Research on the Influence of Ocean Condition on the Oscillation in Parallel Double-Channel

In this paper, the flow oscillation in the parallel multichannel system has been studied under ocean condition with RELAP5/MC. A double-channel boiling system model is built using the code RELAP5/MC and it is proved to be capable of simulating the instable phenomena. The influences of rolling, heaving and inclination on the flow oscillation have been analyzed. The result shows that the effect of lengthways rolling on the oscillation in parallel channels can be ignored. The influence of athwartships rolling and heaving reveals resonance effect, that is, when the rolling cycle is close to the oscillation cycle and half cycle respectively, the oscillation would happen earlier, when the difference between the cycles is large, the impact of rolling can also be ignored. The influence of inclination on the oscillation in parallel channels is feeble.
