- rxn_rateThe reaction rate to use for computing the optical depth.
C++ Type:MooseEnum
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The reaction rate to use for computing the optical depth.
ElementOpticalDepthIndicator
Description
ElementOpticalDepthIndicator
computes an estimate of the per-element optical depth using a reaction rate and a score from a tally in the tallies block. The estimated optical depth is computed as:
(1)
where is the estimated optical depth from reaction , is the reaction rate (rxn_rate
), is the scalar flux, and is an estimate of the chord length through the element traversed by neutrons/photons. There are three options for which can be set in h_type
: the maximum vertex separation in an element (max
), the minimum vertex separation in an element (min
), and the cube root of the element volume (cube_root
).
Example Input File Syntax
The listing below shows sample usage of the ElementOpticalDepthIndicator
to compute per-element optical depths for different h_type
s.
Input Parameters

Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
- h_typemaxThe estimate for the length of the element used to compute the optical depth. Options are the minimum vertex separation (min), the maximum vertex separation (max), and the cube root of the element volume (cube_root).
Default:max
C++ Type:MooseEnum
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The estimate for the length of the element used to compute the optical depth. Options are the minimum vertex separation (min), the maximum vertex separation (max), and the cube root of the element volume (cube_root).
- prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
- use_interpolated_stateFalseFor the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:For the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.
Optional Parameters
