Description

A short summary is given on the so called thermal hydraulic system codes. Introducing this topic some elementary information is presented on thermal hydraulic phenomena occurring during accidents. Special attention will be paid to two-phase (gas-liquid) flow behavior and to the calculation of flows like that. The basic models of two-phase flow simulation is shown, and making use of the examples of SMABRE and CATHARE codes the main features of thermal hydraulic system codes are listed, including the basic equations, steps of code validation and verification and the cycle of code development strategy. In the conclusions an attempt will be made on the state-of-art description of the limitations and capabilities of thermal hydraulic codes. (author). 5 refs., 7 figs
