Hofmann, R

A useful computer simulation method based on the explicit finite-difference technique can be used to address transient dynamic situations associated with nuclear reactor design and analysis. An introduction to explicit finite-difference technology, the theoretical background (physical and numerical) a review of some explicit codes, a discussion of nuclear reactor applications, and a brief description of EPRI's STEALTH codes are presented. STEALTH computer code manuals are available which describe the numerical equations, programming architecture, input conventions, sample and verification problems, and plotting system. The STEALTH codes are based entirely on the published technology of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL), Livermore, California, and Sandia Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
