SCMTriSubChannelMeshGenerator
Creates a mesh of 1D subchannels in a triangular lattice arrangement
Overview
This mesh generator creates the mesh were the SCM solution variables associated with the subchannels live. The user needs to provide the "nrings" parameter which defines the number of fuel pin rings. For triangular sub-assemblies, one nring means that there is one central pin in the (0 0 0) position and six neighboring ones on the the vertices of a normal hexagon. The number of cells in the -z direction is given by "n_cells". The distance of the pins from eachother is given by the "pitch" parameter and the total length of the sub-assembly in the -z direction is defined by the parameters: "heated_length","unheated_length_entry","unheated_length_entry". The fuel pin diameter is given by "pin_diameter". The user also has the ability to define the effect of spacers or mixing vanes on the sub-assembly by defining their axial location "spacer_z" and a local presure from loss "spacer_k". "flat_to_flat" is the size of the hexagonal duct that encloses the sub-assembly. If the pins are wire wrapped then the parameters: "dwire" "hwire" have non zero values that describe the geometry of the wire-wrap. The center of the mesh is the origin.
