3 Background Pump intakes Requires for an undisturbed long-term operation: avoidance of cavitation homogenous and non-rotational inflow avoidance of air entrainment unfavorable intake conditions lead to: fluctuating pump behavior vibrations, noise, mechanical damages decrease or collapse of flow rate Auckland et al Typical source of swirling or air entrainment surface vortices Wijdiek 1965 Surface vortices at pump intakes P. Pandazis et al. Investigation of Surface Vortex Formation at Pump Intakes in PWR 3
4 Background Surface vortices Surface vortices are generated by the pressure drop resulting from pump suction and disturbances in the approaching flow. Surface vortices can be classified in 6 types air core grows with decreasing submergence type 1 type 2: critical submergence Structure of the flow field: vortex core: strong rotation, large gradients free vortex region: almost potential flow. 1. Coherent surface swirl 2. Surface dimple free vortex 3. Dye core to intake 4. Vortex pulling floating trash, but not air vortex core 5. Vortex pulling air bubbles to intake 6. Full air core to intake Type 3 P. Pandazis et al. Investigation of Surface Vortex Formation at Pump Intakes in PWR 4
5 Background Surface vortices Avoidance of surface vortices sufficient submergence! Influence parameter on the critical submergence: suction velocity material properties circulation submergence no air suction critical submergence swirl in intake air inlet circulation Effect of vorticity on the submergence - Jain et al.

6 Background Pressurized Water Reactor LOCA in a PWR containment, (e.g. break in the primary circuit) SCRAM isolation of containment coolant loss through break, refill by: high pressure systems low pressure, emergency cooling systems (ca. < 10 bar) - flooding tanks - containment sumps long term recirculation via the containment sump ( after ca. 20 min. in case of a large break) sump break steam generator reactor pressure vessel pressurizer sump in a PWR containment enough amount of coolant reliable pump operation requirement of a minimum sump level (submerge of pump intake) e.g. for avoiding of surface vortices P. Pandazis et al. Investigation of Surface Vortex Formation at Pump Intakes in PWR 6
