Title: EVENT84 user's manual: a computer code for analyzing explosion-induced gas-dynamic transients in flow networks

Abstract

This manual supports the computer code EVENT84, which can predict explosion-induced gas-dynamic transients in flow networks. The code can model transients in any arbitrarily designated network of building rooms and ventilation systems. A lumped-parameter formulation is used. EVENT84 was designed to provide a safety analysis tool for he nuclear, chemical, and mining industries. It is particularly suitable for calculating the detailed effects of explosions in the far field using a parametric representation of the explosive event. The code input and a sample problem that illustrates its capabilities are provided.
