3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

DYN3D/M2 is a computer code for calculating reactivity induced transients in light-water reactor cores with hexagonal fuel elements, including the initial steady state, in three-dimensional geometry. As results of the program, neutron fluxes and power distributions, thermo-hydraulics parameters of the coolant, fuel and cladding temperatures and some parameters for fuel rod failure estimation are given.
Boundary conditions from the primary coolant circuit (pressure, coolant flow rate and temperature) must be given as input.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

For solving the two-group neutron diffusion equation, a nodal expansion method in hexagonal geometry is used. In the hexagonal plane, an expansion of the neutron flux in a series of Bessel functions is made. Polynomials up to the 4th order are used for the approximation of neutron flux in axial direction. An exponential transformation technique is used for the time integration of neutron kinetics equations.
The thermo-hydraulic part of the code includes a one- or two-phase coolant flow model, a heat transfer regime map from liquid convection up to superheated steam, a fuel rod model including metal-water reaction as well as a simple estimation of mechanical behaviour and a lower plenum mixing model for WWER-440 type reactors. In the thermo-hydraulics model, implicit numerical solution techniques are used. A sophisticated time step control allows a wide range variation of time steps depending on the process behaviour.
A restart option can be used and an off-line analysis of results from extended output data files can be accomplished.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

In the main program  DYN3D/M2, three working arrays IARR, RARR and FTH are declared (two  of REAL type and one of INTEGER type). The necessary lengths of these arrays are problem dependent and can be estimated by rules given in the Code Manual. If the standard lengths (IARR: 25000, RRAR: 380000, FTH: 300000) are too small for the problem considered, the DIMENSION operator in the source file has to be changed.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

The sample problem with 190 spatial nodes took about 340 seconds of CPU time on the IBM 3090 computer. NEA 1411/01: The package was screened at the NEA/DB on a VAX 6000-510 computer under OpenVMS 6.1

8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

The neutron kinetics part of the code is based on the code HEXNOD23 also available from the NEA DATA  BANK. Moreover, a version DYN3D/M1 of the code exists, including 3D  neutron kinetics and a simple thermo-hydraulic feedback model. The program OUTGRA with subroutine REGRAF, source files of which are also delivered, can be used for off-line management of the output file and must be called separately.
