Abstract
This report compares the results of the RELAP5/MOD2 analysis with experimental measurements.
A simulation of test LP-SB-03 was previously carried out at GDCD using the RELAP5/MOD1 code. RELAP5/MOD2 was developed from RELAP5/MOD1 and contains more sophisticated hydraulic models and constitutive relationships. Comparison of the RELAP5/MOD2 and MODI calculations show that RELAP5/MOD2 performs better than RELAP5/MOD1 in a number of key areas; notably mass errors are much reduced, there is improved numerical stability, and improved separator modelling and modelling of accumulator injection.
