Description

This report includes a derivation of the complete momentum balance for inclusion in RELAP-3 and also describes some essential aspects of the methods used for transient hydro-dynamics calculations. Arguments are presented that show the inhearent weakness of the nodal method and the necessity of some additional improvements, besides a completed momentum balance, in these calculations
