Simulation Exercise Using NETFLOW Code

Description
A general-purpose hydraulic network model was developed to determine the leak rate of sodium mass through various sections of the leak paths in the top shield. The numerical model was implemented in Python and named NETFLOW. The network model is useful for modelling arbitrary leak paths. The equations that govern the leak rate are based on force balance between flow resistance, inertia of sodium mass in various sections of leak paths, gravitational force, and upward force acting due to the quasi-static core bubble pressure.
