Comparison of the calculation of HDR RPV-1 blowdown loads for test V32 with the experimental data
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6503957
Using the three-dimensional STEALTH/WHAMSE computer program, researchers calculated blowdown loads for HDR test V32 on a large-scale reactor vessel. The calculation, which compared well with test results, provides a good example of the predictive capability of the computer program. The program can be applied to nuclear and nonnuclear fluid-structure interaction problems.
