the combined wick were simulated numerically using the finite volume method and Darcy model. The pressure drop, uniformity degree of velocity distribution, turbulent kinetic energy, and turbulent dissipation rate were analyzed according to the simulated results. The results show that the fluid velocity distribution in the combined wick gets more uneven with the increase of the inlet velocity of liquid sodium and the thickness of metal fiber felt. The less thickness of the metal fiber felt in the combined wick, the greater the turbulent kinetic energy and the turbulent dissipation rate of liquid sodium. The pressure drop of liquid sodium through the combined wick increases with the increase of inlet velocity. And when the same inlet velocity is applied, the pressure drop of liquid sodium through the combined wick gets greater with the increase of the metal fiber felt. The maximum relative error of pressure drop between simulated value and experimental value is about 6.8%, which explains that the numerical model is correct.
