U10MoVolumetricSwellingEigenstrain
Computes a swelling increment due to solid and gaseous swelling in U10Mo.
Description
U10MoVolumetricSwellingEigenstrain is used to model gaseous and solid fission product-induced swelling in U-10Mo fuel. Two options are available.
Automatic differentiation (AD) version is also available by adding the prefix AD to the name for the "type" parameter.
The
USHPRRoption is based on p. 169 of Rabin et al. (2020). Solid fission product swelling strain, iswhere is the fission density (fissions/m).
The gaseous fission product swelling strain, is calculated according to
The
Restoption is taken from Rest et al. (2006). Solid fission product swelling strain, is modeled according towhere is the fission density (m).
The gaseous fission product swelling strain, is calculated according to
These correlations were developed based on data with fission densities up to fissions m.
