Description

Because of the special requirements for transient multi-channel BWR core hydraulics, a completely new numerical solution method for the basic thermal-hydraulic equations had to be developed. The new numerics resides in the module, BRAN, the basic hydraulics kernel of FIBWR2. The method is based on the integral momentum approach, and is fully explicit. This paper presents the BRAN numerical method, and describes results for several test problems
