\subsection{The {\tt GEO:} module}\label{sect:GEOData}

The \moc{GEO:} module is used to create or modify a geometry. The geometry
definition module in DRAGON permits all the characteristics (coordinates,
region mixture and boundary conditions) of a simple or complex
geometry to be specified. The method used to specify the geometry is independent
of the discretization module to be used subsequently. Each geometry is stored in
the form of a \dds{geometry} data structure under its given name. It is
always possible to modify an existing geometry or copy it under a new name. 
The calling specifications are:

\begin{DataStructure}{Structure \dstr{GEO:}}
$\{$ \\
\hskip 0.3cm \dusa{GEONAM} \moc{:=} \moc{GEO:} $\{$ \dusa{GEONAM} $|$ \dusa{OLDGEO} $\}$

\end{DataStructure}

the type of geometry that will be define and the contents of this geometry
(dimensions, materials, boundary conditions). The module \moc{GEO:} can be
recursively called from 
\dstr{descgcnt} as an embedded module, in order to define sub-geometries:

where: 

\begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmm}

\item[\moc{X-}/\moc{X+}] keyword to specify the boundary conditions associated with the
negative or positive $X$ surface of a Cartesian geometry.

\item[\moc{Y-}/\moc{Y+}] keyword to specify the boundary conditions associated with the
negative or positive $Y$ surface of a Cartesian geometry.

\item[\moc{Z-}/\moc{Z+}] keyword to specify the boundary conditions associated with the
negative or positive $Z$ surface of a Cartesian geometry.          

\item[\moc{R+}] keyword to specify the boundary conditions associated with the
outer surface of a cylindrical or spherical geometry.

\item[\moc{HBC}] keyword to specify the boundary conditions associated with
the outer surface of an hexagonal geometry.

\item[\moc{VOID}] keyword to specify that the surface under consideration has
zero re-entrant angular flux. This side is an external surface of the domain.

\item[\moc{REFL}] keyword to specify that the surface under consideration has a reflective boundary condition. In 
most DRAGON calculations, this implies an isotropic or white boundary conditions. This condition defines a specular (or cyclic)
boundary condition in case where the tracking is performed with module {\tt SALT:}. A Cartesian geometry is never
unfolded to take into account a \moc{REFL} boundary condition.

\item[\moc{SSYM}] keyword to specify that the surface under consideration has a specular (or mirror) reflective boundary condition. The 
main difference between \moc{REFL} and \moc{SSYM} is that for \moc{SSYM} the cell may be unfolded to take 
into account the reflection at the boundary.

\item[\moc{DIAG}] keyword to specify that the Cartesian surface under
consideration has the same properties as that associated with a diagonal through
the geometry (see \Fig{cartebc}). Note that two and only two \moc{DIAG} surfaces must be specified.
The diagonal symmetry is only permitted for square geometry and in the following
combinations:  

\begin{verbatim}
X+ DIAG Y- DIAG 
\end{verbatim}

\noindent
or

\begin{verbatim}
X- DIAG Y+ DIAG 
\end{verbatim}

\item[\moc{TRAN}] keyword to specify that the surface under consideration is
connected to the opposite surface of a Cartesian domain (see \Fig{cartebcr}) or to
the opposite surface of a full hexagon. This option  provides
the facility to treat an infinite geometry with translation symmetry. The only
combinations of translational symmetry permitted are:

\begin{itemize}
\item Translation along the $X-$axis

\begin{verbatim}
X- TRAN X+ TRAN 
\end{verbatim}

\item Translation along the $Y-$axis

\begin{verbatim}
Y- TRAN Y+ TRAN 
\end{verbatim}

\item Translation along the $Z-$axis

\begin{verbatim}
Z- TRAN Z+ TRAN 
\end{verbatim}

\item Hexagonal translation

\begin{verbatim}
HBC COMPLETE TRAN
\end{verbatim}

\end{itemize}

\item[\moc{SYME}] keyword to specify that the Cartesian surface under
consideration is virtual and that a reflection symmetry is associated with the
adequately directed axis running through the center of the cells closest to this
surface (see \Fig{cartebcr}). Only the hexagonal geometries \moc{S30} and \moc{SA60} can be
surrounded by a \moc{SYME} boundary condition if a specular condition
is to be applied on this boundary.

\item[\moc{ALBE}] keyword to specify that the surface under consideration has
an arbitrary albedo. This side is an external surface of the domain.

\item[\dusa{albedo}] geometric albedo corresponding to the boundary condition
\moc{ALBE} (\dusa{albedo}$>$0.0). The condition ``{\tt ALBE 1.0}" is used to define an isotropic (or white)
boundary condition in case where the tracking is performed with module {\tt SALT:}. The default value is
\dusa{albedo}$=$0.0.

\item[\dusa{icode}] index of a physical albedo corresponding to the boundary
condition \moc{ALBE}. The numerical values of the physical albedo are supplied
by the operator \moc{MAC:} (see \Sect{MACData}).

\item[\moc{ZERO}] keyword to specify that the surface under consideration has a
zero-flux boundary condition. This side is an external surface of the domain.

\item[\moc{PI/2}] keyword to specify that the surface under consideration has a
$\pi$/2 rotational symmetry (see \Fig{cartebcr}). The only $\pi$/2 symmetry permitted is related to
sides ({\tt X-} and {\tt Y-}). This condition can be combined with a translation
boundary condition:({\tt PI/2 X- TRAN X+}) and/or ({\tt PI/2 Y- TRAN Y+}) (see \Fig{cartebct}).

\item[\moc{PI}] keyword to specify that the surface under consideration has a
$\pi$ rotational symmetry (see \Fig{cartebcr}). This keyword is useful for representing a
Cartesian checkerboard pattern as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:cartebcdam}.

\item[\moc{CYLI}] the side under consideration has a zero incoming current boundary condition
with a circular correction applied on the Cartesian boundary. This option is only available in
the $X$--$Y$ plane for \moc{CAR2D} and \moc{CAR3D} geometries defined for TRIVAC full--core calculations.

\item[\moc{ACYL}] the side under consideration has an arbitrary albedo with a circular correction
applied on the Cartesian boundary. This option is only available in
the $X$--$Y$ plane for \moc{CAR2D} and \moc{CAR3D} geometries defined for TRIVAC full--core calculations.

\item[\moc{S30}] keyword to specify an hexagonal symmetry of one twelfth of an
assembly (see \Fig{s30}).

assembly (see \Fig{r120}).

(see \Fig{r120}).

assembly (see \Fig{sa180}).

\item[\moc{SB180}] keyword to specify an hexagonal symmetry of half a type B
assembly (see \Fig{sb180}).

\item[\moc{COMPLETE}] keyword to specify a complete hexagonal assembly (see
\Fig{compl}).

\item[\moc{RADS}] This key word is used to specify the cylindrical correction applied in the $X-Y$ plane for \moc{CAR2D} and \moc{CAR3D} geometries.\cite{roy}

\item[\moc{ANG}] This key word allows  the angle (see \Fig{corr})
of the cylindrical notch to be set. By default, no notch is present.

\item[\dusa{nrads}] Number of different corrections along the cylinder main axis (i.e. the $Z$ axis).

\item[\dusa{xrad}(ir)] Coordinate of the $Z$ axis from which the correction is applied.

\item[\dusa{rrad}(ir)] Radius of the real cylindrical boundary.

\item[\dusa{ang}(ir)] Angle of the cylindrical notch. This data is given if and only if the key word \moc{ANG} is present. \dusa{ang}(ir) $= {\pi \over 2}$ by default (i.e. the correction is applied at every angle).

The user should be warned that the maximum number of zones resulting from the above description of a geometry $L_{\rm{zones}}$ should not exceed the limits imposed by
\dusa{maxreg} and defined in the tracking module \moc{SYBILT:}, \moc{NXT:} or

  \begin{align*}
  L_x=&\sum_{i=1}^{\textit{lx}} \textit{ispltx}(i) \\

  6\times\textit{nhr}^{2} &if $\textit{nhr}> 1$\\
  6\times\textit{isplith}^{2} &otherwise  \\ \end{cases}
  \end{align*}

For mixed geometries, it is important to ensure that $L_{\rm{zones}}$ which represents the
sum over all the sub-geometries of the total number of regions $L^i_t$
associated with each pure sub-geometry $i$ computed using the technique
described above. For cluster geometries, only one region is associated with each
zone in a pin even if this pin is repeated \dusa{npins} times.

\subsubsection{Physical properties of geometry}\label{sect:descPP}

In addition to specifying the mixture associated with each region in the
geometry, the \dstr{descPP} structure is also used to provide information on the
sub-geometry required in this geometry. For example, an optional procedure in
DRAGON groups together regions so as to reduce the number of unknowns
\dusa{maxreg} in the flux calculation. In this way, only the merged regions
contribute to the cost of the calculation. However, the following points must be
considered:

\begin{enumerate}

\item All the cells belonging to the same merged region must have the same
nuclear properties and dimensions. 

\item The grouping procedure is based on the approximation that all the regions
belonging to the same merged region share the same flux. 

\item The merging can also take into account region orientation  (by a rotation
and/or transposition) before they are merged. This procedure facilitates the
merging of regions when a \moc{DIAG} or \moc{SYME} boundary condition is used. 

\end{enumerate}
The \dstr{descPP} structure has the following contents: 

\begin{DataStructure}{Structure \dstr{descPP}}
$[$ \moc{MIX} $\{$  (\dusa{imix}(i),i=1,$n_t$) $[$ \moc{REPEAT} $]~|$\\
$~~~~[[$ \moc{PLANE} \dusa{iplan} $\{$ (\dusa{imix}(i),i=1,\dusa{lp}) $|$ \moc{SAME} \dusa{iplan1}\\

$[$ \moc{MIX-NAMES} (\dusa{NAMMIX}(i),i=1,\dusa{maxmix}) $]$
\end{DataStructure}

The inputs associated with this structure have the following meaning:

\begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmm}

\item[\moc{MIX}] keyword to specify the isotopic mixture number or
sub-geometry associated
with each region inside the geometry. When diagonal symmetries are considered,
only the mixture associated with regions inside the symmetrized geometry need to
be specified. When a sub-geometry is located inside symmetrized geometry but
outside the calculation region it must be declared {\sl virtual} (for example,
the corners of a nuclear reactor). 

\item[\dusa{imix}] array of $n_{t}\le N_t$ integers {\sl or} character variables associated
with each region. An integer is a mixture number associated with a region
\dusa{imix}$\le$\dusa{maxmix} (see \Sectand{MACData}{LIBData}). If
\dusa{imix}=0, the corresponding volume is replaced by a void region. If
\dusa{imix} is a character variable, it is replaced by the corresponding
sub-geometry or {\sl generating cell}. These values must be specified in
the following order for most geometries: 

\begin{enumerate}
\item radially from the inside out. 
\item from surface \moc{X-} to surface \moc{X+}
\item from surface \moc{Y-} to surface \moc{Y+}
\item from surface \moc{Z-} to surface \moc{Z+}
\end{enumerate}

In the cases where a \moc{CARCELX} and a \moc{TUBEX} geometry are defined then we will use 

\begin{enumerate}
\item radially from the inside out ($lr+1$ mixtures for \moc{CARCELX} and $lr$ for \moc{TUBEX}). 
\item from surface \moc{Y-} to surface \moc{Y+}
\item from surface \moc{Z-} to surface \moc{Z+}
\item from surface \moc{X-} to surface \moc{X+}
\end{enumerate}

Finally, for a \moc{CARCELY} and \moc{TUBEY} geometry are defined the following order is considered:

\begin{enumerate}
\item radially from the inside out ($lr+1$ mixtures for \moc{CARCELY} and $lr$ for \moc{TUBEY}) 
\item from surface \moc{Z-} to surface \moc{Z+}
\item from surface \moc{X-} to surface \moc{X+}
\item from surface \moc{Y-} to surface \moc{Y+}
\end{enumerate}

In the cases where a sectorized cell geometry is defined, \dusa{imix} must
be defined in each sector, following the order shown in \Figand{rect3}{hexa3}.
Also note that \dusa{imix} is {\sl not affected} by the values of the
mesh-splitting indices \dusa{ispltx}, \dusa{isplty}, \dusa{ispltz}
or \dusa{ispltr}.

\item[\moc{REPEAT}] keyword to specify the previous list of mixtures will be repeated. This is valid only when $N_t/n_t$ 
is an integer. If this keyword is absent and $n_t < N_t$, then the missing mixtures will be replaced 
with void (\dusa{imix}(i) $=0$).

\item[\moc{PLANE}] keyword to attribute mixture numbers to each volume inside a single 2-D plane. This option is 
valid only for 3-D geometries, Cartesian or hexagonal. 

\item[\dusa{iplan}] plane number for which material mixture are input. 

\item[\moc{SAME}] keyword to attribute the same material mixture numbers of the \dusa{iplan1} plane to the \dusa{iplan} plane. In 
hexagonal geometry, it can indicate that the mixture numbers of the current crown of the \dusa{iplan}th 
plane will be identical to those of the same crown of the \dusa{iplan1}th plane. 

\item[\dusa{iplan1}] plane number used as reference to input the current plane or crown(s). 

\item[\dusa{lp}] number of volumes in a plane. In Cartesian geometry, $lp=lx*ly$ and in hexagonal geometry, 
$lp=lh$. 

\item[\moc{CROWN}]  keyword to attribute mixture numbers to each hexagon of a single crown. This option is only 
valid for \moc{COMPLETE} hexagonal geometry definition. Each use of the keyword \moc{CROWN} increases 
the crown number by 1. So it is not required to give its number, but crowns must be defined from 
the center to the peripherical regions of a plane. 

\item[\dusa{lc}] number of hexagons in the current crown. For the \dusa{i}th crown of a compelete hexagonal plane, 
$lc=(i-1)*6$. The first crown is composed of only one hexagon. 

\item[\moc{ALL}] keyword to specify that the \dusa{lc} material mixture number of the current crown have the same value 
\dusa{jmix}. 

\item[\moc{UPTO}] keyword to attribute material mixture numbers of the current crown up to the \dusa{ic} one. 

\item[\dusa{ic}] number of the last crown in \moc{UPTO} option. Its value must be greater than equal to the current 
crown number.

\item[\moc{HMIX}] keyword to specify the virtual isotopic mixture associated with each region inside the geometry. These
virtual mixtures will be produced by homogenization in the {\tt EDI:} module (see \Sect{descedi}).

\item[\moc{CELL}] keyword to specify the location of the sub-geometry called
{\sl generating cells} in a Cartesian or hexagonal geometry.

\item[\dusa{HCELL}] array of sub-geometry {\tt character*12} names which will
be superimposed upon the current Cartesian geometry. The same sub-geometry may
appear in different positions within the global geometry if the material
properties and dimensions are identical. The concept of sub-geometry is useful
for the interface current method in a SYBIL calculation since the collision
probability matrix associated with each sub-geometry is computed independently
of its location in the geometry. In general, the neutron fluxes in identical
sub-geometry located at different locations will be different even if they are
associated with the same collision probability matrix. These sub-geometry names
must be specified in the following order: 

\begin{enumerate}
\item from surface \moc{X-} to surface \moc{X+}
\item from surface \moc{Y-} to surface \moc{Y+}
\item from surface \moc{Z-} to surface \moc{Z+}
\end{enumerate}

\item[\moc{MERGE}] keyword to specify that some sub-geometries or regions must
be merged. 

\item[\dusa{imerge}] array of numbers that associate a global sub-geometry or
region number with each sub-geometry or region. All the sub-geometries  or
regions with the same global number will be attributed the same flux.

\item[\moc{TURN}] keyword to specify that some sub-geometries must be rotated
in space before being located at a specific position.

\item[\dusa{HTURN}] array of  {\tt character*1} keywords to rotate
conveniently each sub-geometry. The letters {\tt A} to {\tt L} are used as
keywords to specify these rotation. For Cartesian geometries, the eight possible
orientations are shown in \Fig{oricart} while for hexagonal geometries
the permitted orientations are shown in \Fig{orihex}. For 3-D cells, the
same letters can be used to describe the rotation in the $X-Y$ plane. However,
an additional $-$ sign can be glued to the 2-D rotation identifier to
indicate reflection of the cell along the $Z$-axis ({\tt -A} to {\tt -L}).

\item[\moc{CLUSTER}] keyword to specify that pin (cylindrical) sub-geometry
will be inserted in the geometry (see \Fig{cluster}). 

\item[\dusa{NAMPIN}] array of cylindrical sub-geometry {\tt character*12} name 
representing a pin. This sub-geometry must be of type \moc{TUBE}, \moc{TUBEX},
\moc{TUBEY} or \moc{TUBEZ}.

\item[\moc{MIX-NAMES}] keyword to specify character names to material mixtures.
By default, the material mixtures are not named.

\item[\dusa{NAMMIX}] array of {\tt character*12} names for the material
mixtures.

\subsubsection{Double-heterogeneity}\label{sect:descDH}

The structure \dstr{descDH} provides the possibility to define a stochastic mixture of cylindrical or spherical micro-structures that can be distributed inside {\sl composite mixtures} of the current {\sl macro-geometry}. A composite mixture is represented by a {\sl material mixture index} with a value greater than \dusa{maxmix}, the maximum number of real mixtures. Each micro-structure can be composed of many micro-volumes.\cite{BIHET}

cylindrical geometry;

\item[\moc{SPHE}] keyword to specify that the micro-structures are of a
spherical geometry.

\item[\dusa{nmistr}] maximum number of micro-structure types in the composite mixtures. Each type of
micro-structure is characterized by its dimension and may have distinct
volumetric concentrations in each of the macro-geometry volumes. All the
micro-structures of a given type have the same nuclear properties in a given
macro-volume. The micro-structures of a given type may have different nuclear
properties within different macro-volumes.

\item[\dusa{nmilg}] number of composite mixtures. This is the number of material mixture indices of the macro-geometry with a value $>$\dusa{maxmix}.

\item[\dusa{ns}] array giving the number of sub-regions (tubes or spherical
shells) in the  micro-structures. Each type of micro-structures may contain a
different number of micro-volumes.

\item[\dusa{rs}] array giving the radius of the tubes or spherical shells
making up the micro-structures. For each type of micro structure $i$, we will
have an initial radius of \dusa{rs}$(1,i)=0.0$.

\item[\dusa{milie}] array giving the indices used to defined composite mixtures in the macro-geometry. These composite mixture indices must be $>$\dusa{maxmix}.

\item[\dusa{mixdil}] array giving the mixture indices associated with the diluent in each composite mixtures of the macro-geometry.  These values must be $\le$\dusa{maxmix}.

\item[\dusa{fract}] array of volumetric concentration ($V_{G}/V_{R}$) of
each micro-structures (volume $V_{G}$) in a given region (volume $V_{R}$) of the
macro-geometry.  

\item[\dusa{mixgr}] array giving the mixture index associated with each
region of the micro-structures. Note that \dusa{mixgr} should be specified only
for the regions of the micro-structure which have a concentration
\dusa{fract}$>$0. These values must be $\le$\dusa{maxmix}.

\subsubsection{Do-it-yourself geometries}\label{sect:descSIJ}

A {\sl do-it-yourself} geometry is an abstract representation of an assembly of arbitrary unit-cells defined in term of their probability of presence and of their probability to have a particular neighbor. Structure \dstr{descSIJ} is defined as

\begin{DataStructure}{Structure \dstr{descSIJ}}
$[$ \moc{POURCE} (\dusa{pcinl}(i),i=1,\dusa{lp}) $]$\\
$[$ \moc{PROCEL} ((\dusa{pijcel}(i,j),j=1,\dusa{lp}),i=1,\dusa{lp}) $]$
\end{DataStructure}

\noindent where
\begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmmm}

\item[\moc{POURCE}] keyword to specify that a {\sl do-it-yourself} type
geometry is to be defined, that is to say a geometry resembling the multicell
geometry seen in APOLLO-1.\cite{apollo1} This option permits the interactions

\item[\moc{PROCEL}] keyword to specify that in a {\sl do-it-yourself} type
geometry rather than using a statistical arrangement of cells, a pre-calculated
cell distribution is to be considered. If the \moc{POURCE} structure is
given without the \moc{PROCEL} structure, a {\sl statistical} approximation
is used, as defined in Ref.~\citen{apollo1}.

\item[\dusa{pijcel}] array giving the pre-calculated probability for a neutron
leaving a cell of type i to enter a cell of type j without crossing any other
cell. We require: 

$$|S(i){\it pcinl}(i){\it pijcel}(i,j)-S(j){\it pcinl}(j) {\it
pijcel}(j,i)|<10^{-4}$$

\noindent where $S(i)$ and $S(j)$ are the exterior surfaces area of the cells of
type $i$ and $j$ respectively.
