Simulation of the Uranium Crystallization Process Using Cellular Automata

Abstract:

This article is devoted to the simulation of the uranium crystallization process. Emphasis is placed on developing a mathematical model of the crystal growth using the cellular automata theory. It is used quantities such as dislocation density and crystal orientation as state variables. Cellular automata are defined on two-dimensional lattice. Physics of the process are taken into consideration in this approach. It is allowed setting complex boundary conditions, consider the complex phase transitions with intermediates, and hypothesize regarding phase’s formation and concentration and temperature fields distribution. Optimization of uranium crystallization process is accepted to get especially pure nuclear materials.
