zanderuf / msr_1d

Point kinetics solver for molten salt reactor kinetics calculations.

MSR1D

Modified point kinetics solver for MSR reactor transient calculations. Uses a 1D discontinous Galerkin approach for discretizing the temperature and fluid flow equations.

Building

Requires LAPACK to be built. See lapack-3.8.0 for details on how to build To build the source code all that is needed is a fortran compiler. For instance gfortran A makefile is used to build the executable. The makefile assumes you have gfortran in your path

cd src
make

Note: Regression testing and visualization utilities requires python 2.7+ with matplotlib & numpy

Testing

Basic regression tests can be found by going to:

cd regression

And run using the python script:

python BasicRegressionTests.py

Utilities

The utilities folder has utilized for automatting steady state calculations to tabuluate various parameters. Plotting of solution vectors is made possible with a series of python scripts
