Savannah River Site computing architecture migration guide (open access)

Savannah River Site computing architecture migration guide

The SRS Computing Architecture is a vision statement for site computing which enumerates the strategies which will guide SRS computing efforts for the 1990s. Each strategy is supported by a number of feature statements which clarify the strategy by providing additional detail. Since it is a strategic planning document, the Architecture has sitewide applicability and endorsement but does not attempt to specify implementation details. It does, however, specify that a document will be developed to guide the migration from the current site environment to that envisioned by the new architecture. The goal of this document, the SRS Computing Architecture Migration Guide, is to identify specific strategic and tactical tasks which would have to be completed to fully implement the architectural vision for site computing as well as a recommended sequence and timeframe for addressing these tasks. It takes into account the expected availability of technology, the existing installed base, and interdependencies among architectural components and objectives.

Polarizability corrections in stimulated Raman propagation (open access)

Polarizability corrections in stimulated Raman propagation

Traditional descriptions of stimulated Raman scattering relate the various Stokes and anti-Stokes fields to the incident pump field by means of a polarizability (tensor). This description is usable for pulsed radiation but it fails when the pump carrier frequency coincides with a resonant frequency of the medium. We here describe a simple procedure for correcting the traditional polarizability approximation for pulse envelopes so as to account for effects of finite pump bandwidth. The correction amounts to the introduction of an auxiliary field envelope that incorporates pump dispersion. We apply this procedure to the equations for a degenerate, Doppler broadened ensemble of three-level atoms, in which the uppermost (virtual) level is close to resonance with the pump carrier frequency. This system becomes a two-level Raman system, but with a correction to the Raman Hamiltonian and the propagation equation. The plane-wave propagation equations presented include dispersive as well as Raman effects, and allow arbitrary combinations of field polarizations. We comment on several incidental aspects of Raman propagation, including dynamic Stark shifts, sublevel averages and fluence equations.

Coal surface control for advanced fine coal flotation (open access)

Coal surface control for advanced fine coal flotation

The primary objective in the scope of this research project is to develop advanced flotation methods for coal cleaning in order to achieve near total pyritic-sulfur removal at 90% Btu recovery, using coal samples procured from three major US coal seams. Concomitantly, the ash content of these coals is to be reduced to 6% or less. Investigation of mechanisms for the control of coal and pyrite surfaces prior to fine coal flotation is the main aspect of the project objectives. The results of this research are to be made available to ICF Kaiser Engineers who are currently working on the Engineering Development of Advanced Flotation under a separate contract with DOE under the Acid Rain Control Initiative program. A second major objective is to investigate factors involved in the progressive weathering and oxidation of coal that had been exposed to varying degrees of weathering, namely, open to the atmosphere, covered and in an argon-inerted'' atmosphere, over a period of twelve months. After regular intervals of weathering, samples of the three base coals (Illinois No. 6, Pittsburgh No. 8 and Upper Freeport PA) were collected and shipped to both the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California at Berkeley for …

(Development of high spectral resolution lidar technology) (open access)

(Development of high spectral resolution lidar technology)

The first year of this grant has been devoted to the design and construction of an upgraded version of the University of Wisconsin High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL). The new system incorporates additional data channels to measure depolarization and multiple scattering in the lidar return. Schematic diagrams describing the new configurations are attached to this report. Increases in optical efficiency and receiver aperture, coupled with improvements in the stiffness and the thermal stability of the mechanical system are expected to significantly improve the performance of the instrument. Most components of the system are nearly completed and system integration is about to begin. The HSRL is committed to participate in the NASA FIRE cirrus experiment during November and December of this year. Our progress is completing HSRL subsystems is outlined in the following paragraphs. 3 figs.

Calculation of drift seepage for alternative emplacementdesigns (open access)

Calculation of drift seepage for alternative emplacementdesigns

The calculations presented in this report are performed to obtain seepage rates into drift and boreholes for two alternative designs of drift and waste emplacement at Yucca Mountain. The two designs are defined according to the Scope of Work 14012021M1, activity 399621, drafted October 6, 1998, and further refined in a conference telephone call on October 13, 1998, between Mark Balady, Jim Blink, Rob Howard and Chin-Fu Tsang. The 2 designs considered are: (1) Design A--Horizontal boreholes 1.0 m in diameter on both sides of the drift, with each borehole 8 m long and inclined to the drift axis by 30 degrees. The pillar between boreholes, measured parallel to the drift axis, is 3.3 m. In the current calculations, a simplified model of an isolated horizontal borehole 8 m long will be simulated. The horizontal borehole will be located in a heterogeneous fracture continuum representing the repository layer. Three different realizations will be taken from the heterogeneous field, representing three different locations in the rock. Seepage for each realization is calculated as a function of the percolation flux. Design B--Vertical boreholes, 1.0 m in diameter and 8.0 m deep, drilled from the bottom of an excavated 8.0 m diameter drift. …
