Analysis of the FATHER Experiment With an Engineering Method Devoted to High Cycle Thermal Fatigue

摘要: Nuclear power plants necessarily include connections of branches conveying fluids at different temperatures. Thermo-hydraulic fluctuations arising from the turbulent mixing flows may affect inner wall pipes and lead to fatigue damage. The FATHER experiment was carried out in order better understand this phenomenon High Cycle Thermal Fatigue (HCTF). aim paper is present an analysis with a simplified engineering method which used French nuclear industry identify classify zones presenting HCTF risk.Copyright © 2011 by ASME
