CladdingAxialPressureFunction
Computes the axial pressure applied to the cladding from the coolant and plenum pressure
Description
The CladdingAxialPressureFunction computes the axial pressure applied to the cladding as a function of the coolant pressure and plenum pressure. The coolant pressure is provided as a Function, while the plenum pressure is a Postprocessor. This is intended primarily for use with Layered1D or Layered2D and 2D Cartesian models, to be supplied to the generalized plane strain object. Cladding geometry is obtained from a FuelPinGeometry object. The axial pressure, is computed as: where and are the coolant and plenum pressures, and are the inner and outer cladding radius, respectively. is a scaling factor applied to the coolant function and should match the scaling factor applied in the coolant pressure boundary condition block. Positive values of the axial pressure correspond to compressive axial stresses in the cladding.

# This is a test of the CladdingAxialPressureFunction user object.
# The cladding has the following pertinent dimensions:
# r_inner = 0.00418
# r_outer = 0.00474
# When a coolant pressure of 1 is applied, the clad axial pressure should
# be r_outer^2 / (r_outer^2 - r_inner^2), or 4.4978.
# When a plenum pressure of 1 is applied, the clad axial pressure should
# be -r_inner^2 / (r_outer^2 - r_inner^2), or 3.4978.
# When both are applied, the clad axial pressure should be the summation of
# these, or 1.0.

# winding layer) and an outer monolithic layer. The inner composite layer is
# 0.75 mm thick and the outer monolithic layer is 0.25 mm thick. The internal
# layered1D mesh generator can model a clad an arbitrary number of additional blocks.
# Therefore, to create the multilayer SiC clad the composite layer is assigned to the
# clad block and the monolithic_layer is assigned to the monolithic_layer block

# This calculation originates in CASL, where there was a need to compute a fuel
# temperature table to be used in another application.
#
# The set of calculations done here through the 'examples' file can be visually
# checked by running './create_temp_table.py files.txt' and examining the
# raw_data.png file. The temperatures in the plot increase with increasing
# linear heat rate. At 15 kW/ft, it appears that the high power and centerline
# temperature cause a small gap and a relatively low rod average fuel
# temperature. If the centerline temperature is plotted instead, the expected
# increase in temperature with increase in linear heat rate is clear.
