Radioactive heat

Methods

Radioactive heat sources are defined as

GeoParams.MaterialParameters.RadioactiveHeat.ConstantRadioactiveHeat Type

ConstantRadioactiveHeat(H_r=1e-6Watt/m^3)

Set a constant radioactive heat:

$$H_r=cst$$

where $H_r$ is the radioactive heat source [$Watt/m^3$].

source

GeoParams.MaterialParameters.RadioactiveHeat.ExpDepthDependentRadioactiveHeat Type

ExpDepthDependent(H_0=1e-6Watt/m^3, h_r=10e3m, z_0=0m)

Sets an exponential depth-dependent radioactive

$$H_r=H_0\exp (-\frac{z-z_0}{h_r})$$

where $H_0$ is the radioactive heat source [$Watt/m^3$] at $z=z_0$ which decays with depth over a characteristic distance $h_r$.
