Abstract
The development of a thermal hydraulic analysis code that considers ship motion is important because it would adjust for additional motion effects that are not present in a land-based system analysis code. The TASS/SMR-S code, a one-dimensional system analysis code, was modified to predict the thermal hydraulic behavior of a nuclear reactor under the conditions of an ocean environment. To validate the improved TASS/SMR-S code, the calculation results were compared with the analytical solutions for a conceptual problem involving swaying, rolling, and compounded motions; experimental data were collected under inclination and rolling conditions. The modified TASS/SMR-S code exhibited good agreement with analytical solutions for the conceptual problem and experimental results obtained under ship motion conditions. In conclusion, the modified code was able to simulate thermal hydraulic behavior under ship motion conditions.
