- 3D datasets for "Thermal transients in a U-Bend"(2019-07-19) Skillen, AlexData accompanying the manuscript "Thermal transients in a U-Bend" submitted to the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer (IJHMT) July 2019. 3D volumetric cell-centre data, in vtk format (readable by Paraview, https://www.paraview.org/, for instance) at times \tilde{t}=0, 15, 30, 45, and 70 are enclosed. The file names are {SOLID|FLUID}_t{N}.vtu which denote data for either the fluid or solid domain at time \tilde{t}=N. The field variables comprise: "T"; the ensemble averaged normalised temperature. "V"; the ensemble averaged normalised velocity. "uu", "uv", etc.; the ensemble averaged resolved Reynolds stress components, normalised by bulk velocity.
- Demonstrations of fast approximate variable-width broadening(2023-09) Jackson, Adam; Farmer, JessicaWe have developed a fast approximate method of applying variable-width broadening to spectral data. This dataset contains demonstration scripts which generate the plots for a related academic manuscript. They also reproduce the parametrisation of polynomial fits to the relationship between the approximation error and the scale factor between broadening kernels used in the method. Some of the scripts use the implementation in the Euphonic library: to reproduce published results use Euphonic v1.3.0 - https://pace-neutrons.github.io/Euphonic/versions/v1.3.0.html - https://github.com/pace-neutrons/Euphonic/releases/tag/v1.3.0 Most of the scripts are written in Python. One Bash shell script is also included which needs to call the euphonic-powder-map program included in the Euphonic package. A Makefile is provided so that all plots can be generated with "make plots" using GNU Make. .yaml datafiles were derived from data in the Kyoto phonon database ("phonondb") under a CC-by license: the Phonopy calculation directories were downloaded and Phonopy was run with =--include-all= and =--nac= options to create .yaml files containing all the information needed by Euphonic.

The article is an adaptation of an article presented at the ICONE26 Conference in London, July 2018. Some of the neutronic data also presented in the article was presented at the CFD4NRS-7 Workshop in Shanghai, September 2018. The figures and tables presents the specifications and results of the neutron simulations performed for these papers. They show cross-sections, power distributions and variation of effective multiplification factor with temperature and population density. The data is in the form of figures and tables. The figures in the corresponding directory were prepared using bash scripts, python version 2.7, gnuplot version 4.6 and latex to extract and analyse simulated data. The tables in the corresponding directory were prepared using bash scripts and python version 2.7 to extract and analyse simulated data. The python scripts can be found in the repository. Note that numpy is a requirement. The raw data was prepared using the SCARF (scarf.rl.ac.uk) and the University of Liverpool (https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/csd/advanced-research-computing/facilities/high-performance-computing/). The data was generated by the solvers DYN3D-MG (https://www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pOid=11771&pNid=542) and SERPENT (http://montecarlo.vtt.fi/). DYN3D-MG modelled the nodal diffusion neutronic behaviour of the molten salt fast reactor. SERPENT (version 2.1.29) modelled the neutronic behaviour of the molten salt fast reactor using the Monte Carlo method.

- Neutron Cross Sections generated and used during the project: "Feasibility of the use of frozen walls in molten salt fast reactors (MSFR-FW)"(2019) Cartland-Glover, Gregory; Rolfo, Stefano; Litskevich, Dzianis; Skillen, Alex; Emerson, David; Merk, Bruno; Moulinec, CharlesThe data enclosed in this repository is associated with the manuscripts submitted to the European Physical Journal - Nuclear mid February 2019 and Nuclear Engineering and Design end of March 2019. The articles are adaptations of conference papers presented at the ICONE26 Conference in London, July 2018, the CFD4NRS-7 Workshop in Shanghai, September 2018 and the NUTHOS-12 topical meeting in Qingdao, October 2018. The data are neutron cross-sections, which were generated during the project "Feasibility of the use of frozen walls in molten salt fast reactors (MSFR-FW)". The neutron cross sections take the form of ascii files that have been formatted for the DYN3D-MG code. The subdirectory coreregion contains the reactor core neutron cross sections for the fuel salt eutectic LiF-PuF3-UF4 over the temperature range 623.15 K - 1198.15 K. The cross-sections were used in the coupled neutronic and computational fluid dynamic simulation of a cylindrical reactor with a low resolution. The subdirectory coreandreflector contains the reactorcore, wall and reflector neutron cross sections for the fuel salt eutectic LiF-PuF3-UF4 over the temperature range 623.15 K - 1198.15 K. The cross-sections were used in the coupled neutronic and computational fluid dynamic simulation of a reactor with the EVOL-optimized configuration. Below 814.22 K the fuel salt eutectic is assumed solid. All cross-sections above 841.55 K temperature are liquid. Between these temperatures the media is assumed to be a temperature dependent mixture of solid and liquid phases. Details of the assumed physical properties of the fuel-salt eutectic are given in the above references. The raw data was prepared using the SCARF (scarf.rl.ac.uk). The data was generated using SERPENT (http://montecarlo.vtt.fi/). SERPENT (version 2.1.29) modelled the neutronic behaviour of the molten salt fast reactor using the Monte Carlo method. The data was reformatted for the nodal neutron diffusion solver DYN3D-MG (https://www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pOid=11771&pNid=542) to read. This is the format in which neutron cross-sections are given.
