Homogenized group constants

Notes:

• Group constants are calculated by first homogenizing the geometry using a multi-group structure with H energy groups. The data is then collapsed into the final few-group structure with G groups using the infinite and leakage-corrected flux spectra.
• The methodology used in Serpent for spatial homogenization is described in a paper published in Annals of Nuclear Energy in 2016.
• The fundamental mode calculation is off by default, and invoked by the set fum option. Otherwise all values with B1 prefix are printed as zeros.
• The intermediate multi-group structure is defined using option set micro or set fum.
• The few-group structure is defined using option set nfg.
• The universes in which the group constants are calculated are listed in option set gcu. The calculation is performed for root universe 0 by default, and can be switched off with "set gcu -1".
• If data is produced in multiple universes within a single run, the data is assigned with different run indexes (idx)
• The parameter names can be listed in the set coefpara option, and they will be included in the group constant output file when the automated burnup sequence is invoked.
• The order in which two-dimensional data (scattering matrices, ADF and pin-power parameters) is printed in the [input].coe output file is different from what is listed below in update 2.1.24 and earlier versions.

Assembly discontinuity factors

Notes:

• Calculation of assembly discontinuity factors requires the set adf option.
• Surface flux and current tallies are used to calculate the boundary currents and fluxes. Mid-point and corner values are approximated by integrating over a small surface segment.
• The surface and volume fluxes are flux densities, i.e. they are surface or volume integrated fluxes divided by the respective surface area or volume.
• The currents are surface integrated values.
• The net current is defined as current in subtracted with current out.
• When the homogenized region is surrounded by reflective boundary conditions (zero net-current) the homogeneous flux becomes flat and equal to the volume-averaged heterogeneous flux. When the net currents are non-zero, the homogeneous flux is obtained using the Built-in diffusion flux solver.
• The calculation currently supports only a limited number of surface types: infinite planes and square and hexagonal prisms.
• The order of surface and mid-point values for square prisms is: $X_{\mathrm{W},1} \, X_{\mathrm{W},2} \, ... \, X_{\mathrm{S},1} \, X_{\mathrm{S},2} \, ... \, X_{\mathrm{E},1} \, X_{\mathrm{E},2} \, ... \, X_{\mathrm{N},1} \, X_{\mathrm{N},2} \, ...$ and the order of corner values: $X_{\mathrm{NW},1} \, X_{\mathrm{NW},2} \, ... \, X_{\mathrm{NE},1} \, X_{\mathrm{NE},2} \, ... \, X_{\mathrm{SE},1} \, X_{\mathrm{SE},2} \, ... \, X_{\mathrm{SW},1} \, X_{\mathrm{SW},2} \, ...$ where $X_{k,g}$ refers to parameter $X$ on surface/corner k and energy group g.
• The order of surface values for Y-type hexagonal prims runs clockwise starting from the north, i.e. N, NE, SE, S, SW, NW. The corner values run counterclockwise starting from east, i.e. E, NE, NW, W, SW, SE.
• The order of surface values for X-type hexagonal prims runs counterclockwise starting from the east, i.e. E, NE, NW, W, SW, SE. The corner values run clockwise starting from north, i.e. N, NE, SE, S, SW, NW.
• The sign moment weighted parameters are calculated only for surface types sqc, rect and hexxc.
• The convention of sign moment directions follows that of the nodal neutronics program Ants.
• The ADF symmetry options on set adf card are currently not used for sign moment weighted parameters.

Pin-power form factors

Notes:

• Calculation of pin-power form factors requires the set ppw option.
• The power distribution is calculated by tallying the few-group fission energy deposition in each lattice position and dividing the values with the total energy produced in the universe (sum over all values of PPW_POW equals 1).
• The calculation of form factors depends on the boundary conditions:
  1. If the homogenized region is surrounded by reflective boundary conditions (zero net-current), the homogeneous flux becomes flat and equal to the volume-averaged heterogeneous flux.
  2. When the net currents are non-zero, the homogeneous flux is obtained using the built-in diffusion flux solver. The form-factors (PPW_FF) are obtained by dividing the pin- and group-wise powers with the corresponding homogeneous diffusion flux (PPW_HOM_FLUX).
  3. However, if the net currents are non-zero, but the sum of the net currents is equal to zero, the volume-averaged heterogeneous flux is used as the homogeneous flux, which is not an accurate approximation. This case is for example when modeling hexagonal fuel assemblies with other than 30 or 60 degree symmetries with periodic boundary conditions.
• Running the diffusion flux solver currently requires ADF calculation.
• The order of values is: $X_{1,1} \, X_{1,2} \, ... \, X_{2,1} \, X_{2,2} \, ...$ where $X_{n,g}$ refers to parameter $X$ of pin n and energy group g. For example, two-group power distributions in a 17 x 17 lattice can be converted into matrix form using the reshape-command in Matlab:

P1 = reshape(PPW_POW(1, 1:4:end), 17, 17);
P2 = reshape(PPW_POW(1, 3:4:end), 17, 17);

• Symmetry used in the lattice may result in some pin powers and form factors to be for example 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 of their true value, which have to be corrected during post processing of the values.

PPW_FF	2G $\times$ NP	Pin- and group-wise form factors

Albedos

Notes:

• Calculation of albedos requires the set alb option.
• The order of the surfaces should be the same as for the ADFs.
• The order of ALB_IN_CURR is $J_{1,1} , J_{1,2} , \ldots , J_{2,1} , J_{2,2} , \ldots$ where $J_{k,g}$ refers to incoming partial current of surface k of group g.
• The order of ALB_OUT_CURR is $J_{1,1,1,1} , J_{1,1,1,2} , \ldots , J_{1,1,2,1} , J_{1,1,2,2} , \ldots , J_{1,2,1,1} , J_{1,2,1,2} , \ldots , J_{2,1,1,1} , J_{2,1,1,2} , \ldots$ where $J_{k,g,k',g'}$ refers to outgoing partial current of surface k' of group g' which has entered the albedo surface through surface k and group g.
• The order of ALB_TOT_ALB is $\alpha_{1,1} , \alpha_{1,2} , \ldots , \alpha_{2,1} , \alpha_{2,2} , \ldots$ where $\alpha_{g,g'}$ refers to albedo from group g to g'.
• The order of ALB_PART_ALB is $\alpha_{1,1,1,1} , \alpha_{1,1,1,2} , \ldots , \alpha_{1,1,2,1} , \alpha_{1,1,2,2} , \ldots , \alpha_{1,2,1,1} , \alpha_{1,2,1,2} , \ldots , \alpha_{2,1,1,1} , \alpha_{2,1,1,2} , \ldots$ where $\alpha_{k,g,k',g'}$ refers to albedo of surface k' of group g' which has entered the albedo surface through surface k and group g.
• For example, two-group hexagonal partial albedos can be converted into matrix form using the reshape-command in Matlab with the notation part_alb(g', k', g, k) $= \alpha_{k,g,k',g'}$ as

part_alb = reshape(ALB_PART_ALB(1, 1:2:end), 2, 6, 2, 6)

Delayed neutrons accounted for in ANA_KEFF

Since Serpent 2.1.23, ANA_KEFF estimator is calculated separately for delayed neutrons. The first two values are total, 3-4 are prompt neutron multiplication only and 5-6 delayed neutron multiplication only.
