Popis: Complete thermal-hydraulic and structural dynamic response analysis of piping systems subjected to a thermal hydrodynamic transient, such as a safety/relief valve (S/RV) opening, is a complex multi-step process. The four links of this analysis chain are thermal-hydraulic analysis, mechanical loads calculation, structural dynamics analysis, and transient thermal stress analysis. This paper presents summaries of the individual analysis steps, guidelines for the performance of these analyses, and a review of recent experimental versus analytical prediction comparison studies. Finally, research needs are discussed.
