Heave Plate Hydrodynamic Coefficients for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines - A Compilation of Data

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's OpenFAST software is utilized by academics and industry professionals alike to simulate offshore wind turbines. The software's modeling of hydrodynamic loads on heave plates attached to these structures relies on user-specified hydrodynamic coefficients. To guide the proper selection of these coefficients and potentially develop a new functionality within OpenFAST that automatically prescribes and/or adjusts the heave-plate hydrodynamic coefficients, we review past literature to examine the dependence of the added mass, damping, and drag coefficients on various relevant nondimensional parameters, including the Keulegan-Carpenter number, the frequency parameter, and the plate thickness ratio. Existing data in the literature show strong dependence of the hydrodynamic coefficients on the Keulegan-Carpenter number. We observe consistent trends across a range of different plate geometry, plate porosity, and flow conditions. Secondary dependence of the coefficients on the frequency parameter and plate thickness ratio is also present.

Quantum Search Compiler (Qsearch) v2.0

Quantum Gate Synthesis is the process of taking a desired quantum gate operation, in this case specified as a unitary matrix, and decomposing it into a list of operations that can actually be performed on a quantum computer. Qsearch is an implementation of a quantum synthesis algorithm based on combining A* search with numerical optimization. It is designed to minimize CNOT count at the expense of having a long runtime. It produces particularly efficient quantum circuits in terms of CNOT count, up until about 4 qubits. It is generally impractical to run Qsearch on circuits with more than 4 qubits, but it can be used as a subroutine in algorithms designed to work with these larger circuits. Qsearch takes the form of a Python package, taking advantage of Numpy and Scipy, with part of the package written in Rust and taking advantage of OpenBLAS, NLOPT, and Google Ceres for faster runtime.

Methods to Collect, Compile, and Analyze Observed Short-lived Fission Product Gamma Data

A unique set of fission product gamma spectra was collected at short times (4 minutes to 1 week) on various fissionable materials. Gamma spectra were collected from the neutron-induced fission of uranium, neptunium, and plutonium isotopes at thermal, epithermal, fission spectrum, and 14-MeV neutron energies. This report describes the experimental methods used to produce and collect the gamma data, defines the experimental parameters for each method, and demonstrates the consistency of the measurements.

Compilation and Management of ORP Glass Formulation Database

The present report describes the first steps in the development of a glass property-composition database for WTP LAW and HLW glasses that includes all of the data that were used in the development of the WTP baseline models and all of the data collected subsequently as part of WTP enhancement studies performed for ORP. The data were reviewed to identify some of the more significant gaps in the composition space that will need to be filled to support waste processing at Hanford. The WTP baseline models have been evaluated against the new data in terms of range of validity and prediction performance.

Compilation of Criteria and Summaries from B332 Seismic Evaluations for the Initial Scoping Document Release of the HS-45 LLNL Audit, February 7, 2013

This study consists of separate evaluations of Increment I, Increment III and the Plenum Building. The analysis was limited to the structural components of these structures and did not include architectural features, components nor mechanical or electrical equipment or systems. The seismic analysis was an elastic dynamic analysis following the UCRL-15910 guidelines.

Compilation of Published PM2.5 Emission Rates for Cooking, Candles and Incense for Use in Modeling of Exposures in Residences

recent analysis of health impacts from air pollutant inhalation in homes found that PM2.5 is the most damaging at the population level. Chronic exposure to elevated PM2.5 has the potential to damage human respiratory systems, and may result in premature death. PM2.5 exposures in homes can be mitigated through various approaches including kitchen exhaust ventilation, filtration, indoor pollutant source reduction and designing ventilation systems to reduce the entry of PM2.5 from outdoors. Analysis of the potential benefits and costs of various approaches can be accomplished using computer codes that simulate the key physical processes including emissions, dilution and ventilation. The largest sources of PM2.5 in residences broadly are entry from outdoors and emissions from indoor combustion. The largest indoor sources are tobacco combustion (smoking), cooking and the burning of candles and incense. Data on the magnitude of PM2.5 and other pollutant emissions from these events and processes are required to conduct simulations for analysis. The goal of this study was to produce a database of pollutant emission rates associated with cooking and the burning of candles and incense. The target use of these data is for indoor air quality modeling.
