class bluemira.radiation_transport.neutronics.neutronics_axisymmetric.ReactorGeometry

Data storage stage

Parameters:

  • divertor_wire – The plasma-facing side of the divertor.

  • panel_break_points – The start and end points for each first-wall panel (for N panels, the shape is (N+1, 2)).

  • boundary – interface between the inside of the vacuum vessel and the outside of the blanket

  • vacuum_vessel_wire – The outer-boundary of the vacuum vessel

class bluemira.radiation_transport.neutronics.neutronics_axisymmetric.PreCellStage(blanket: bluemira.radiation_transport.neutronics.make_pre_cell.PreCellArray, divertor: bluemira.radiation_transport.neutronics.make_pre_cell.DivertorPreCellArray)

Stage of making pre-cells

Parameters:
blanket
divertor
external_coordinates() → numpy.typing.NDArray

Get the outermost coordinates of the tokamak cross-section from pre-cell array and divertor pre-cell array. Runs clockwise, beginning at the inboard blanket-divertor joint.

Returns:

All vertices on the exterior of the blanket and the divertor.

Return type:

numpy.typing.NDArray

bounding_box() → tuple[float, Ellipsis]

Get bounding box of pre cell stage

Returns:

  • z_max – The maximum height of the bounding box.

  • z_min – The minimum height of the bounding box.

  • r_max – The maximum major radius reached by the pre-cells.

  • -r_max – The minimum major radius reached by the pre-cells. Due to axial symmetry, this must be =-r_max.

Return type:

tuple[float, Ellipsis]

half_bounding_box() → tuple[float, Ellipsis]

Get bounding box of the 2D poloidal cross-section of the right-hand half of the reactor.

Returns:

  • z_max – The maximum height of the bounding box.

  • z_min – The minimum height of the bounding box.

  • r_max – The maximum major radius reached by the pre-cells.

  • r_min – The minimum major radius reached by the pre-cells on one side of the xz cross section. This is typically non-zero because pre-cells should not cross the z-axis of symmetry.

Return type:

tuple[float, Ellipsis]
