Description:Coupled temperature
UPuZrElasticityTensor
Computes the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for UPuZr fuel based on supplied fractions of Pu and Zr.
Description
Due to the redistribution of zirconium in the fuel, and the need to model both U-Zr and U-Pu-Zr fuel, correlations included in UPuZrElasticityTensor must be applicable to any concentration of plutonium or zirconium. To that end, two models for Young's Modulus are provided by this model, the historical model from the Hofman et al. (2019), and a new calibrated correlation dependent on temperature and constituent concentrations. Poisson's ratio is computed using the formulation from Hofman et al. (2019), which, when combined with the Young's modulus, is used to formulate the entire elasticity tensor. For both Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, a porosity correction is applied, as described in Porosity Correction
LANL Young's Modulus Model
The LANL Young's modulus model uses the available data for U-Zr and U-Pu-Zr to provide a value for Young's modulus that is dependent on temperature and constituent concentrations:
MFH Young's Modulus Model
The correlation derived in Hofman et al. (2019) for Young's modulus can be derived using the sparse data and correlations from similar materials: where is the Young's modulus for pure U at the reference temperature of 588 K, is the correction to due to the plutonium and zirconium weight fractions, and respectively, and is the correction to due to temperature using melting temperature of uranium , a mixing factor based on the start and end transition times for to phases, and respectively. is the MathUtils::smootherStep function described in MathUtils, and provides a smooth transition from the to phase values for Young's modulus.
MFH Poissons's Ratio Model
The correlation for Poisson's ratio can be derived from the U-Zr correlation as: (1) where is the Poissons' ratio for pure U at the reference temperature of 588 K, is the correction to due to the zirconium weight fractions, , and is the correction to due to temperature using melting temperature of uranium .
Due to a lack of data for for U-Pu-Zr fuel, the U-Zr correlation will be utilized. Also, no phase dependence is captured in Eq. (1) due to lack of data.
Porosity Correction
A porosity correction is applied to both Young's modulus, , and Poisson's ratio, , as defined by Hofman et al. (2019)
where is porosity, and and are the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for fully dense material.
If using UPuZrElasticityTensor with a material model that updates porosity and requires elastic constants, e.g. ADCoupledFissionGasViscoplasticityStressUpdate, then a cyclic dependency will occur. In this case, set the input parameter use_current_porosity = false in UPuZrElasticityTensor, which will use the porosity calculated in the previous time step.

# IFR-1 ASSESSMENT CASE
# BISON recreation of the 169-pin IFR-1 experiment, which was irradiated in the
# FFTF from 9/1986 to 10/1988 to a peak burnup of about 10 at%. The assessment
# consists of three generic pins (U-10Zr, U-8Pu-10Zr, and U-19Pu-10Zr) which
# are compared against all available legacy calculations and PIE measurements
# for all 169 pins in the experiment. Composition-specific values are stored in
# three '.params' files. Units are in standard SI: J, K, kg, m, Pa, s.
# For a more complete description of the experiment, see [Dodds, 1986-1],
# [Dodds, 1986-2], [Porter and Tsai, 2011], and [Tsai et al., 1986]. For a more
# complete description of development and results of this assessment, see
# [Greenquist et al., 2021].
#
# To simulate one of the cases, use the combined input file option
# with one of the '.params' files. For example:
# mpiexec -n 4 ../../../../../bison-opt -i 'IFR1_base.i U-10Zr.params'

# TEMPLATE FILE
# This is not an input file. It is a template used to populate the input files.
# Changes made to this file will be applied to all 25 X430 input files.
# Values used for individual pins are stored in pin_inputs.csv. Input files are
# generated using the Python script generate_input_files.py.
# X430 ASSESSMENT CASE
# BISON recreation of the 52-pin X430 experiment series, which was irradiated in
# EBR-II from 1987-88 to a peak burnup of about 10 at%. The subassembly
# contained 37 pins and was irradiated in three experiments: X430, X430A, and
# X430B. After each experiment, pins were removed, examined, replaced as
# necessary, and the subassembly was reconstructed. BISON simulations were
# developed for 25 of the pins, of which 2 are
# assessments. Legacy calculations and PIE measurements are available for all 25
# pins. Units are in standard SI: J, K, kg, m, Pa, s.
# For a more complete description of the experiments, see [Hayes et al., 1994].
# For a more complete description of the development and results of this
# assessment, see [Greenquist and Powers, 2021].
# This file simulates pin %{pin} with a composition of %{composition}.

# This tests UPuZrPorosityEigenstrain, a swelling model for UPuZr metal fuel
# that incorporates low temperature swelling.
#
# The low temperature swelling model is new. It assumes a temperature-dependent
# swelling rate that is linearly proportional to burnup. The total amount of
# porosity generated in the material is limited to a user-defined value.
# This test calculates the low temperature and gas swelling contributions as well as
# the total eigenstrain at 750 K for nine time steps (to t=9e6 s) until the porosity
# threshold is reached. To accelerate the test, initial porosity = 0.1. The computed
# values match the analytical values until t=8e6, at which point 1) the gaseous swelling
# smoothing activates and 2) the total swelling would exceed the swelling threshold
# and the logic to adjust the swelling increments is activated.

(test/tests/anisotropic_swelling/anisotropic_swelling_eigenstrain.i)
# The purpose of this test is to verify the calculation of the eigenstrain
# applied to the fuel to represent an anisotropic swelling behavior observed
# in metal fuels. The eigenstrain is used to move the outer radius of the fuel
# to close the fuel/cladding gap a specific amount to account for the
# anisotropic swelling. An anisotropy factor is used to determine the fraction
# of the initial fuel/cladding gap to remove via this eigenstrain. This
# empirical factor is determined from a curve fit of experimental data
# provided in a plot from a paper by Ogata and Yokoo. The initial
# implementation of this capability is being done using a 1.5D model for
# simplicity.
#
# The eigenstrain is calculated as:
#
# epsilon = ln (1.0 + delta_r / pellet_outer_radius)
#
# where delta_r = anisotropy_factor * clad_gap_width
#
# In this model the clad_gap_width is 3.50e-4 (350 microns) and the
# pellet_outer_radius is 2.0e-3 (2 mm). The anisotropy_factor for UZr fuel is
# taken as 0.5. Therefore, the anisotropic_swelling_eigenstrain is
#
# epsilon = ln (1.0 + 0.5 * 3.5e-4 / 2.0e-3)
#
# epsilon = 8.388148e-2
#
# The resulting displacement of the fuel closes the fuel/cladding gap from 350
# microns to 175 microns.
#
# These results are verified by Postprocessor output of the relevant
# quantities (anisotropic swelling strain, clad/fuel gap and the displacemnet
# of the fuel outer node).

# 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.
