Introduction

The SNAP8ER is a good stress test for the MOOSE-based computational tools, specifically GRIFFIN due to its small size, high leakage, sensitivity to few group parameters, and material composition.

Some aims of this model was to reduce the use of resources external to MOOSE, i.e. Cubit and to simplify the workflow from cross section generation to full griffin model. For this reason, the mesh is fully generated inside MOOSE using a variety of Mesh Generator Objects. Also for this reason, the DFEM-SN Transport Scheme, rather than the CFEM-Diffusion Scheme is used in the neutronic model. This allows us to have more a direct workflow from generation of the few group parameters and our griffin model, such as avoiding the generation of SPH correction factors, often needed for good agreement between griffin and reference solutions when using CFEM-Diffusion. DFEM-SN is also heavilyy optimized for parallel computation and comes in handy for larger problems such as this.

Generation of Few Group Parameters

For generation of the reference solution and neutronic data the monte carlo code Serpent was used. It must be noted that this model is quite sensitive to the energy structure and spatial resolution used in the generation of the few group parameters. Various sensitivity studies were conducted to find the ideal parameters that were conducive to good agreement between Griffin and Serpent.

Serpent Model

For the serpent model, only the the active core region including core barrel and internal reflectors were modeled. External reflector control drums are not included in this model, but will be included in future updates.

/*
General comments:
Core Modeling completed to allow for preliminary dry critical configuration
comparison with NAA-SR-9642. Work total excess reactivity is 5.7%, this was done
via implementing SS316 layering in core cylinder, Sm2O3 poisoning in fuel, and
removal of hexagonal vertices in reflector material.

A radial ring spatial resolution was used for generation of the few group parameters 8 ring fuel layers, 1 coolant ring layer, and 1 internal reflector and core barrel ring layer for a total of 10 radial ring layers. Serpent uses universes to define spatial domains for generation of few group parameters, below is a table defining each universe. This information will be used in the griffin model to map neutronic data to the mesh.

A 16 energy few group structure documented in (Swenson, 1969) was used for the generation of few group parameters.

State Points

Reference data at each state point are generated for each tabulation parameter: fuel and coolant temperature, and each tabulation point: 300K, 600K, 900K, 1200K. This leads to a total of $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-65fefb35-61a9-4c2e-bf1b-030d7f5bbb07");katex.render("2^{4}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ state points. The reflector temperature and the coolant density are maintained constant for each statepoint. Future updates to the model will include these effects.

Preparation of Neutronic Data for Griffin

Now having all the reference neutronic data generated by serpent, the data must be prepared for use in our griffin model. This is done through ISOXML, a general toolkit aimed at handling large multigroup libraries. This is also comes in handy for facilitating the coupling process and handling feedback effects by using the data generated for our various state points.

Full documentation on the serpent to ISOXML workflow can be found here. ISOXML will use the grid indexes for each state point and parse the serpent results files and construct the multigroup library for use in our griffin model.

Griffin Model

In serpent, the fuel, ceramic, absorber, gap, cladding, coolant, internal reflectors, and barrel are all modeled explicitly. However, the homogenized universe data is generated at the channel level, meaning in griffin the mesh will also be done at the channel level to correspond with the homogenized universe data.

Geometry

The main tools used to generate this mesh were MOOSE based meshgenerators, primarily the PolygonConcentricCircleMeshGenerator for a fuel channel, HexIDPatternMeshGenerator for a lattice of fuel channels, the PeripheralRingMeshGenerator for the internal reflector and barrel, and the PlaneDeletionGenerator for adjustments to the geometry.

9 individual fuel channels are modeled, 1 for each corresponding radial ring
The fuel channels are mapped into the lattice in the appropiate arrangement from the homogenized universe data.
A peripheral ring is enclosed around the lattice to represent the internal reflector + core barrel (last radial layer)
The mesh is cut along the ring at various points to preserve the geometry and dimension of the reference serpent model.
The blocks are mapped to their appropriate material ID.

A table with corresponding mapping between the Serpent Universe ID and the Griffin Block ID is shown below.

TransportSystems

As stated previously, the Griffin model uses the newly optimized DFEM-SN transport scheme to solve for the eigenvalue. Here a 16 group energy structure is used with vacuum boundary conditions on the outer edge of the core barrel. The solver uses 9 azimuthal and 3 polar angles, typically the default for these are 6 and 2 respectively but because this system is highly anisotropic, a higher order of angles is required for solution fidelity. The benefit with using the DFEM-SN scheme rather than the stand CFEM-Diffusion scheme, is the removal of several layers of calculation for the same fidelity, however at the expense of a more expensive computation. The DFEM-SN scheme is optimized and scales well with problem size.

Materials

Through the use of the CoupledFeedbackMatIDNeutronicsMaterial, by the mapping of materialIDs to the mesh done earlier, this object conveniently handles the direct mapping of neutronic data into the mesh. The object also has a feature to correct the neutronic data used in a material by adjusting the cross sections for a correction volume. This is done for the internal reflector and core barrel region to more appropriately match the reference model.

Bison Model

Because bison is only taking the power distribution from the griffin model, we have the freedom to model each fuel channel component explicitly and hence we are able to capture unique heat transfer phenomena such as the gap radiative transfer and model thermal properties for each component. This model only captures heat conduction but future updates will include feedback from thermomechanical effects such as thermal expansion.

S8ER Bison Mesh, from (Naupa et al., 2022)

Geometry

The process for generating the Bison mesh is almost identical to the process described for the Griffin mesh, with a few extra steps. This time since we are modeling the explicit fuel element geometry, we use the PolygonConcentricCircleMeshGenerator to model concentric rings corresponding to the outer radii of each material in the fuel element.

Materials

The thermal properties of each material are modeled through using GenericConstantMaterial. This allows you to set thermal properties such as the density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity. In the case of the fuel we have documented formulations for the specific heat and thermal conductivity as a function of temperature. This temperature dependence can implemented through the use of the HeatConductionMaterial which allows you to set material properties as a function of temperature.

Multiphysics Coupling

The multiphysics coupling is done through MOOSE's MultiApp system, where Griffin is the main driver and executes Bison as a subapp. In this model the power distribution is solved by Griffin, where it is then transferred to Bison to solve the temperature distribution, where then the temperature distribution is transferred back to Griffin to calculate the new power distribution with updated neutronic data from the temperature feedback. This process is iterated by the [Executioner] until the system converges.

Multiphysics Flow Diagram, from (Naupa et al., 2022)

The data from each respective model is transfered using MOOSE's Transfers system. Since the meshes are tailored for each application, the differences in each mesh must be accounted for in the transfers. As described earlier, the Griffin mesh is generated at the channel level, while the Bison mesh is generated with explicit fuel components modeled. For this reason the MultiAppProjectionTransfer is used, which is handy when projecting field variables from one mesh to another. In this case the power generated in the Griffin fuel channel is transfered to only the fuel in Bison. For this reason, a volume normalization factor must be applied to the power density transfered so that power between models is conserved. The normalization factor is simply the ratio of the fuel channel to fuel volume.

The temperature distribution for each respective tabulation parameter i.e, fuel temperature and coolant temperature is transfered using the MultiAppInterpolationTransfer. This transfer is suitable for nodal variables such as variables in the LAGRANGE family.

Referring back to the [Materials] block, this is where the coupled feedback is taken into account. The CoupledFeedbackMatIDNeutronicsMaterial takes the tabulated neutronic data and uses temperature from bison to interpolate between statepoints. For this reason, Multiple transfers for each tabulation parameter are required so that the neutronic data can be properly interpolated between statepoints.

Running the Model

The Discontinuous Finite Element Discrete Ordinate (DFEM-SN) solver in conjunction with the asynchronous parallel sweeper implemented in griffin for the inversion of the streaming operator allows to efficiently perform neutron transport calculations in a parallel fashion on unstructured mesh (Wang et al., 2021). Additionally, it allows to streamline the modeling and simulation pipeline due to the enhanced fidelity that renders the generation of equivalence parameters not essential (agreement with Serpent within few hundreds of pcm for the effective multiplication factor). The neutronic model coupled with heat conduction runs in one minute on one Sawtooth node composed of 48 processors.
