Title: EVENT user's manual: a computer code for analyzing explosion-induced gas-dynamic transients in flow networks

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6430269

This report contains supporting information for the computer code EVENT, which can predict explosion-induced gas-dynamic transients in flow networks. The code is capable of analyzing transients in any arbitrarily designated interconnections in a network of building rooms and ventilation systems. The EVENT code is designed to provide improved methods of safety analysis for the nuclear, chemical, and mining industries. A lumped-parameter formulation is used. This version of the EVENT code is particularly suitable for calculating the detailed effects of explosions in the far field using a parametric representation of the explosive event. The input for the code and a sample problem that illustrates the code's capabilities are provided.
