Abstract:
This work describes the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results based on ATHAS(Advanced Thermal Hydraulics Analysis Subchannel) thermal hydraulic subchannel code, which is developed by Xi’an Jiaotong university. PSBT benchmark has been simulated with the ATHAS code, and the temperatures of subchannel outlets are selected as the output of interest. In addition, model inputs can be considered as following three categories, including geometric effect, boundary conditions and initial conditions. In this paper, local sensitivity and global sensitivity analysis are performed, respectively, also have compared their results. Local sensitivity analysis methods used in this work include OAT(one-factor-at-a-time), Latin Hypercube Sampling and rank correlation coefficient; Global sensitivity analysis used in this work include Morris screening and Sobol analysis, also implement their optimization plan. The global sensitivity analysis is compared with the local sensitivity analysis results, sensitivity parameters are basically consistent, except the interaction effect of input parameters. Furthermore, the results of this work indicate that under the uncertainty range of inputs parameter, geometric effect and boundary conditions has significant contribution to the uncertainty of the output, moreover, the most influential parameters in geometric effect and boundary conditions is pitch and inlet mass velocity, respectively. © 2019 American Nuclear Society.
