Numerical prediction of transient hydraulic loads acting on PWR steam generator tubes and supports during blowdown following a feedwater line break

This paper presents a numerical prediction of the transient hydraulic loads acting on the tubes and external supports of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) steam generator (SG) during blowdown following a sudden feedwater line break (FWLB). A simplified SG model was used to easily demonstrate the pre...
