Abstract

In the hydraulically suspended passive shutdown assembly, in order to prevent the liquid suspension rod falling too fast and the outer tube from violent impact, it is necessary to study the way to increase flow resistance. This study added grooves to the wall of the narrow channel to increase its flow resistance. Using the RNG k-ε turbulence model in Fluent, the influence of the groove structure parameters and the Reynolds number on the flow resistance of the narrow channel was discussed to find the optimal groove structure parameters. The results showed that the flow resistance of the narrow channel increased with the increase in the concave–convex ratio, and when the concave–convex ratio was small, the flow resistance decreased with increased groove thickness, while when the concave–convex ratio exceeded a certain critical value, the flow resistance increased with increased groove thickness. Additionally, the growth rate slowed down when the concave–convex ratio was greater than 3:1. As the unit length decreased, the flow resistance first increased and then decreased. When the unit length was 6 mm, the flow resistance reached the maximum. With the increase in the Reynolds number, the intensity of the local high-turbulence kinetic energy clearly increased.
