摘要:
AbstractThe gas-dynamic response of argon to fission-fragment energy deposition is simulated, for the first time explicitly including the coupling between the gas density, which is spatially and temporally varying, and the power density. In simulations of three experiments with different initial fill pressures of argon, good agreement was found between calculated and observed pressure rises, after the experimental pressure rise data from one case were used as a calibration. However, in each case, the calculated thermal energy deposition corresponding to the experimental pressure data was about half the fission-fragment kinetic energy release into the gas predicted by neutron and fission-fragment transport calculations. Also, the experimental pressure data exhibited a decay not seen in the simulations, which did not incorporate an energy-loss mechanism.
