SCMQuadPowerIC
Computes axial heat rate (W/m) that goes into the subchannel cells or is assigned to the fuel pins, in a square lattice arrangement
Overview
This IC assigns the axial heat rate ("variable" = q_prime) on the subchannels or pins in the case of a problem with subchannels/pins in a square lattice arrangement.
The user must provide the total power of the subassembly "power", the axial shape of the power profile and the radial power distribution (power per pin). The axial power profile is given as a function over the -z direction, which integral over the length of the heated portion of the pin, is equal to the length of the heated portion of the pin. The radial power distribution is given as a column of numbers in a .txt file "filename" that has as many entries as the number of pins.
If the first entry is 1.0, that means that the pin with index 0 is at 100% power. If the 5th entry has a value of 0.0 that means that pin with index 4 has 0% power, etc. The pin and subchannel indexes are presented in user notes page.
A pin with 100% power has a value of power which is equal to the total power of the subassembly divided with the total number of heated pins (if a pin has zero power it doesn't count in that number).
The total power of pin with index 6 is calculated as the product of the 100% pin power, times the value on the 7th line of the radial power distribution .txt file. Hence the user should pay attention that the sum of entries on the radial power distribution file should be equal to the number of heated pins.
The axial heat rate at a specific height is the product of the total power of the pin, times the value of the axial power profile function, at that height.
Caveat
If the user has created a mesh for the pins, the axial heat rate will be assigned to the nodes of the pin mesh. If the user hasn't created a pin mesh the appropriate heat rate will be assigned to the nodes of the subchannel mesh. When the user has defined a fuel-pin mesh, the axial heat rate ("variable" = q_prime) is the heat rate at the surface of the fuels pins and it is distributed equally to each neighboring subchannel.
Input Parameters
- axial_heat_rate1.0user provided normalized function of axial heat rate [Unitless]. The integral over pin heated length should equal the heated length
Default:1.0
C++ Type:FunctionName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:user provided normalized function of axial heat rate [Unitless]. The integral over pin heated length should equal the heated length
- blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
- boundaryThe list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies
C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies
- stateCURRENTThis parameter is used to set old state solutions at the start of simulation. If specifying multiple states at the start of simulation, use one IC object for each state being specified. The states are CURRENT=0 OLD=1 OLDER=2. States older than 2 are not currently supported. When the user only specifies current state, the solution is copied to the old and older states, as expected. This functionality is mainly used for dynamic simulations with explicit time integration schemes, where old solution states are used in the velocity and acceleration approximations.
Default:CURRENT
C++ Type:MooseEnum
Options:CURRENT, OLD, OLDER
Controllable:No
Description:This parameter is used to set old state solutions at the start of simulation. If specifying multiple states at the start of simulation, use one IC object for each state being specified. The states are CURRENT=0 OLD=1 OLDER=2. States older than 2 are not currently supported. When the user only specifies current state, the solution is copied to the old and older states, as expected. This functionality is mainly used for dynamic simulations with explicit time integration schemes, where old solution states are used in the velocity and acceleration approximations.
Optional Parameters
- control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

- enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.
Default:True
C++ Type:bool

Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:When set to true, a UserObject retrieved by this IC will not be executed before the this IC
Advanced Parameters

C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:For the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.
