Abstract

The Sandia Ocean Modeling System (SOMS) (Dietrich et al., 1987) is not just one model but a modeling methodology to be applied in different modes (coarse or high resolution, boundary layers, with or without realistic topography, in a forecast or phenomenological mode, etc.) according to application requirements, hence its description as a modeling system. SOMS is applicable to a large range of geophysical flows from small lakes to large ocean basins. This document includes a description of governing equations and numerical methods and full details of the coding. Appendix A provides a complete listing of SOMS, including its movie-making modules. Appendix B presents the variables that appear in common blocks; this information is essential for a programmer intending to change the problem dimensions. Appendix C presents the results of a physical parameter sensitivity study. Appendix D presents results of a real ocean calculation.

SCDAP/RELAP5/MOD 3.1 code manual: User`s guide and input manual. Volume 3

Technical Report Coryell, E; Johnsen, E; Allison, C

The SCDAP/RELAP5 code has been developed for best estimate transient simulation of light water reactor coolant systems during a severe accident. The code models the coupled behavior of the reactor coolant system, core, fission product released during a severe accident transient as well as large and small break loss of coolant accidents, operational transients such as anticipated transient without SCRAM, loss of offsite power, loss of feedwater, and loss of flow. A generic modeling approach is used that permits as much of a particular system to be modeled as necessary. Control system and secondary system components are included to permitmore »« less

A one dimensional numerical model, with an application to the vertical distribution of dissolved oxygen in the ocean. Manual: M1D

Technical Report Eliason, D

This manual describes the one dimensional model M1D, and its application to the vertical distribution of dissolved oxygen in the ocean. Section 2 describes the partial differential equation upon which the model is based, and the required boundary conditions. Section 3 gives the finite difference equations used to approximate the partial differential equations, and the scheme used for their solution. In Section 4 a linear stability analysis of the finite difference equations is given. Section 5 describes the program M1D that implements the solution of the finite difference equations. The program description is done from a programmer`s point of view,more »« less

Mathematical Predictive Models for Cooling Ponds and Lakes. Part B. User's manual and applications of MITEMP. Part C. A transient analytical model for shallow cooling ponds. [MITEMP computer code]

Technical Report Octavio, K; Watanabe, M; Adams, E; ...

In Part B a computer code, MITEMP: M.I.T. Transient Temperature Prediction Model for Natural Reservoirs and Cooling Impoundments, is presented as a feasible and efficient tool for the prediction of transient performance of man-made impoundments. Particular emphasis is placed on waste heat dissipation from steam-electric power stations. The code allows the simulation of the physical regime (temperature and flow patterns) of impoundments as a function of design and for long time periods. The code contains the following elements: Natural Deep Lake and Reservoir Model; Deep Stratified Cooling Pond Model; Shallow Vertically Mixed Dispersive Cooling Pond Model; and Shallow, Vertically Mixedmore »« less
Repository Integration Program: RIP performance assessment and strategy evaluation model theory manual and user`s guide

Technical Report

This report describes the theory and capabilities of RIP (Repository Integration Program). RIP is a powerful and flexible computational tool for carrying out probabilistic integrated total system performance assessments for geologic repositories. The primary purpose of RIP is to provide a management tool for guiding system design and site characterization. In addition, the performance assessment model (and the process of eliciting model input) can act as a mechanism for integrating the large amount of available information into a meaningful whole (in a sense, allowing one to keep the ``big picture`` and the ultimate aims of the project clearly in focus).more »« less
