Description

This paper deals with the development of a computer code based on a generalized finite difference scheme for simultaneous solution of one dimensional, one fluid partial differential equations. The mass, momentum and energy equations at point nodes are used for this analysis. Comparison of this technique with contemporary mass centred control volume approach has been discussed. The method has been applied for validation to published experimental results. The results obtained with this method for analysis of a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) for a single ended rupture of the inlet cold header of Rajasthan Atomic Power Plant (RAPP) are presented
