These example inputs showcase the unstructured mesh based geometry and interface capabilities in Serpent 2.

The problem geometry is a cube with coordinates [-150, 150]x[-150, 150]x[-150, 150] divided into an inner region inside [-100, 100]x[-100, 100]x[-100, 100] and a blanket region.

The inner region is also evidently cube shaped but consists of 8 sub-regions:

  • Areas with positive x (+,?,?) have a larger density (different nuclide density for macroscopic cross sections).
  • Areas with positive y (?,+,?) have a larger temperature (different temperature for cross sections).
  • Areas with positive z (?,?,+) have a larger U-233 content (different material composition).

In the following sections this geometry is created in several different ways:

  1. Using the normal Serpent geometry definitions with separate materials for all 8 regions.
  2. Using the unstructured mesh based geometry definition with separate materials for all 8 regions.
  3. Using the normal Serpent geometry definitions with temperature and density data brought in using the unstructured mesh based interface.
  4. Using the unstructured mesh based geometry definition with attached temperature and density data for the materials.

Traditional way

The "traditional" way of defining a geometry with multiple materials at multiple densities and temperatures is to create a separate material for each of the temperature and density combinations. As this example has two different nuclide compositions we end up with 23 = 8 separate materials. This input creates the geometry by splitting the inner region into eight sub-regions using the coordinate planes. The correct material is then filled into each octant. The temperature and density data are specified in the material card.
