armi.reactor.blocks.thRZBlock module

A simple base class to help define blocks in a Theta-R-Z geometry.

class armi.reactor.blocks.thRZBlock.ThRZBlock(name: str, height: float = 1.0)[source]

Bases: Block

Builds a new ARMI block.

namestr: The name of this block
heightfloat, optional: The height of the block in cm. Defaults to 1.0 so that getVolume assumes unit height.

getMaxArea()[source]: Return the area of the Theta-R-Z block if it was totally full.

radialInner()[source]: Return a smallest radius of all the components.

radialOuter()[source]: Return a largest radius of all the components.

thetaInner()[source]: Return a smallest theta of all the components.

thetaOuter()[source]: Return a largest theta of all the components.

axialInner()[source]: Return the lower z-coordinate.

axialOuter()[source]: Return the upper z-coordinate.

verifyBlockDims()[source]: Perform dimension checks related to ThetaRZ blocks.

paramCollectionType: alias of BlockParameterCollection
