Calculation of temperature and humidity fields in massive constructions using the finite element method. [Prestressed concrete reactor vessels; SMART code]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7101395
The theoretical fundamentals of SMART 2 for the analysis of stationary and transient hygrothermal problems in heterogeneous continuums are described. The SMART (Structure Mechanical Analysis in Reactor Technology) consisting of SMART 1 for statistical calculations and SMART 2 for diffusion calculations, was developed on the basis of ASKA for the calculation of prestressed concrete reactor pressure vessels using the finite element method. One of the fields of applications is the heating or drying of thick walled prestressed concrete pressure vessels under special reactor conditions. The software package can also be used for the calculation of transport phenomena provided the diffusion law is valid.
