bluemira.codes.openmc.sources.make_tokamak_source(eq: bluemira.equilibria.equilibrium.Equilibrium, source_parameters: bluemira.codes.openmc.params.PlasmaSourceParameters, cell_side_length: float = 0.1) → tuple[list[openmc.Source], float, float]

Make a tokamak neutron source using an equilibrium and PlasmaSourceParameters for PROCESS parabolic-pedestal profiles.

Parameters:

• eq (bluemira.equilibria.equilibrium.Equilibrium) – Equilibrium description

• source_parameters (bluemira.codes.openmc.params.PlasmaSourceParameters) – PlasmaSourceParameters

• cell_side_length (float) – The dimension of the squares with which to discretise the neutron source

Returns:

• source – Fusion source for OpenMC

• source_rate – Absolute neutron production rate (used for tallying)

• source_T_rate – Absolute plasma T consumption rate (used for tallying)

Return type:

tuple[list[openmc.Source], float, float]

bluemira.codes.openmc.sources.make_ring_source(source_parameters: bluemira.codes.openmc.params.PlasmaSourceParameters) → openmc.Source

Create the ring source

Parameters:

source_parameters (bluemira.codes.openmc.params.PlasmaSourceParameters)

Return type:

openmc.Source

bluemira.codes.openmc.sources.create_ring_source(major_r_cm: float, shaf_shift_cm: float) → openmc.Source

Creating simple line ring source lying on the Z=0 plane, at r = major radius + shafranov shift, producing 14.1 MeV neutrons with no variation in energy. A more accurate source will slightly affect the wall loadings and dpa profiles.

Parameters:

• major_r_cm (float) – major radius [cm]

• shaf_shift_cm (float) – shafranov shift [cm]

Return type:

openmc.Source
