The INL experiments will examinegeneric flow features expected in the lower plenum of a typical Next Generation NuclearPlant (NGNP) concept. In designing the INL experimental model, a key question is howhigh the Reynolds number must be so that the basic plenum flow of the model will be in thesame regime as in an NGNP design. The objective of the USU experiments is to answer thisquestion for the particular geometry of the INL model and to develop benchmark databasesfor CFD (computational fluid dynamics) code assessment. A comprehensive article on the fluid and heat transfer behavior of large arrays of cylindershas been presented by Zukauskas [1]. In that work, he describes three primary regimesof behavior that depend on Reynolds number Re =UmaxD/v, presumably based on flowvisualization results: 1. Laminar flow (Re <1000) 2. Mixed flow, where the cylinder boundary layers are laminar, while the flow containsturbulent regions (5002×10) In the present work, we do not achieve Reynolds numbers in this turbulent range. Addition-ally, we are able to subdivide regimes 1-2. For these reasons, we will depart from Zukauskas’sregime definitions, but will relate our regime demarcations to his. 2Facility and Measurements The facility consists of a inlet contraction, a test section, and an outlet that connects toducting leading to the blower inlet as shown in Figure 1. Atmospheric air (at 4500 feet, Loganair pressure is nominally 0.85 atm) is drawn through the facility by a frequency-controlledcentrifugal blower (Cincinnati Fan SBP-15 series). The inlet contracts 1.4-1 in the spanwise direction and 3-1 in the cross-stream direction. Turbulence is managed by a single bank ofscreen with 44 wires per inch on the inlet.The flow leaving the test section flows throughtwo perforated plates placed in line to prevent separation and to suppress separation and anypulsations generated by the blower. The blower is connected to the outlet by a flexible hose.The effectiveness of the turbulence management is confirmed through hot wire measurementsat y= z = 0 (the span-wise and cross-stream center) and at the inlet of the test section.The rms level of the hotwire velocity magnitude signal varies from a minimum of 1.1% ofthe mean velocity magnitude at low velocity up to 1.5% at the highest velocity; for theultimate application, a“low” turbulence level is not expected. The hotwire is calibrated ina dedicated calibration facility prior to the measurement. A third order polynomial is least-square fit to the calibration data and used to convert the bridge output voltage to velocity.Data are recorded with the same data acquisition system used for the pressure measurementsdescribed below. The test section is a channel 35.3 inches long in the streamwise direction (x), 3.36 inchesin the cross-stream direction (y) and 13.7 inches in the spanwise (z) direction and is geo-metrically similar to the proposed INL model. The channel contains an array of cylindersand half cylinders designed to mimic an infinite array of cylinders arranged on an equilateraltriangular pitch. Five cylinders, which represent vertical support posts in the lower plenumof an NGNP concept, are in placed on the cross-stream centerline. The streamwise distancebetween these cylinders is 5.83 inches. The cylinders are 1.98 inches in diameter. Four sets ofhalf-cylinders are placed on the cross-stream edges directly between the centerline cylinders.A schematic diagram of the test section along with the coordinate system employed is givenin Figure 1. The primary geometric dimensionless parameter that describes this arrangement is thedimensionless cylinder pitch, P/D, where P is the distance between adjacent cylinders (andequal to the channel width, 3.36 inches) and D is the cylinder diameter. Therefore, P/D=1.7. An additional parameter is the spanwise dimension relative to the cylinder diameter,H/D=6.9, which corresponds to the approximate height of the lower plenum represented. Two types of measurements are made: 1. The pressure drop from each centerline cylinder to the next Figure 1:The test section used in this study.Air enters through screens at the left, into acontraction and into the test section. 2. The velocity field on the x -y plane centered on the 4th cylinder Pressure taps are drilled into the back wall of the facility.The pressure taps are holes0.0625 inches in diameter. Care is taken to ensure that the wall is smooth after drilling.All taps are placed at the spanwise centerline and are at the same streamwise position asthe axis of the full cylinders. The pressure measurements are made using a high-accuracydifferential capacitance manometer (MKS Baratron Model 698A12TRA,100mmHg full scale)with 0.0001 mm Hg resolution.. This resolution is the major source of uncertainty in thepressure measurements. The positive and negative sides of the manometer are placed acrossthe two successive ports. For each cylinder at each Reynolds number, data are recorded viaa 12-bit digital to Analog converter in a laboratory computer. The average of samples takenover 30 seconds is reported. The PIV measurements are made using a system by LaVision Inc. consisting of a 12-bit1.3-MPixel (1280 × 1040) camera, a pair of 50 mJ Nd:YAG lasers with sheet optics, andan acquisition PC including a frame grabber and a timing board. A florescent paint wasapplied to all surfaces to shift laser reflections to wavelengths that can be removed by a filteron the camera optics. The laser sheet enters the facility from one cross-stream side madeof transparent plastic and was terminated on the other opaque side. The sheet is placed inbetween the spanwise centerline and the spanwise wall as a compromise between our desire toobtain 2-D mean data and to minimize the extent of the region near the cylinder surface thatcannot be observed due to parallax. Olive oil droplets formed by a Laskin nozzle apparatus(built in house) are used as seeding particles.The droplets produced are estimated to be 1-2 um in diameter. The droplets are drawn into the facility at the inlet. Care was taken toensure that the images of the droplets on the CCD array were somewhat larger than 2 pixelsto eliminate pixel locking while providing maximum accuracy [2]. Multiple cross-correlationpasses with a final spot size of sixteen pixels are used. In each case, 500 image pairs areacquired at a rate of one pair per second. An example of one image is shown in Figure 2. Several features of this raw-data imageshould be noted: The data are acquired centered on the fourth cylinder, since this was judgedto be the most likely location to obtain a streamwise-periodic result. Streamwise periodicityis confirmed by the pressure drop data below as well as a single case measured on the thirdcylinder (not shown). The half cylinders upstream and downstream are visible on both sidesof the channel. Both channel walls are easily found, and these locations are used for the PIVcalibration since this distance is known. Thelaser sheet is blocked by the lower half-cylinders,but expands somewhat as it crosses the channel. The laser sheet is also blocked by the opaquecenterline cylinder, forming a shadow on the far side of the channel. The shadow appears tobe less wide than the cylinder. This situation occurs because the view of the surface of thecylinder is obscured by the part of the cylinder between the laser sheet and the camera lens.That is, due to the placement of the camera in line with the center of the cylinder, the anglesubtended by the cylinder end is greater than the angle to the intersection of the cylinderand the light sheet further along. Therefore, the boundary layer of the cylinder is not visible.This effect is reduced by placing the laser sheet four inches from the spanwise center towardsthe side close to the camera. The PIV data were first acquired with the blower outlet open and the blower operatingin between its minimum and maximum rotation rate. Reynolds numbers in the range 1473 200,000). Based on the results of [1]. The pressure drop results are shown in Figure 4 for the range of Reynolds numbers overwhich they are within the resolution of the pressure transducer. The first subscript refers tothe cylinder (and pressure tap) at which the positive side of the pressure sensor is attached,while the second subscript refers to the cylinder where the negative side is attached (seeFigure 1).. The transducer resolution is indicated with error bars (and is provided in thetabulated data in the columns labeled a). The loss from the first cylinder to the secondis consistently much lower than the losses across the remainder of the cylinders, which aresimilar to one another. At low Reynolds numbers, the data lie directly between the resultsfrom [1] for P/D values just above and below that used here, as expected. At larger Re (inthe mixed, turbulent regime), the present data exhibit smaller losses than the infinite arrayof [1]. It may be that the presence of the cross-stream walls in the present case suppresseswake oscillations and thus inhibits losses. Profiles of several quantities on a line midway between the centerline cylinder and thehalf cylinders downstream (see Figure 1) are presented. These data are also provided in theAppendix. The time-averaged profiles of the streamwise and cross-stream components (Uand V, respectively) are shown in Figures 5 and 6, respectively. All of the regimes describedabove are represented. Starting with the streamwise component, in each case, the velocitypeaks on either side of the centerline cylinder, and reverse flow is present in the cylinder wakein the center of the channel. Generally, as the Reynolds number is increased, the magnitudeof peaks decreases as the peaks become broader. The wake deficit also becomes smaller, mostnotably for the highest two Reynolds numbers. In fact, the wakes for these two cases showno reverse flow at this streamwise location. For the largest Reynolds number (55,900) thepeaks have moved toward the centerline considerably, and the shape of the peak is modifiedcompared to lower Re values. 义 Re Figure 4:: Pressure losses represented by minor loss factors.Solid and dashed lines representgraphical correlations from Zukauskas [1] (his Figure 64) for equilateral triangle arrays with P/D=1.5 and 2.0. y/P Figure 5: Cross-stream profiles of the mean streamwise velocity for a range of Reynolds numbers.Every third data point is shown. The acronyms in the legend denote the flow regimes. In the cross-stream component profiles (Figure 6), all cases with Re ≤2620 have a flatregion of near zero cross-stream velocity in the wake. The largest two Reynolds numbersexhibit a continuous variation ofV in the wake, indicating that this measurement is down-stream of the recirculation region for these two cases. This is confirmed below in Figure10. The five regimes outlined above are visible in profiles of the two-dimensional version ofturbulent kinetic energy TKE= 1/2(u’u’+u’) normalized by Uave (Figure 7). At Re =237, the TKE is near zero (as expected for laminar flow) except near y/P=0.25;this apparent peak has been traced to problems with seeding nonuniformity for this very lowvelocity. Regions with little or no seeds can produce erroneous vectors which impact TKEstrongly. As Re is increased, the uniformity of the seeding improves. It should also be noted y/P Figure 6: Cross-stream profiles of the mean cross-stream velocity for a range of Reynolds numbersrepresenting the flow regimes. Every third data point is shown. The acronyms in the legend denotethe flow regimes y/P Figure 7: Cross-stream profiles of normalized TKE for a range of Reynolds numbers representingthe flow regimes. Every third data point is shown/. that this peak is not present for larger Re values within the steady laminar range (not shown).The fluctuation in the wake position in the unsteady laminar range leads to elevated TKElevels compared to the steady laminar case. The fluctuations are not symmetric above andbelow the cylinder-a tendency that continues to higher Reynolds numbers. In the mixedpartially-turbulent regime, the peaks of TKE are at a similar location as in the unsteadylaminar regimes, but normalized TKE levels are higher. The normalized TKE levels aremaximum at the low Re end of the mixed turbulent regime, and become smaller as Re isincreased. Interestingly, locations of these peaks then begin to move away from the centerlinefor the two highest Re values. This may be due to the reduction in the size of the recirculationregion discussed below with respect to Figure 10. Contours of the stream function w (U =0w/8y, V=-0w/0c) at even incrementsare presented in Figure 8. Each contour increment represents 2.3% of the total flow rate.Given the equal contour spacing, the flow rate between any two streamlines is the same.However, computation of the streamfunction requires integration across the data making the above plots subject to propagated error from erroneous vectors near the edges of thedata. These errors appear as “wrinkles”in the contours. For this reason, these plots are notuseful for quantitative results such as determination of the length of the recirculation regionsdownstream of the cylinders.The regions occupied by the cylinder and half cylinders areshaded dark grey. Other regions where data are not acquired due to shadows or parallaxare shaded a lighter grey. The differences between the streamline patterns for the variouscases are subtle. In fact, the patterns are nearly identical until the mixed turbulent regime isreached. At such Reynolds numbers, the size of the wake begins to decrease with Reynoldsnumber. One item revealed by these data that cannot be detected in streamline plots is thatthe flow rate within the wakes of the wall-mounted half-cylinders is larger than that behindthe centerline cylinder. Streamline plots (lines drawn parallel to the velocity vector) cannot provide informationabout the velocity magnitude.However, it is possible to accurately find the stagnationpoint that represents the edge of the recirculation region from such plots. An example of astreamline plot is shown in Figure 9. The extent of the recirculation region downstream ofthe full cylinder as well as the half cylinder below and upstream of it are shown in Figure10. Interestingly, the numerical data of [5] for an array of equally-spaced staggered cylinderswith spacing P/D=2 and 3 lie below and above the present data.
