PowerPeakingFunction
Computes an axial power profile applied to the fuel from a third order polynomial.
Description
The PowerPeakingFunction computes an axial power profile by applying the y-position in the mesh to a third order polynomial. Two EBR-II specific correlations are provided, EBR-II_ROW_3, which can be used for test assemblies irradiated in Rows 1, 2, or 3, and EBR-II_ROW_4, which can be used for test assemblies irradiated in Rows 4, 5, and 6 (see reference (pending)). A custom polynomial fit can be provided as well. Automatic normalization can optionally be applied to the fit via the normalize input parameter.
The axial peaking factor, is calculated by the third order polynomial, (1) where the relative position of the function is computed via, Here, and correspond to the bottom-most and top-most locations of the function. The former is given via the input parameter pellet_y_start, and the latter is calculated as the sum of the input parameters pellet_y_start and pellet_length. These values typically correspond to the y-positions of the bottom and top of the fuel pellet, respectively, but can be used to extend past the fuel location. In addition, corresponds to the displacement of the pellet, and is passed as a PostprocessorName via top_displacement.
The normalized factor optionally included in Eq. (1) is calculated by enforcing the average of the axial power factor over the length from to to be one, and computed via,
A method to compute the cumulative distribution function is also provided via the input parameter cdf. This is calculated by taking the integral of the function from to the current axial location, ,
The input parameter zero_beyond_top_and_bottom can be used to optionally allow the function to be extended beyond and . Note that the normalization is still based on the and values, if zero_beyond_top_and_bottom=false, but,

# This example demonstrates how to loosely couple the metallic fuel constituent
# redistribution model provided by ADUPuZrPhaseLookup and ADUPuZrMobility to a
# thermo solve using the MultiApps system. This file contains the AD thermo
# solve. The composition solve is contained in 2d_composition.i, which is
# executed as a SubApp. The MultiApps system allows for use of different mesh
# resolutions and solver options. The problem simulates irradiation of
# Experimental Breeder Reactor II Fuel Element DP81. The predicted zirconium
# profile (X_Zr) can be compared to the experimental EPMA scan stored in
# (X_Zr_ref) [1]. This example runs in about 4 minutes on 2 processors using
# the Newton method.

# axial power profile vs y (or z axis in 2DRZ), and a correction factor dependent
# on the zirconium and plutonium concentration. The zirconium correction is given as
# a function of the current value of zirconium at the qp, and the axial profile of
# plutonium. Zirconium is moved along the pin using a dummy Soret kernel, assuring
# that the total zirconium in the system stays constant.
#
# Power conservation is ensured by comparing ElementIntegralPower and the linear

# This test is to verify the implementation of FissionRateHeatSource.
# The rod power, axial power, and axial plutonium profiles are given as functions.
# UPuZrFissionRate calculates the fission rate as a function of rod power vs time,
# axial power profile vs y (or z axis in 2DRZ), and a correction factor dependent
# on the zirconium and plutonium concentration. The zirconium correction is given as
# a function of the current value of zirconium at the qp, and the axial profile of
# plutonium. Zirconium is moved along the pin using a dummy Soret kernel, assuring
# that the total zirconium in the system stays constant.
#
# Power conservation is ensured by comparing ElementIntegralPower and the linear
# power profile.

# This tests UPuZrGaseousEigenstrainwithHotPressingPuSwelling, a swelling model for UPuZr metal fuel
# that allows for further expansion after UPuZrGaseousEignestrain has reached
# terminating porosity. Swelling is allowed to continue if the hydrostatic stress
# within the fuel is negative, and is allowed to shrink when the hydrostatic force
# exceeds the plenum pressure. Thermal stress and mechanical stress caused from FCMI
# is coupled in this example to provide a variable hydrostatic stress, which determines
# the creep rate within the fuel and compressibility of the fuel matrix.
#
# The swelling model is based on Eq. (13.146) in "Fundamental aspects of nuclear
# reactor fuel elements" by Olander.
#
# The fission gas that is released is based on an empirical model
# which states that once the gaseous swelling reaches a value of
# 0.33 (corresponding to a porosity of 0.24812), 80% of the fission gas so far
# produced is immediately released. After that, 100% of the gas produced is released.
# These values were changed to represent experimental EBR-II data within the gas_swelling block.
# For information regarding swelling and porosity, see the above reference or the
# following reference:
# Karahan A., Modeling of Thermo Mechanical and Irradiation Behavior of Metallic
# and Oxide Fuels for Sodium Fast Reactors, Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2009.
