# openmc.deplete.CF4Integrator¶

class openmc.deplete.CF4Integrator(operator, timesteps, power=None, power_density=None)[source]

Deplete using the CF4 algorithm.

Implements the fourth order commutator-free Lie algorithm. This algorithm is mathematically defined as:

\begin{aligned} F_1 &= h A(y_0) \\ y_1 &= \text{expm}(1/2 F_1) y_0 \\ F_2 &= h A(y_1) \\ y_2 &= \text{expm}(1/2 F_2) y_0 \\ F_3 &= h A(y_2) \\ y_3 &= \text{expm}(-1/2 F_1 + F_3) y_1 \\ F_4 &= h A(y_3) \\ y_4 &= \text{expm}( 1/4 F_1 + 1/6 F_2 + 1/6 F_3 - 1/12 F_4) \text{expm}(-1/12 F_1 + 1/6 F_2 + 1/6 F_3 + 1/4 F_4) y_0 \end{aligned}
Parameters: operator (openmc.deplete.TransportOperator) – Operator to perform transport simulations timesteps (iterable of float) – Array of timesteps in units of [s]. Note that values are not cumulative. power (float or iterable of float, optional) – Power of the reactor in [W]. A single value indicates that the power is constant over all timesteps. An iterable indicates potentially different power levels for each timestep. For a 2D problem, the power can be given in [W/cm] as long as the “volume” assigned to a depletion material is actually an area in [cm^2]. Either power or power_density must be specified. power_density (float or iterable of float, optional) – Power density of the reactor in [W/gHM]. It is multiplied by initial heavy metal inventory to get total power if power is not speficied. operator (openmc.deplete.TransportOperator) – Operator to perform transport simulations chain (openmc.deplete.Chain) – Depletion chain timesteps (iterable of float) – Size of each depletion interval in [s] power (iterable of float) – Power of the reactor in [W] for each interval in timesteps
