openmc-plasma-source
This python-based package offers a way of creating a parametric OpenMC plasma source from plasma parameters. The OpenMC sources are ring sources which reduces the computational cost and the settings.xml file size.
The equations implemented here are taken from this paper.
Installation
To install openmc-plasma-source, simply run:
pip install openmc-plasma-source
Basic usage
from openmc_plasma_source import Plasma
