Moltres
Moltres is a MOOSE-application code designed for simulation of molten salt reactors.
Use
Moltres documentation can be found at http://arfc.github.io/software/moltres. Doxygen pages are here. Outlines of the kernels and boundary conditions used to construct the Moltres governing equations can be found on the Moltres wiki. Breakdown of a full-fledged Moltres input file can be found here. New Moltres users who have never used MOOSE before are encouraged to check-out its wiki, tutorials, and examples to help understand the underlying Moltres components.
Install
Moltres relies on the MOOSE framework. To install MOOSE please follow the
instructions at http://mooseframework.org/getting-started/. After installing
MOOSE, you can install Moltres by running the following commands in a shell
after changing into the directory holding your MOOSE directory (perhaps ~/projects
):
git clone https://github.com/arfc/moltres
cd moltres
git submodule init
git submodule update
make -j8
You may also compile a debug version of Moltres by running METHOD=dbg make -j8
. Note that you should replace 8
with the number of processors available
on your machine.
Testing
To ensure that Moltres is functioning properly, run ./run_tests -j8
from the
root of the Moltres directory.
Development
If you ever want to contribute changes to the Moltres repository, make sure you
run scripts/install-format-hook.sh
before making any commits. This will
ensure that any commits you make adhere to the MOOSE/Moltres C++ style. Pull
requests should be submitted to the devel
branch of the arfc/moltres
repository. Each pull request is automatically tested for style and for whether
it breaks any of the core Moltres physics capabilities.
