Effect of pores and He bubbles on the thermal transport properties of UO₂ by molecular dynamics simulation

Journal Article Lee, C. -W. ; Chernatynskiy, A. ; Shukla, P. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

The thermal conductivities of UO₂ single crystals containing nanoscale size pores and He gas bubbles are calculated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics as a function of pore size and gas density in the bubble. As expected, the thermal conductivity decreases as pore size increases, while the decrease in thermal conductivity is determined to be more substantial than the predictions of traditional analytical models by Loeb and Maxwell-Eucken. However, the recent model of Alvarez, which is applicable when the phonon mean-free path is comparable to the pore size, is able to quantitatively reproduce the simulation results.

Molecular dynamics simulations of grain boundary thermal resistance in UO2

Journal Article Chen, Tianyi ; Chen, Di ; Sencer, Bulent H. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

By means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we have calculated Kaptiza resistance of UO2 with or without radiation damage. For coincident site lattice boundaries of different configurations, the boundary thermal resistance of unirradiated UO2 can be well described by a parameter-reduced formula by using boundary energies as variables. We extended the study to defect-loaded UO2 by introducing damage cascades in close vicinity to the boundaries. Following cascade annealing and defect migrations towards grain boundaries, the boundary energy increases and so does Kaptiza resistance. The correlations between these two still follow the same formula extracted from the unirradiated UO2. The findingmore »« less
