COMMIX-1AR/P: A three-dimensional transient single-phase computer program for thermal hydraulic analysis of single and multicomponent systems

Abstract

The documentationof thecomputerprogramCOMMIX-1AR/Phas been dividedinto four volumes, each addressing different aspects of the documentation process and written from different perspectives. A brief summaryof the four volumes is as follows: Volume 1: "Equations and Numerics" (ANL-90/45) Presents the basic equations, assumptions, finite-difference techniques, and solution methods. Volume 2: "User's Guide" (ANL-92/33) A step-by-step description of how to use the program, including an input guide and a sample problem. Volume 3: "Programmer's Guide" (ANL-92/34) D A description of each subroutine and variable, showing linkage among these and their relation to the equations and variables presented in Volume 1. Volume 4: "Verification and Validation" A collection of representative problems run on this computer program and a comparison of the results obtained to those from theory, experiments, and other computer programs. The normal user will primarily use the information in Volumes 1, 2, and 4 and will be using a controlled configuration of the program. Volume 3 is designed as a consolidated source of reference material for those involved in the program development effort.
