On the construction of the prediction error covariance matrix (open access)

On the construction of the prediction error covariance matrix

Implementation of a full Kalman filtering scheme in a large OGCM is unrealistic without simplification and one generally reduces the degrees of freedom of the system by prescribing the structure of the prediction error. However, reductions are often made without any objective measure of their appropriateness. In this report, we present results from an ongoing effort to best construct the prediction error capturing the essential ingredients of the system error that includes both a correlated (global) error and a relatively uncorrelated (local) error. The former will be captured by an EOF modes of the model variance whereas the latter can be detected by wavelet analysis.

Ab-Initio No-Core Shell Model (open access)

Ab-Initio No-Core Shell Model

We discuss the no-core shell model approach, an ab initio method with effective Hamiltonians derived from realistic nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials as a function of the finite harmonic-oscillator (HO) basis space. We present results for three and four nucleon systems in model spaces that include up to 50{Dirac_h}{Omega} and 18{bar h}{Omega} HO excitations, respectively. For these light systems we are in agreement with results obtained by other exact methods. Also, we calculate the properties of {sup 6}Li and {sup 6}He in model spaces up to 10{Dirac_h}{Omega}, and of {sup 12}C for model spaces up to 6{Dirac_h}{Omega}.

The History of the APS Shock Compression of Condensed Matter Topical Group (open access)

The History of the APS Shock Compression of Condensed Matter Topical Group

In order to provide broader scientific recognition and to advance the science of shock compressed condensed matter, a group of American Physical Society (APS) members worked within the Society to make this field an active part of the APS. Individual papers were presented at APS meetings starting in the 1940's and shock wave sessions were organized starting with the 1967 Pasadena meeting. Shock wave topical conferences began in 1979 in Pullman, WA. Signatures were obtained on a petition in 1984 from a balanced cross-section of the shock wave community to form an APS Topical Group (TG). The APS Council officially accepted the formation of the Shock Compression of Condensed Matter (SCCM) TG at its October 1984 meeting. This action firmly aligned the shock wave field with a major physical science organization. Most early topical conferences were sanctioned by the APS while those held after 1992 were official APS meetings. The topical group organizes a shock wave topical conference in odd numbered years while participating in shock wave/high pressure sessions at APS general meetings in even numbered years.

LDA+DMFT Approach to Materials with Strong Electronic Correlations (open access)

LDA+DMFT Approach to Materials with Strong Electronic Correlations

LDA+DMFT is a novel computational technique for ab initio investigations of real materials with strongly correlated electrons, such as transition metals and their oxides. It combines the strength of conventional band structure theory in the local density approximation (LDA) with a modern many-body approach, the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). In the last few years LDA+DMFT has proved to be a powerful tool for the realistic modeling of strongly correlated electronic systems. In this paper the basic ideas and the set-up of the LDA+DMFT(X) approach, where X is the method used to solve the DMFT equations, are discussed. Results obtained with X=QMC (quantum Monte Carlo) and X=NCA (non-crossing approximation) are presented and compared. By means of the model system La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}TiO{sub 3} we show that the method X matters qualitatively and quantitatively. Furthermore, they discuss recent results on the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition in the transition metal oxide V{sub 2}O{sub 3} and the {alpha}-{gamma} transition in the 4f-electron system Ce.

Experimental Results in Support of Simulating Progressive Crush in Carbon-Fiber Textile Composites (open access)

Experimental Results in Support of Simulating Progressive Crush in Carbon-Fiber Textile Composites

This report summarizes the findings of an experimental program conducted to support the modeling of the crush behavior of triaxial braid carbon fiber composites. The matrix material as well as braided panels and tubes were characterized in order to determine material properties, to assess failure modes, and to provide a test bed for new analytical and numerical tools developed specifically for braided composites. The matrix material selected by the ACC was an epoxy vinyl ester (Ashland Hetron 922). Tensile tests were used to compare two formulations-one used by the ACC and one recommended by the resin supplier. The latter was a faster reacting system and gelled in one-third the time of the ACC formulation. Both formulations had an average elongation at failure that was only half of the resin supplier's reported value. Only one specimen of each type came close to the reported elongation value and it was shown that failure invariably initiated at both surface and internal defects. Overall, the tensile properties of the two formulations were nearly identical, but those of the ACC system were more consistent. The properties of the ACC matrix formulation were measured in tension, shear, and compression and the average properties obtained in these …

The kinetic stabilizer: a route to simpler tandem mirror systems (open access)

The kinetic stabilizer: a route to simpler tandem mirror systems

As we enter the new millennium there is a growing urgency to address the issue of finding long-range solutions to the world's energy needs. Fusion offers such a solution, provided economically viable means can be found to extract useful energy from fusion reactions. While the magnetic confinement approach to fusion has a long and productive history, to date the mainline approaches to magnetic confinement, namely closed systems such as the tokamak, appear to many as being too large and complex to be acceptable economically, despite the impressive progress that has made toward the achievement of fusion-relevant confinement parameters. Thus there is a growing feeling that it is imperative to search for new and simpler approaches to magnetic fusion, ones that might lead to smaller and more economically attractive fusion power plants.

Isotopic Tracing of Fuel Components in Particulate Emissions from Diesel Engines using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) (open access)

Isotopic Tracing of Fuel Components in Particulate Emissions from Diesel Engines using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS)

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is an isotope-ratio measurement technique developed in the late 1970s for tracing long-lived radioisotopes (e.g., {sup 14}C half life = 5760 y). The technique counts individual nuclei rather than waiting for their radioactive decay, allowing measurement of more than 100 low-level {sup 14}C samples per day (Vogel et al, 1995). The LLNL AMS system is shown in Fig.1. The contemporary quantity of {sup 14}C in living things ({sup 14}C/C = 1.2 x 10{sup -12} or 110 fmol {sup 14}C/ g C) is highly elevated compared to the quantity of {sup 14}C in petroleum-derived products. This isotopic elevation is sufficient to trace the fate of bio-derived fuel components in the emissions of an engine without the use of radioactive materials. If synthesis of a fuel component from biologically-derived source material is not feasible, another approach is to purchase {sup 14}C-labeled material (e.g., dibutyl maleate (DBM)) and dilute it with petroleum-derived material to yield a contemporary level of {sup 14}C. In each case, the virtual absence of {sup 14}C in petroleum based fuels gives a very low {sup 14}C background that makes this approach to tracing fuel components practical. Regulatory pressure to significantly reduce the particulate emissions from …

Time-Accurate Computation of Viscous Flow Around Deforming Bodies Using Overset Grids (open access)

Time-Accurate Computation of Viscous Flow Around Deforming Bodies Using Overset Grids

Dynamically evolving boundaries and deforming bodies interacting with a flow are commonly encountered in fluid dynamics. However, the numerical simulation of flows with dynamic boundaries is difficult with current methods. We propose a new method for studying such problems. The key idea is to use the overset grid method with a thin, body-fitted grid near the deforming boundary, while using fixed Cartesian grids to cover most of the computational domain. Our approach combines the strengths of earlier moving overset grid methods for rigid body motion, and unstructured grid methods for Aow-structure interactions. Large scale deformation of the flow boundaries can be handled without a global regridding, and in a computationally efficient way. In terms of computational cost, even a full overset grid regridding is significantly cheaper than a full regridding of an unstructured grid for the same domain, especially in three dimensions. Numerical studies are used to verify accuracy and convergence of our flow solver. As a computational example, we consider two-dimensional incompressible flow past a flexible filament with prescribed dynamics.

Effects of Helium on Radiation Damage Processes in Iron (open access)

Effects of Helium on Radiation Damage Processes in Iron

Molecular dynamics calculations were performed to evaluate the energies of helium-related defects in ?-iron for investigation of helium behavior during irradiation. The interatomic potentials employed here were the Ackland Finnis-Sinclair N-body potential, the Wilson-Johnson potential and the ZBLBeck potential for describing interactions of Fe-Fe, Fe-He and He-He, respectively. The migration energy of interstitial helium is extremely low, indicating that an interstitial helium atom can migrate rapidly in the metal even at extremely low temperature, until the helium atom is trapped or escapes outside. One of the most efficient trapping sites for helium is a vacancy or small vacancy clusters (nanovoid). The formation energy of helium-vacancy clusters in iron was calculated as a function of the number of helium atoms and vacancies. The binding energy of an interstitial helium atom, a substitutional helium atom and a vacancy to the cluster was also determined as a function of the helium-to-vacancy ratio of the cluster. Helium is strongly bound to the helium-vacancy cluster, and it can stabilize the cluster, thereby increasing cluster lifetime by dramatically reducing thermal vacancy emission. The binding of helium and vacancies to a helium-vacancy cluster greatly depends on the helium-to-vacancy ratio of the cluster. For clusters with extremely high …
