UO2VolumetricSwellingEigenstrain
Computes and sums the change in fuel pellet volume due to densification and fission product release. This class applies a volumetric strain correction before adding the strain from this class to the diagonal entries of the eigenstrain tensor.
Description
Swelling due to solid fission products, gaseous fission products, and densification all contribute to the change in volume of a UO fuel pellet. The contributions from all three of these components are modeled in UO2VolumetricSwellingEigenstrain.
Densification of the Fuel
Fuel densification is computed using the ESCORE empirical model (Rashid et al., 2004) given by: where is the densification strain, is the total densification that can occur (given as a fraction of theoretical density), Bu is the burnup, and Bu is the burnup at which densification is complete. (1) In Eq. (1) the variable for temperature, , is defined in Celcius. Note that the parameter given in Rashid et al. (2004) for temperatures below 750C; the values in Eq. (1) are used in BISON to eliminate the discontinuity in .
Application to MOX Fuel
In MATPRO (Allison et al., 1993), the same model is provided for UO and MOX. Because this correlation relies on a wide database, this model is also used in BISON for MOX densification.
Fission Product Swelling
Empirical relations from MATPRO (Allison et al., 1993) are available in BISON for calculating the swelling due to both solid and gaseous fission products. The same model is provided for both UO and MOX.
Solid fission product swelling is expressed as a simple linear function of burnup: where is the volumetric solid swelling increment, Bu the burnup increment (fissions/atoms-U), and is the density (kg/m).
Swelling due to gaseous fission products is approximated by a semi-empirical model: where is the volumetric gas swelling increment, and are the burnup and burnup increment (fissions/atoms-U), respectively, is the density (kg/m) and is the temperature (K).
Figure 1: UO gaseous and total swelling, as a function of temperature and burnup, based on the MATPRO correlations.
Figure 1 shows a plot of the gaseous and total fission product swelling as a function of temperature and burnup. The MATPRO correlations (Allison et al., 1993) indicate that gaseous swelling does not become significant until above 1500 K and is saturated at a burnup of 20 MWd/kgU.
Alternatively the gaseous fission product swelling can be calculated using a physics-based model that takes into account the coupling with the fission gas release (see UO2Sifgrs ).

# Test of combined swelling and densification (1000K) with scaling factors on
# the solid and gaseous swelling strain components. These scaling factors are
# available for calibration and sensitivity analyses.
#
# In this test the burnup of the fuel is increased from 0 to 0.05 FIMA. The
# correct use of scaling factors on both the solid and gaseous swelling strains
# is verified by comparing the gas_swelling and solid_swelling columns in the

# Both the gaseous swelling strain and solid swelling strain should be 1.2 times
# the value in the table above. The volumetric swelling strain in both cases is
# the sum of the densification, gaseous swelling and solid swelling strains:
#
# deltaV/V = densification strain + gaseous swelling strain + solid swelling strain

(test/tests/sifgrs/uo2/swelling_porosity.i)
# This test is for the fuel swelling and porosity computation in the Sifgrs fission gas behavior model for UO2.
# As complementary to the fission gas release process, the fission gas swelling is related to gas retention in the fuel in the form of bubbles. Through a direct description of the gas bubble development, the fission gas swelling and release are modeled as inherently coupled processes, on a physical basis. Only the fission gas swelling due to grain-face bubbles is considered.
# In a comprehensive treatment of fission gas release and fuel swelling, Sifgrs also incorporates empirical models for the swelling due to solid fission products and the fuel densification.
# Moreover, the different contributions to fuel porosity, namely, those due to fabrication pores, gas bubbles (thus associated with fission gas swelling) , and sintering (densification), are computed consistently with the swelling calculations. Then, the fuel total porosity in each mesh location can be tracked (auxkernel PorosityAuxUO2), and considered in the computation of other relevant material properties like the fuel thermal conductivity (material model UO2Thermal).
# This test aims at demonstrating the above model capabilities. The considered case involves a single-element cubic domain, constant temperature (1400 K) and fission rate (1e19 f/(m**3s)), and a irradiation time of 1e8 s. The Sifgrs model is adopted for calculating the fission gas release and fuel swelling. Starting from a typical as-fabricated value of 5%, the fuel porosity evolves consistently with the swelling. The fuel thermal conductivity is calculated as coupled with porosity, which allows taking into account the conductivity degradation due to progressive increase of gaseous porosity (see also the attached file regression_tests_sifgrs.xlsx).

(test/tests/meso_thcond_test/sifgrs_swelling_fissiongas.i)
# This test is for the fuel swelling and porosity computation in the Sifgrs
# fission gas behavior model for UO2 (UO2Sifgrs).
# As complementary to the fission gas release process, the fission gas
# swelling is related to gas retention in the fuel in the form of bubbles.
# Through a direct description of the gas bubble development, the fission
# gas swelling and release are modeled as inherently coupled processes, on a
# physical basis. Only the fission gas swelling due to grain-face bubbles is
# considered.
# In a comprehensive treatment of fission gas release and fuel swelling, Sifgrs
# also incorporates empirical models for the swelling due to solid fission
# products and the fuel densification.
# Moreover, the different contributions to fuel porosity, namely, those due to
# fabrication pores, gas bubbles (thus associated with fission gas swelling),
# and sintering (densification), are computed consistently with the swelling
# calculations. Then, the fuel total porosity in each mesh location can be
# tracked (auxkernel PorosityAuxUO2), and considered in the computation of
# other relevant material properties like the fuel thermal conductivity
# (material model UO2Thermal).
# This test aims at demonstrating the above model capabilities. The considered
# case involves a single-element cubic domain, constant temperature (1400 K)
# and fission rate (1e19 f/(m**3s)), and a irradiation time of 1e8 s. The
# Sifgrs model is adopted for calculating the fission gas release and fuel
# swelling. Starting from a typical as-fabricated value of 5%, the fuel
# porosity evolves consistently with the swelling. The fuel thermal
# conductivity is calculated as coupled with porosity, which allows taking
# into account the conductivity degradation due to progressive increase of
# gaseous porosity (see also the attached file regression_tests_sifgrs.xlsx).

(test/tests/sifgrs/uo2/transient_model.i)
# This is a test for the transient capability included in the Sifgrs fission gas behavior model.
# This transient treatment accounts for the rapid gas release from the grain boundaries due
# to micro-cracking during temperature transients. The effect of micro-cracking is interpreted
# as a reduction of the gas storing capacity of grain boundaries during transients,
# effectively leading to an increase of FGR and to a corresponding decrease of fission gas swelling.
# The fraction of cracked grain surface is described by a temperature-dependent sigmoid function,
# which reproduces the experimentally observed kinetics of gas release during both heating and
# cooling transients.
# The transient is composed of 5 phases:
# 1. build up of fission gases and burnup accummulation at constant temperature
# 2. heat up representative of a transient (micro-cracking during heating)
# 3. constant high temperature (healing)
# 4. cool down representative of a transient (micro-cracking during cooling)
# 5. constant low temperature (healing)
# The calculated FGR rapidly increases during the transients, and the fission gas swelling decreases correspondingly.
# This test can be adapted using transient_option = MICROCRACKING_BURNUP in UO2Sifgrs.
# The resulting test leverages the option for considering a burnup-dependent central temperature, which accounts
# for the gradual weakening of grain boundaries due to irradiation-created defects.

(test/tests/sifgrs/uo2/ad_swelling_porosity.i)
# This test is for the fuel swelling and porosity computation in the Sifgrs fission gas behavior model for UO2.
# As complementary to the fission gas release process, the fission gas swelling is related to gas retention in the fuel in the form of bubbles. Through a direct description of the gas bubble development, the fission gas swelling and release are modeled as inherently coupled processes, on a physical basis. Only the fission gas swelling due to grain-face bubbles is considered.
# In a comprehensive treatment of fission gas release and fuel swelling, Sifgrs also incorporates empirical models for the swelling due to solid fission products and the fuel densification.
# Moreover, the different contributions to fuel porosity, namely, those due to fabrication pores, gas bubbles (thus associated with fission gas swelling) , and sintering (densification), are computed consistently with the swelling calculations. Then, the fuel total porosity in each mesh location can be tracked (auxkernel PorosityAuxUO2), and considered in the computation of other relevant material properties like the fuel thermal conductivity (material model UO2Thermal).
# This test aims at demonstrating the above model capabilities. The considered case involves a single-element cubic domain, constant temperature (1400 K) and fission rate (1e19 f/(m**3s)), and a irradiation time of 1e8 s. The Sifgrs model is adopted for calculating the fission gas release and fuel swelling. Starting from a typical as-fabricated value of 5%, the fuel porosity evolves consistently with the swelling. The fuel thermal conductivity is calculated as coupled with porosity, which allows taking into account the conductivity degradation due to progressive increase of gaseous porosity (see also the attached file regression_tests_sifgrs.xlsx).

(examples/TRISO/accident_simulation/triso1D_accident.i)
# This example is 1D spherical analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.
# This is a version using an interface kernel to model gap mass transfer.
# Sorption constants are given in Table 1 of the following article: A.
# Londono-Hurtado, I. Szlufarska, R. Bratton and D. Morgan, "A review of
# fission product sorption in carbon structures", Journal of Nuclear

# This example is 2D-RZ analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,

# @Requirement F2.20
# Test of combined swelling and densification (1000K) with scaling factors on
# the solid and gaseous swelling strain components. These scaling factors are
# available for calibration and sensitivity analyses.
#
# In this test the burnup of the fuel is increased from 0 to 0.05 FIMA. The
# correct use of scaling factors on both the solid and gaseous swelling strains
# is verified by comparing the gas_swelling and solid_swelling columns in the
# postprocessor tables from the swelling.i test in this directory shown below:

# To the postprocessor columns from this test illustrated in the next table.
# Both the gaseous swelling strain and solid swelling strain should be 1.2 times
# the value in the table above. The volumetric swelling strain in both cases is
# the sum of the densification, gaseous swelling and solid swelling strains:
#
# deltaV/V = densification strain + gaseous swelling strain + solid swelling strain
#
# which is verified by the volumetric swelling strain column. The results in the
# table verify that a scaling factor of 1.2 on both solid and gaseous swelling
# strain components is working correctly.

# 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.

(examples/restart/Quad8.i)
# This is a single pellet version of the BISON example problem.
# Use it to learn about the restart capability.
#
# Here's a step-by-step example of what you should do to use the restart capability:
#
# Run the simulation out to 40 time steps:
#
#
# Tweak inputQuad8.i as needed. For example, extend the end time, introduce a power blip at the end, or...?
# Then, run again using the --recover option and the recover directory that was created in the previous step
#
# ~/projects/trunk/BISON/BISON-opt -i inputQuad8.i --recover inputQuad8_out_cp/0040 (again, you can redirect or not here)
#
#
# Look at the exodus file in a post processing program (like Paraview) and see if it did what you intended.
#
# An example of why you might want to do this is if you have a simulaiton that runs fine out to 40 time steps, but gets into trouble afer that. You could run the simulation out to 40 time steps, then experiment with changes to the input file that may help the simulation converge. It would obviate the need to run the simulation throught the "easy" part over and over again, thus saving you time.
#
# Send questions to the BISON Users mailing list, or [email protected]
#
# As a supplement to this example, also included is a restart.sh script that Jason Hales wrote to test restart.
# The first thing the script does is to run the simulation as you would normally.
# It copies the output file to a 'gold' file.
# Then, it runs the simulation again, but it specifies the numer of checkpoint files and the number of steps (fewer number of steps than specified in the input file).
#
# Using information from this shortented run, the script kicks off another simulation using the --recover option, which
# uses the result at the end of the shortened run as a starting point.
# The script then compares the two exodus files. One from the original (non restarted 'gold' run) and the one from the restart.
#
# That script is included as an example and reference for commands to use when you're using restart.

(examples/TRISO/accident_simulation/triso2D_accident_ad.i)
# This example is 2D-RZ analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.
# This is a version using a thermomechanical mortar approach. It uses
# Automatic Differentiation classes and models gap mass transfer using
# flux preserving and sorption mortar constraints. Sorption constants are
# given in Table 1 of the following article: A. Londono-Hurtado, I.
# Szlufarska, R. Bratton and D. Morgan, "A review of fission product
# sorption in carbon structures", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 426,
# p. 254, 2012.

(examples/TRISO/accident_simulation/triso2D_accident_mortar.i)
# This example is 2D-RZ analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.
# This is a version using a thermomechanical mortar approach.

# This is a test for the transient capability included in the Sifgrs fission gas behavior model.
# This transient treatment accounts for the rapid gas release from the grain boundaries due
# to micro-cracking during temperature transients. The effect of micro-cracking is interpreted
# as a reduction of the gas storing capacity of grain boundaries during transients,
# effectively leading to an increase of FGR and to a corresponding decrease of fission gas swelling.
# The fraction of cracked grain surface is described by a temperature-dependent sigmoid function,
# which reproduces the experimentally observed kinetics of gas release during both heating and
# cooling transients.
# The transient is composed of 5 phases:
# 1. build up of fission gases and burnup accummulation at constant temperature
# 2. heat up representative of a transient (micro-cracking during heating)
# 3. constant high temperature (healing)
# 4. cool down representative of a transient (micro-cracking during cooling)
# 5. constant low temperature (healing)
# The calculated FGR rapidly increases during the transients, and the fission gas swelling decreases correspondingly.
# This test can be adapted using transient_option = MICROCRACKING_BURNUP in UO2Sifgrs.
# The resulting test leverages the option for considering a burnup-dependent central temperature, which accounts
# for the gradual weakening of grain boundaries due to irradiation-created defects.
# This is the AD version of the test

# This test is for the fuel swelling and porosity computation in the Sifgrs
# fission gas behavior model for UO2 (UO2Sifgrs).
# As complementary to the fission gas release process, the fission gas
# swelling is related to gas retention in the fuel in the form of bubbles.
# Through a direct description of the gas bubble development, the fission
# gas swelling and release are modeled as inherently coupled processes, on a
# physical basis. Only the fission gas swelling due to grain-face bubbles is
# considered.
# In a comprehensive treatment of fission gas release and fuel swelling, Sifgrs
# also incorporates empirical models for the swelling due to solid fission
# products and the fuel densification.
# Moreover, the different contributions to fuel porosity, namely, those due to
# fabrication pores, gas bubbles (thus associated with fission gas swelling),
# and sintering (densification), are computed consistently with the swelling
# calculations. Then, the fuel total porosity in each mesh location can be
# tracked (auxkernel PorosityAuxUO2), and considered in the computation of
# other relevant material properties like the fuel thermal conductivity
# (material model UO2Thermal).
# This test aims at demonstrating the above model capabilities. The considered
# case involves a single-element cubic domain, constant temperature (1400 K)
# and fission rate (1e19 f/(m**3s)), and a irradiation time of 1e8 s. The
# Sifgrs model is adopted for calculating the fission gas release and fuel
# swelling. Starting from a typical as-fabricated value of 5%, the fuel
# porosity evolves consistently with the swelling. The fuel thermal
# conductivity is calculated as coupled with porosity, which allows taking
# into account the conductivity degradation due to progressive increase of
# gaseous porosity (see also the attached file regression_tests_sifgrs.xlsx).
