Numerical and experimental analysis on the non-uniform inflow characteristics of a reactor coolant pump with a steam generator channel head

Distorted inflow caused by the complex structure of the steam generator channel head (SGCH) occurs at the entrance to the reactor coolant pump (RCP) in the AP1000 system, which may generate impeller cracks and result in deterioration of performance and stability. In this paper, to analyze the influe...
