The last geometrical similarity condition can be relaxed depending on the de-<br />

gree of similarity required. For example, the transverse area condition is<br />

important only where the heat transfer is significant because the velocity<br />

simulation in adiabatic sections is not important. In terms of the axial<br />

length similarity condition, it is important that Eq. (54) is satisfied in<br />

the hot leg section such that the driving head is well simulated. When Eq.<br />

(54) is partially violated, it is very important that Eq. (23) is satisfied<br />

such that the fluid transient time over the entire loop is correctly simulated.<br />
