Murphy, J H; Redfield, J A; Davis, V C

The FLASH-3 digital computer program, an improved version of FLASH-2, simulates severe transients in pressurized water reactor plants in which the variation of pressure is significant in both space and time. The program is specifically intended to treat the loss-of-coolant accident with emergency core cooling systems, but also can simulate decompression phenomena in pipes, water hammer effects, check valve slam, and general fluid network problems. The program is written in FORTRAN IV for the CDC 6600. (NSA 24: 11218)
