The last 2 years have been a period of unprecedented growth for the MOOSE community and software itself. number monthly visitors to website has grown from just over 3,000 now averaging 5,000. In addition, 1,800 pull requests merged since beginning 2020, new discussions forum averaged 600 unique per month. previous publication cited 200 times it was published ago. This paper serves as an update on some key additions changes code ecosystem years, well recognizing contributions community.
The development of MOOSE has kept accelerating since the last release, with over 2,100 pull requests merged 30 months that involved nearly fifty contributors across close to a dozen institutions internationally. growth in MOOSE's capabilities and downstream applications is reflected community. User support provided on GitHub discussions forum steadily increased 50 daily interactions. New simulation projects, notably model advanced nuclear reactor fusion devices, are driving significant...
AbstractThe U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program has developed numerous physics solvers utilizing the open-source Multiphysics Object-Oriented Environment (MOOSE) framework for multiphysics reactor analysis. These require input finite element meshes representing discretized spatial domain. Typically, analysts turn to licensed tools creation geometry meshes. Recently, functionality been added MOOSE mesh common geometries improve MOOSE-based...
With the next generation of nuclear reactors under development, modeling and simulation tools are being developed by U.S. Department Energy to support their design, licensing, future operation. Mirroring physical test beds currently construction (i.e., Demonstration Operation Microreactor Experiments, known as DOME, Laboratory for Operating Testing in United States, LOTUS), Virtual Test Bed was launched National Reactor Innovation Center collaboration with Nuclear Advanced Modeling...
High energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction in the transmission mode was performed situ during uniaxial tensile testing to understand deformation and cracking behavior of cold spray Cr-coated Zr-alloy specimens both as-deposited annealed conditions. The fracture surface specimens, examined using scanning electron microscopy, revealed that Cr coatings samples remained strongly adherent substrates through completion test. Both elastic plastic mechanisms were quantified detailed line profile...
In order to fully characterize the structure of dislocation loops in CeO2, ion irradiations have been performed at 800 °C on CeO2 single-crystal thin films individually using 1 MeV Kr ions and 150 keV Xe ions, both a dose 5 × 1014 ions/cm2. Post-irradiation TEM examination, diffraction contrast imaging high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), has confirmed that irradiation-induced were Frank loops, having an interstitial nature with {1 1} habit planes 1/3 Burgers vector....
