WHAM6; liquid-filled piping system analysis. [IBM360,370; CDC6600,7600; FORTRAN IV and BAL (IBM360), FORTRAN IV (CDC7600)]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6343277

WHAM6 is used to calculate pressure and velocity transients in liquid-filled piping networks. It can be applied to multiloop complex piping networks consisting of dead ends, elbows, orifices, multiple-branch tees, changes of flow passage cross section, check valves, pumps, pressurizers or tanks, and exit valves or breaks. Hydraulic losses are considered. Transients can be initiated either by closure or opening of one or more exit valves (equivalent to system ruptures) or by a prescribed gas pressure history in a pressurizer tank.IBM360,370;CDC6600,7600; FORTRAN IV and BAL (IBM360), FORTRAN IV (CDC7600); OS/360,370 (IBM360,370), SCOPE 2.1.3 (CDC7600); 480K bytes of memory (IBM370/195), 101,000 (octal) words (CDC7600).
