Equivalent Boundary Types

User Support

Hello Community,

I am using OpenMC and Serpent to go on and make a benchmark model for a reactor. I need the boundary conditions to match on my models. I have set the boundary condition on my Serpent model to 1 (set bc 1), which is a black boundary i.e., the particle is killed. I was wondering what the equivalent of this boundary condition is in OpenMC. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi Jimmyvdw

That sounds like a boundary_type="vacuum" to me, but here is a link to the docs on boundary types to see all the options

Hey @Shimwell, I think you are correct. Just implemented this and they now seem to be operating a lot more similarly. Thank you.
