ML-AMD/exa-pd

Exa-pd is a highly parallelizable workflow for constructing multi-element phase diagrams (PDs). It uses standard sampling techniques—molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC)—as implemented in the LAMMPS package, to simultaneously sample multiple phases on a fine temperature–composition mesh for free-energy calculations. The workflow uses Parsl as a global controller to manage the MD/MC jobs to achieve massive parallelization with almost ideal scalability. The resulting free energies of both liquid and solid phases (including solid solutions) are then fed to CALPHAD modeling using the PYCALPHAD package for the construction of a multi-element PD.

Report on hypre performance on AMD GPUs

In this report, the performance of the algebraic multigrid solver used as a preconditioner for conjugate gradient is investigated on 2 nodes of Spock, an early access system at ORNL with 4 MI-100 GPUs and a 64-core Rome CPU per node. We compare GPU and CPU performance for three different diffusion problems using increasing problem sizes.

Manned space flight nuclear system safety. Volume 3: Reactor system preliminary nuclear safety analysis. Part 2: Accident Model Document (AMD)

The Accident Model Document is one of three documents of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) - Reactor System as applied to a Space Base Program. Potential terrestrial nuclear hazards involving the zirconium hydride reactor-Brayton power module are identified for all phases of the Space Base program. The accidents/events that give rise to the hazards are defined and abort sequence trees are developed to determine the sequence of events leading to the hazard and the associated probabilities of occurence. Source terms are calculated to determine the magnitude of the hazards. The above data is used in the mission accident analysis to determine the most probable and significant accidents/events in each mission phase. The only significant hazards during the prelaunch and launch ascent phases of the mission are those which arise form criticality accidents. Fission product inventories during this time period were found to be very low due to very limited low power acceptance testing.

Wind-tunnel investigation of aerodynamic performance, steady amd vibratory loads, surface temperatures, and acoustic characteristics of a large-scale twin-engine upper-surface blown jet-flap configuration

Static and wind-on tests were conducted to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of and the effects of jet impingement on the wing of a large scale upper surface blown configuration powered with an actual turbine engine. The wing and flaps were instrumented with experimental dual-sensing transducer units consisting of a fluctuating pressure gage, a vibratory accelerometer, and a surface mounted alumel thermocouple. Noise directivity and spectral content measurements were obtained for various flap configurations and various engine thrust settings to provide baseline noise data for other upper surface blown configurations.

Recent developments of NASTRAN pre- amd post-processors: Response spectrum analysis (RESPAN) and interactive graphics (GIFTS)

Two specific NASTRAN preprocessors and postprocessors are examined. A postprocessor for dynamic analysis and a graphical interactive package for model generation and review of resuls are presented. A computer program that provides response spectrum analysis capability based on data from NASTRAN finite element model is described and the GIFTS system, a graphic processor to augment NASTRAN is introduced.

Continuing investigation of sweeping Jovian resonances - The 7:3 amd 3:2 resonances with further discussion of the 2:1 resonance

The formation of the solar system from an accretion disk around the protosun can have a significant impact on the celestial mechanics of the early solar system. The solids in the disk settled to the midplane and formed a planetesimal swarm while an early-formed Jupiter was present. The gravity of the disk makes the radial force law become non-Keplerian, causing the commensurability resonances of the early-formed Jupiter to be displaced from where they would otherwise be. An analysis similar to that previously applied to the 2:1, 3:1 and 5:2 resonances is presently undertaken for the 7:3 and 3:2 resonances, and a Kirkwood-like gap is obtained for a sweeping 7:3 resonance. An accumulation of objects is obtained near the 3:2 resonance which, with the ejection of objects on either side of the resonance, would resemble the Hilda group of asteroids. Agreement between the exact commensurability location and the gap center is discussed for the 2:1 resonance.

Assessment of a career development program for executive amd mid-level managers

This project sought to validate the competencies required of mid-level and executive managers at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), in order to enable an assessment of the Resident Management Education Program (RMEP). Forty (40) statements describing management competencies were presented to a sample of 37 KSC managers, who judged each as essential, useful but not essential, or not needed at each of two management levels. A content validity ratio (CVR) was calculated for each competency statement at the two management levels. There was general agreement on the validity of 36 or the 40 competency statements. Based on the content validity ratios and comments from respondents, recommendations for improvement of the RMEP were made.
