[docs]def getOptimalAssemblyOrientation(a, aPrev): """ Get optimal assembly orientation/rotation to minimize peak burnup. Notes ----- Works by placing the highest-BU pin in the location (of 6 possible locations) with lowest expected pin power. We evaluated "expected pin power" based on the power distribution in aPrev, which is the previous assembly located here. If aPrev has no pin detail, then we must use its corner fast fluxes to make an estimate. Parameters ---------- a : Assembly object The assembly that is being rotated. aPrev : Assembly object The assembly that previously occupied this location (before the last shuffle). If the assembly "a" was not shuffled, then "aPrev" = "a". If "aPrev" has pin detail, then we will determine the orientation of "a" based on the pin powers of "aPrev" when it was located here. If "aPrev" does NOT have pin detail, then we will determine the orientation of "a" based on the corner fast fluxes in "aPrev" when it was located here. Returns ------- rot : int An integer from 0 to 5 representing the "orientation" of the assembly. This orientation is relative to the current assembly orientation. rot = 0 corresponds to no rotation. rot represents the number of pi/3 counterclockwise rotations for the default orientation.

[docs]def buildRingSchedule( maxRingInCore, chargeRing=None, dischargeRing=None, jumpRingFrom=None, jumpRingTo=None, coarseFactor=0.0, ): r""" Build a ring schedule for shuffling. Notes ----- General enough to do convergent, divergent, or any combo, plus jumprings. The center of the core is ring 1, based on the DIF3D numbering scheme. Jump ring behavior can be generalized by first building a base ring list where assemblies get charged to H and discharge from A:: [A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H] If a jump should be placed where it jumps from ring G to C, reversed back to F, and then discharges from A, we simply reverse the sublist [C,D,E,F], leaving us with:: [A,B,F,E,D,C,G,H] A less-complex, more standard convergent-divergent scheme is a subcase of this, where the sublist [A,B,C,D,E] or so is reversed, leaving:: [E,D,C,B,A,F,G,H] So the task of this function is simply to determine what subsection, if any, to reverse of the baselist. Parameters ---------- maxRingInCore : int The number of rings in the hex assembly reactor. chargeRing : int, optional The peripheral ring into which an assembly enters the core.
