ATHOS3: a computer program for thermal-hydraulic analysis of steam generators. Volume 2. Programmer's manual

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5579864
This is the programmer's manual for the ATHOS3 code. ATHOS3 is a computer code for three-dimensional, steady-state and transient analyses of PWR steam generators. It has been developed by upgrading an earlier code, ATHOS (Analysis of the Thermal Hydraulics of Steam Generators). The ATHOS3 code is designed for three-dimensional, steady-state and transient analyses of PWR steam generators. ATHOS3 has several additional capabilities, including a much improved and generalized geometry pre-processor module, and has been developed in a fully upwards-compatible manner from the predecessor ATHOS code. For the convenience of new users, the ATHOS3 code is documented in four self-contained volumes, i.e. no reference to the earlier ATHOS volumes is necessary. Furthermore, for the benefit of old (i.e. ATHOS code) users, it may be stated that the new (ATHOS3) documentation has been produced by updating and modifying the earlier documentation.
