openmc-plasma-source 0.1

Creates tokamak plasma sources for OpenMC

openmc-plasma-source

This python-based package offers a way of creating a parametric OpenMC plasma source from plasma parameters. The OpenMC sources are ring sources which reduces the computational cost and the settings.xml file size.

The equations implemented here are taken from this paper.

Installation

To install openmc-plasma-source, simply run:

pip install openmc-plasma-source

Basic usage

from openmc_plasma_source import Plasma


# create a plasma source
my_plasma = Plasma(
    elongation=1.557,
    ion_density_centre=1.09e20,
    ion_density_peaking_factor=1,
    ion_density_pedestal=1.09e20,
    ion_density_separatrix=3e19,
    ion_temperature_centre=45.9,
    ion_temperature_peaking_factor=8.06,
    ion_temperature_pedestal=6.09,
    ion_temperature_separatrix=0.1,
    major_radius=9.06,
    minor_radius=2.92258,
    pedestal_radius=0.8 * 2.92258,
    mode="H",
    shafranov_factor=0.44789,
    triangularity=0.270,
    ion_temperature_beta=6
  )

my_sources = my_plasma.make_openmc_sources()
