Title: Blowdown force analysis of piping system under LOCA conditions using BLOWDOWN code
Abstract: Abstract The BLOWDOWN code was developed for blowdown force analysis of piping system under LOCA conditions. This is a post-processor of the thermal-hydraulic analysis code RELAP4/MOD6. The results obtained from the RELAP4/MOD6 code are converted into blowdown forces by the BLOWDOWN code. In the paper, the physics and algorithms of the BLOWDOWN code are outlined. Some numerical examples are also presented to show the effectiveness of the code.
