Le Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA) a en charge la conception d'un réacteur à neutrons rapides de quatrième génération.L'instrumentation neutronique de ce futur réacteur s'appuiera sur des chambres à fission placées en cuve. Ces chambres à fission à haute température (CFHT) devront fonctionner à pleine puissance à une température comprise entre 400°C et 650°C.Un bilan récent de la technologie CFHT a révélé que certains points sont à améliorer afin d'en garantir une plus grande fiabilité.En particulier, on recherche une meilleure compréhension du phénomène de décharges partielles. Celles-ci engendrent des impulsions non discernables de celles produites par les fragments de fission du dépôt fissile.Par ailleurs, elles pourraient accélérer le vieillissement des isolants minéraux.En s'appuyant sur une démarche expérimentale et théorique, ce travail de thèse a apporté plusieurs résultats.Les tests sur les différentes chambres à fission ont permis de caractériser les signaux de DP, vis à vis des signaux neutroniques et de trouver une méthode efficace de discrimination DP-neutron. De la même manière, les signaux DP ont été localisés et une solution technologique a été proposée et mise en oeuvre avec succès pour les éliminer.Un outil de calcul pour la simulation des impulsions neutroniques a été conçu et testé avec succès.Une expérience sur l'effet de la température sur la courbe de Paschen, dans un volume de gaz fermé, a été conçue et réalisée en donnant les premiers résultats intéressants. / The Commission for Atomic and Alternative Energy (CEA) is in charge of the fourth generation fast neutron reactor design. The instrumentation for neutron flux measurement of this future reactor will be based on fission chambers placed in-core. These high temperature fission chambers (HTFC) will have to operate at full reactor power, and thus at a temperature between 400°C and 650°C.A recent review of HTFC technology has revealed that some points need improvement to ensure greater reliability.In particular, a better understanding of the phenomenon of partial discharges (PD), which are observed in the fission chambers at high temperature, is needed. These PD pulses are indistinguishable from those produced by the products of fission caused by collision with neutrons with the fissile deposit within thechambers.In addition, they could accelerate aging of the ceramic insulators used in the chambers.Based on both experimental and theoretical approaches, this PhD work found several results.Tests on different fission chambers made it possible to characterize the DP signals vis-a-vis the neutron signals and to find an operational DP-neutron discrimination method. The DP signals were localized and a technological solution was proposed and successfully implemented to eliminate them.A calculation tool for neutron pulse simulation was also designed and tested successfully.An experiment on the effect of temperature on the Paschen curve, in a closed gas volume, was designed and carried out giving initial interesting results.

<p dir="ltr">New system-level codes are being developed for advanced reactors for safety analysis and licensing purposes. Thermal-hydraulics of advanced reactors is a challenging problem due to complex flow scenarios assisted by free jets and stratified flows that lead to turbulent mixing. For these reasons, the 0D or 1D models used for reactor plena in traditional safety analysis codes like RELAP cannot capture the physics accurately and introduce a large degree of modeling uncertainty. System-level calculation codes based on the advection-diffusion equation neglect turbulent fluctuations. These fluctuations are extremely important as they introduce higher-order moments, which are responsible for vortex stretching and the passage of energy to smaller scales. Alternatively, extremely detailed simulations with velocity coupling from the Navier-Stokes equations are able to capture turbulence effects accurately using DNS. These solutions are accurate because they resolve the flow into the smallest possible length and time scales (Kolmogorov scale) important to the flow, which makes DNS computationally expensive for simple geometries and impossible at the system level.</p><p dir="ltr">The flow field can be described through a reduced-order model using the principles of statistical mechanics. Statistical mechanics-based methods provide a method for extracting statistics from data and modeling that data using easily represented differential equations. The Kramers-Moyal (KM) expansion method can be used as a subgrid-scale (SGS) closure for solving the momentum equation. The stochastic Burgers equation is solved using DNS, and the DNS solutions are used to calculate the KM coefficients, which are then implemented as an SGS closure model. The KM method outperforms traditional methods in capturing the multi-scale behavior of Burgers turbulence. The functional dependencies of the KM coefficients are also uniform for several boundary conditions, meaning the closure model can be extended to multiple flow scenarios. </p><p dir="ltr">For the case of the Navier-Stokes equations, each particle trajectory tends to follow some scaling law. Kolmogorov hypothesized that the flow velocity field follows a -5/3 scaling in the inertial region where Markovian characteristics can be invoked to model the interaction between eddies of adjacent sizes. This law holds true in the inertial region where the flow is Markovian. For scalar turbulence, the scaling laws are affected by thermal diffusion. If a fluid has a Prandtl number close to one, the thermal behavior is dominated by momentum, so the spectra for velocity and temperature are similar. For small Prandtl number fluids, such as liquid metals, the thermal diffusion dominates the lower scales and the slope of the spectrum shifts from the -5/3 slope to a -3 slope, also called the Batchelor region. System-level thermal hydraulics codes need to be able to capture these behaviors for a range of Prandtl number fluids. The KM-based model can also be used as a surrogate for velocity or temperature fluctuations in scalar turbulence. Using DNS solutions for turbulent channel flow, the KM model is used to provide a surrogate for temperature and velocity signals at different wall locations in the channel for Pr = 0.004, Pr = 0.025, and Pr = 0.71. The KM surrogate matches well for all wall locations, but is not able to capture the viscous dissipation in the velocity signal, or the thermal dissipation in the low Prandtl number cases. The dissipation can be captured by implementing a Gaussian filter.</p><p dir="ltr">Statistical mechanics-based methods are not limited to modeling turbulence in a reactor. Renewable power generation, such as wind, can be modeled using the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) method, which allows the long-term trends and short-term fluctuations of wind power to be decoupled. This allows for large fluctuations in wind power to be scaled down to a level that a reactor can accommodate safely. </p><p dir="ltr">Since statistical mechanics methods are based in physics, the calculated coefficients provide some information about the inputted signal. In a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, strong heating can cause flow that is expected to be turbulent to show laminar characteristics. This laminarization results in reduced heat removal. The KM coefficients can be used to classify the laminarization from probed velocity signals more effectively than traditional statistical analyses.</p>

Die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und Potenziale des temperierten Innenhochdruck-Umformens mit flüssigen Wirkmedien (T-IHU) von Rohren aus verschiedenen Magnesium- und Aluminiumknetlegierungen werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit aufgezeigt. Neben der Werkstoff- und Halbzeugcharakterisierung, der Auslegung von temperierten Innenhochdruck-Umformanlagen und –werkzeugen, den Thermografiemessungen am Halbzeug unter Realbedingungen und der Verifizierung der Simulationsergebnisse des T-IHU-Werkzeuges war der inhaltliche Schwerpunkt die systematische experimentelle Bestimmung der maximalen Umfangserweiterung ∆u_max in Anhängigkeit von der Umformtemperatur ϑ_u, dem Werkstoff und der Wanddicke s₀ im Temperaturbereich von 22°C bis 300°C an drei Versuchsgeometrien T-Stück, Zylinder und Quader bei Innendrücken bis 800 bar. Neben dem Einfluss der Prozessparameter, der Werkstoff- und Halbzeugeigenschaften und der Ausgangswanddicke wurde der signifikante Einfluss der Umformtemperatur und der Umformgeometrie auf die erreichbaren Umfangserweiterungen herausgearbeitet und systematisch dargestellt. Es wurden Umfangsdehnungen von bis zu 120 % (bei ϑ_u = 300°C) erzielt. Die experimentelle Bestimmung der minimal auszuformenden Bauteilaußenradien erfolgte unter Anwendung der statistischen Versuchsplanung. Aus den Regressionsgleichungen wurde eine neue Berechnungsgleichung für den maximalen Innendruck p_imax generiert. Durch die Verifikation dieser Gleichung konnte die hohe Genauigkeit bei der Vorausberechnung des erforderlichen Innendruckes bei einem vorgegebenen minimalen Bauteilaußenradius R_min in Abhängigkeit von der Zugfestigkeit R_m als f (Umformtemperatur) und der Wanddicke s₀ nachgewiesen werden. Die Auslegung der T-IHU-Werkzeug- und Anlagentechnik kann damit wesentlich genauer er­folgen. Durch die Bauteilanalysen nach dem T-IHU-Prozess konnten die hohe Maß- und Formgenauigkeit und die hohe und gleichmäßigere Oberflächengüte nachgewiesen werden. Trotz der beginnenden dynamischen Rekristallisation lag bei allen Versuchswerkstoffen eine Erhöhung der Werkstofffestigkeit in der Umformzone vor. Bei den Untersuchungen bzgl. des T-IHU des Realbauteiles „PKW-Querträger vorn“ konnten die Kenntnisse der Grundlagenuntersuchungen auf ein komplex geformtes Realteil übertragen und erweitert werden. Es zeigte sich, dass der Einsatz von T-IHU-Magnesiumbauteilen ein erhebliches Potenzial für weitere Gewichtsreduzierungen von Leichtbaukonstruktionen besitzt. / This paper presents the potential applications of temperature-supported hydroforming of various magnesium and aluminium alloy tubes using active liquid media. It includes details of material and semi-finished product characterisation, the design of temperature-supported hydroforming equipment and tools, thermography measurements on the semi-finished product under real conditions and verification of simulation results for the temperature-supported hydroforming tool. The main focus, however, was the systematic, experimental approach to determining the maximum increase in perimeter ∆u_max as a function of the forming temperature ϑ_u, the material and the wall thickness s₀ in the temperature range 22°C to 300°C for three trial geometries (T‑piece, cylinder and cuboid) at internal pressures of up to 800 bar. In addition to studying the effect of process parameters, material properties, semi-finished product characteristics and initial wall thickness, the paper also presents the finding that forming temperature and forming geometry have a significant impact on achievable increases in perimeter. Perimeter expansions of up to 120 % were attained (at ϑ_u = 300°C). Statistically designed experiments were used to determine the minimum component outside-radii to undergo the forming process. A new equation for calculating the maximum internal pressure p_imax was generated from regression equations. By verifying this equation, it was possible to demonstrate the high level of accuracy in predicting the internal pressure required for a given minimum component outside-radius R_min as a function of the tensile strength R_m as f(forming temperature) and of the wall thickness s₀. This means that the temperature-supported hydroforming tool and system equipment can be designed far more accurately. Component analyses after the temperature-supported hydroforming process demonstrated the high level of dimensional and geometrical accuracy and the high quality and more consistent surface finish. Despite the onset of dynamic re-crystallisation, the strength of the material was increased in the forming zone in all the materials tested. The knowledge gained from researching the fundamental principles was applied to a real component with a complex shape in studies of temperature-supported hydroforming of the "front car cross-member", which provided further useful insights. It was found that the use of temperature-supported hydroforming magnesium components has considerable potential for further weight reduction in lightweight constructions.

Cette thèse se situe dans le cadre du projet ASTRID du CEA. La surveillance de la présence de gaz dans un RNR est importante pour son fonctionnement en toute sécurité. Cette thèse porte sur la détection et la caractérisation de présence de gaz par un débitmètre à distorsion de flux (DDF). Du point de vue technologique, l’objectif est d’évaluer la faisabilité de l’utilisation d’un DDF, et s’il est possible de mesurer le débit et le taux de vide simultanément avec un DDF. Du point de vue de la physique, le DDF mesure la perturbation du flux magnétique due aux courants de Foucault induits par l’hydrodynamique d’un écoulement de liquide conducteur. En présence de vide dans le conducteur, une nouvelle source de perturbation apparaît du fait de la modification, par le taux de vide, de la distribution du champ magnétique. En effet, la présence de vide agit sur les distributions locales de courants électriques dues au couplage des phénomènes d’induction et de forces de Lorentz. Notre objectif est de comprendre la nature de ces couplages et de proposer une méthode qui permette de caractériser la présence de vide à partir du signal de sortie du DDF, de mesurer le taux de vide et d’étudier la sensibilité de cette mesure aux variations des paramètres de l’écoulement et du champ électromagnétique (vitesse et pulsation, en particulier). Dans ce travail, des expériences spécifiques ont été développées pour étudier les effets de la vitesse, du taux de vide et de la pulsation du flux magnétique sur la réponse d’un DDF. Ces expériences modélisent un écoulement diphasique idéal (écoulement piston) consistant en une barre mobile d’aluminium contenant des trous et des cannelures pour simuler le taux de vide. Dans ces expériences la vitesse, le taux de vide et la pulsation sont parfaitement contrôlé et leur domaine de variations sont les suivants : 0<U<1 m/s pour la vitesse, 0< <6.9% pour le taux de vide et 1500<<12000 rad/s pour la pulsation (dans cette gamme de pulsations, on notera que la profondeur de pénétration du champ électromagnétique est de l’ordre de, mais plus petit que, le rayon du barreau d’aluminium). Une méthode d’ellipse-fitting appliqué au signal de sortie du DDF a été utilisée pour caractériser l’effet du taux de vide. Les résultats montrent que le DDF est sensible pour des fractions volumique de vide entre 0.3 % and 6.9% . En outre, la réponse aux variations de taux de vide est insensible à la vitesse du barreau. Cette technique est peu adaptée aux mesures des faibles taux de vide (< 0.1%). Une deuxième approche a été développée, sur la base de l’analyse du signal démodulé du DDF. Cette analyse s’appuie sur un modèle théorique du flux magnétique obtenu par un développement au 1er ordre par rapport à U et a. Ce modèle permet d’interpréter les résultats expérimentaux en termes de contributions de U et a au flux magnétique. Malgré le couplage fort entre l’induction Faraday et les forces de Lorentz, les résultats montrent que les contributions de U et alpha peuvent être séparées correctement pour des petites valeurs du nombre de Reynolds magnétique (Rem < 0.12), et de faible taux de vide ( < 6.9%). Un résultat très important est que la contribution de a sur le flux magnétique est insensible aux variations de vitesse dans cette gamme de Rem . De plus, l’effet de la géométrie du vide a été étudié pour deux configurations : cannelures et trous. Il a été observé que la géométrie du vide n’a pas d’effet sur les variations du flux magnétique avec a. Cette seconde approche est plus sensible aux variations de fraction volumique du vide que la méthode de l’ellipse-fitting. Enfin, des expériences préliminaires avec un liquide métallique (galinstan) contenant des perles de verre, ont été faites et ont montré une bonne sensibilité du signal du DDF avec la vitesse et le taux de vide. En conclusion, ce travail a montré qu’il est possible de mesurer simultanément un taux de vide et un débit pour la gamme de variations des paramètres étudiés. / A Generation IV Sodium cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) is being researched and developed at CEA, Cadarache France under the project named ASTRID. Monitoring gas presence in SFR is important with respect to its safe operation. In accordance with the principles of diversity, techniques based on different measurement principles have been proposed. This thesis concerns the detection and characterization of void using magnetic flux perturbation principle. An Eddy Current Flow Meter (ECFM) device is used for this purpose. From the technological point of view, the objective is to evaluate the feasibility of ECFM as a flow and/or void monitoring/characterizing device; and to determine which parameters are of interest and what are the precision of these measurements; and whether it is possible to measure the flow rate and void fraction simultaneously with the same ECFM device. From the physics point of view, the ECFM system involves the magnetic flux perturbation due to voids in the presence of Faraday induction and Lorentz force effects. Therefore ECFM integrated signal contains informations about the void, Faraday induction and Lorentz force effects based perturbation in magnetic flux and their couplings. Our objective is to understand the nature and extent of these couplings. Specific experiments have been developed to study the effects of flow velocity, void fraction and magnetic flux pulsations on the response of an ECFM. It consists in modeling the two-phase flow by a moving aluminium rod (plug flow) with holes and grooves to simulate voids. Flow velocity range of variation was 0<U<1 m/s, void fraction 0<<6.9% and pulsation 1500<<12000 rad/s (for this range of pulsations the electromagnetic skin depth is of order but smaller than the aluminium rod radius). An ellipse fitting method was proposed to analyze the output signal of the secondary coils. The results show that ECFM is sensitive to void fractions between 0.3 % and 6.9%. Furthermore, the response to void fraction is insensitive to the mean velocity of the twophase medium. A second approach based on demodulation analyses of the secondary coils output signal has been developed. We have proposed a theoretical model based on a first order expansion of magnetic flux in U and a. With this model it was possible to interpret the experimental results in terms of contributions of U and a. Despite the strong coupling between Faraday induction and Lorentz force effects, the results show that the contributions of U and a. can be well separated at low magnetic Reynolds number (Rem < 0.12) and low a values ( < 6.9%). A very important result is that the contribution of _ on magnetic flux is insensitive to variations of velocity in this range of Rem. Moreover, different geometries of void have been studied: grooves and holes. It was observed that the geometry of void do not change the variation of magnetic flux with a. This second approach revealed to be more sensitive to void fraction variations than ellipse fitting method. Finally, preliminary experiments with liquid metal galinstan with glass beads were done, which showed sensitivity of ECFM signal with velocity and void. In conclusion, this work has shown that ECFM can measure simultaneously void and velocity in the range of parameters studied, in particular 0.06%< < 6.9%.

Até cerca de 1988, os sistemas de segurança do reator recebiam alimentação de uma única fonte de energia. Nos anos de 1989 e 1990, uma reforma de modernização do sistema elétrico para aumentar a potência do reator e, também, para atender às normas técnicas da Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN) e da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT) foi realizada. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de mostrar a relação entre o sistema de energia elétrica e a segurança do reator IEA-R1. Além disso, ele demonstra que, caso ocorra alguma interrupção de energia elétrica durante a operação do reator, esta ocorrência não irá começar um evento de acidente. / Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

No. of bitstreams: 0 / Após o aumento de potência do reator IEA-R1 de 2 MW para 5 MW observou-se um aumento da taxa de corrosão nas placas laterais de alguns elementos combustíveis e algumas dúvidas surgiram com relação ao valor de vazão utilizada nas análises termo-hidráulicas. A fim de esclarecer e medir a distribuição de vazão real pelos elementos combustíveis que compõe o núcleo do reator IEA-R1, um elemento combustível protótipo, sem material nuclear, chamado DMPV-01 (Dispositivo para Medida de Pressão e Vazão), em escala real, foi projetado e construído em alumínio. A vazão no canal entre dois elementos combustíveis é muito difícil de estimar ou ser medida. Esta vazão é muito importante no processo de resfriamento das placas laterais. Este trabalho apresenta a concepção e construção de um elemento combustível instrumentado para medir a temperatura real nestas placas laterais para melhor avaliar as condições de resfriamento do combustível. Quatorze termopares foram instalados neste elemento combustível instrumentado. Quatro termopares em cada canal lateral e quatro no canal central, além de um termopar no bocal de entrada e outro no bocal de saída do elemento. Existem três termopares para medida de temperatura do revestimento e um para a temperatura do fluido em cada canal. Três séries de experimentos, para três configurações distintas, foram realizadas com o elemento combustível instrumentado. Em dois experimentos uma caixa de alumínio foi instalada ao redor do núcleo para reduzir o escoamento transverso entre os elementos combustíveis e medir o impacto na temperatura das placas externas. Dada a tamanha quantidade de informações obtidas e sua utilidade no projeto, melhoria e capacitação na construção, montagem e fabricação de elementos combustíveis instrumentados, este projeto constitui um importante marco no estudo de núcleos de reatores de pesquisa. As soluções propostas podem ser amplamente utilizadas para outros reatores de pesquisa. / Tese (Doutorado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/T / Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP
