Computer code DAPSY for the calculation of pressure wave propagation in the primary coolant system of light water reactors

Description

For investigation of pressure wave phenomena in the primary coolant system it proved to be necessary to develop a computer code for the calculation of 3-dimensional single-phase and two-phase flow of water and steam. In order to avoid the severe difficulties of a 3-dimensional code an attempt was made to substitute the real geometry by the connection of one-dimensional flow paths to a pipe network. With such a pipe arrangement it is possible to apply known one-dimensional codes for the computation of the flow
