Sumario:Structural-hydraulictestsoftheEuropeanIsotopeSeparationOn-Line(EURISOL)neutronconverter target mock-up,namedMErcuryTargetEXperiment1(METEX1),havebeenconductedbyPaulScherrer Institut(PSI,Switzerland)incooperationwithInstituteofPhysicsoftheUniversityofLatvia(IPUL, Latvia).PSIproceededwithextensivethermal-hydraulicandstructuralcomputationalstudies,followed by thetargetmock-uptestscarriedoutonthemercuryloopatIPUL. One ofthemaingoalsoftheMETEX1testistoinvestigatethehydraulicandstructuralbehaviour of theEURISOLtargetmock-upforvariousinletflowconditions(i.e.massflowrates)and,inparticular, for nominaloperatingflowrateandpressureinthesystem.Theexperimentalresultswereanalysedby advancedtime–frequencymethodssuchasShort-TimeFourierTransforminordertocheckthe vibration characteristicsofthemock-upandtheresonancerisk.Theexperimentalresults(obtainedin METEX 1),whichincludeinletflowrate,pressureofthecovergas,totalpressureloss,structural acceleration,soundandstraindata,werejointlyanalysedtogetherwithnumericaldataobtainedfrom ComputationalFluidDynamics(CFD).
