Surface-Integrated Flux and Current
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Surface tallies allow you to measure particle behavior as they cross specific
|
||||
boundaries in your geometry. Unlike volume tallies, which integrate over a
|
||||
volumetric region, surface tallies capture the current or flux passing through a
|
||||
surface. Surface tallies are estimated using an analog estimator.
|
||||
|
||||
Current Score
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
When tallying the current across a surface, we simply count the weight of
|
||||
particles that cross the surface of interest:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. math::
|
||||
:label: analog-current-estimator
|
||||
|
||||
J = \frac{1}{W} \sum_{i \in S} w_i.
|
||||
|
||||
where :math:`J` is the area-integrated current passing through surface
|
||||
:math:`S`, :math:`W` is the total starting weight of the particles, and
|
||||
:math:`w_i` is the weight of the particle as it crosses the surface :math:`S`.
|
||||
|
||||
Flux Score
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
When tallying flux over a surface, we use the relationship between current and
|
||||
flux:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. math::
|
||||
:label: surface-flux-estimator
|
||||
|
||||
\phi_S = \frac{1}{W} \sum_{i \in S} \frac{w_i}{|\mu|}.
|
||||
|
||||
where :math:`\phi_S` is the area-integrated flux over surface :math:`S`,
|
||||
:math:`W` is the total starting weight of the particles, :math:`w_i` is the
|
||||
weight of the particle as it crosses the surface :math:`S` and :math:`\mu` is
|
||||
the cosine of angle between the particle direction and the surface normal.
|
||||
|
||||
This equation diverges when the particle crossing the surface is nearly parallel
|
||||
to it (that is, as :math:`\mu` approaches zero). To remove this divergence,
|
||||
OpenMC scores:
|
||||
|
||||
.. math::
|
||||
:label: modified-surface-flux-estimator
|
||||
|
||||
\phi_S = \frac{1}{W} \sum_{i \in S} w_i f(\mu).
|
||||
|
||||
and the function :math:`f` is defined by:
|
||||
|
||||
.. math::
|
||||
f(\mu) = \begin{cases}
|
||||
\frac{1}{|\mu|} & |\mu| > \mu_\text{cut} \\
|
||||
\frac{1}{c\mu_\text{cut}} & |\mu| \le \mu_\text{cut}
|
||||
\end{cases}
|
||||
|
||||
where :math:`\mu_\text{cut}` is the grazing cosine cutoff and :math:`c` is the
|
||||
cosine substitution ratio. The parameters :math:`\mu_\text{cut}` and :math:`c`
|
||||
can be set by the user via the :attr:`openmc.Settings.surface_grazing_cutoff`
|
||||
and :attr:`openmc.Settings.surface_grazing_ratio` attributes, respectively. The
|
||||
default values for these parameters are 0.001 and 0.5 as recommended by
|
||||
`Favorite, Thomas, and Booth <https://doi.org/10.13182/NSE09-72>`_.
