LLNL IPD Tasks: ICSBEP and Pulsed Spheres Benchmark [Slides]

This lecture presented benchmark of the blank and polyethylene spheres at SINBAD in April 2023. In responding to comments about the building, we uncovered a large amount of additional detailed information about the building and experimental set up. We incorporated this new information into an even higher fidelity model and are working on uncertainty analysis at a low level. Scheduled to present at SINBAD meeting in April 2024.

STCH quarterly report_LLNL input

In this quarter, to understand the co-limitation imposed by surface reaction kinetics at moderate-to-low water splitting temperatures, we compute the reaction energy and barrier for water splitting surface reaction on SrMn 0.5 Ti 0.5 O 3-δ (SMT55). First, using the low-energy (100), (110), and (111) surfaces, we attempted to identify several symmetrically distinct sites for oxygen vacancy based on statistical methods.

LLNL FY24 Aging and Lifetimes Exit Criteria: Milestone 9134, GC#2, EC#2

Surface chemistry of uranium from gases in the ambient atmosphere of the application environment presents significant challenges due to the high degree of reactivity of the substrate and the ubiquity of these gases in experimental setups. Relatively little is known about the chemical mechanism and reaction rates for the catalytic dissociation of atmospheric gases on solid plutonium or uranium as well as the degradation process to form the metal hydride. Experimental studies and age-aware modeling efforts would greatly benefit from detailed atomistic knowledge of the chemical reactivity in these materials.

LLNL-LDRD-Final report

The main focus of this study is the X-ray spectroscopy and complementary modeling characterization of the range of perovskite materials. Specific areas covered in this study include: • Quantitative characterization of individual (both CB and VB) band edge movement as a function of Sn concentration; • The effects of creating an interface with the charge transport layer and back contact on both the interfacial bonding and unoccupied band structure – i.e., how does the interfacial eDOS evolve when the interface is assembled; • How does this interface change (local bonding, CB edge) evolve with degradation – this includes depth profiling; • Additional insights from the spectroscopy – e.g., the pathway of degradation (Sn(II) oxide formation to a significant depth before Sn(IV) oxide formation, etc.), do different charge transport layers have distinct properties in slowing degradation, etc.

LLNL FESP Theory Highlights: August 2024

The 2024 ABOUND SciDAC and BOUT++ combined workshop was held August 5-9 th 2024 at the University of California Livermore Collaboration Center (UCLC) in Livermore. Bringing together leading scientists and researchers from across the globe, this pivotal event focused on advancing plasma physics and boundary plasma dynamics within the context of fusion energy research. Key discussions throughout the meeting highlighted significant advancements in the BOUT++ framework, including enhanced simulations of small Edge Localized Modes (ELMs) and the initiation of integrating the integration of the 5D GEM gyrokinetic turbulence core code with the 2D SOLPS-ITER boundary transport code. These developments are crucial for managing heat loads in fusion reactors and supporting the longevity of plasma-facing components. The event also featured a session on Inter-SciDAC Collaborations, where principal investigators from multiple U.S. FES SciDAC tokamak projects explored opportunities for cross-collaboration. Additionally, the meeting showcased cutting-edge advancements in GPU acceleration and AI/ML technologies, poised to drive the next generation of fusion research. In his closing remarks, Dr. Xueqiao Xu emphasized the importance of the collaborative efforts and discussions that took place, noting their potential to shape future breakthroughs in fusion energy. The event underscored the global nature of the BOUT++ collaboration, with contributions from over 57 institutions worldwide. The 2024 BOUT++ and ABOUND Joint Hybrid Meeting continues to drive forward the research and innovations needed to achieve fusion energy, setting the stage for future collaboration and discovery.
