Differentiable Multiphysics Codes: A Breakthrough Technology for Simulation and Computing

This document summarizes the findings of a strategic planning exercise commissioned by the Weapons Simulation and Computing, Computational Physics (WSC/CP) program at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in FY24. During the year, the committee met with multiple stakeholder communities to gather input, opinions, suggestions and concerns which have been incorporated throughout this document. The key findings from this exercise are summarized: • The development of multiphysics modelling and simulation (mod/sim) codes and software technologies, their deployment on exascale compute platforms, and their broad adoption across the NNSA is a major success of the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) program and the Exascale Computing Project (ECP). Sustained investment in these core technologies is essential. • Today’s state of the art involves running ensembles of O(100K) simulations to perform uncertainty quantification (UQ) and design studies using multiple statistical methods such as Bayesian optimization to understand sensitivities of our models and explore parameterized design spaces. Even with exascale computing, we are practically limited to O(10) parameters in these studies since the number of simulations required to sample the space scales exponentially with the number of design parameters. • The data from these simulation ensembles is increasingly being used to train machine learned (ML) surrogates (or reduced order models, ROMs) which can then be used for optimization or real time design exploration. However, the trained surrogates are still limited in the number of parameters they can represent due to the sampling limitations previously noted. • Augmenting our suite of integrated multiphysics simulation codes, both current and emerging, with the ability to compute gradients (solution derivatives) of arbitrary simulation outputs with respect to (some or all) simulation inputs would be a breakthrough technology, opening the door to a new era of efficient and automated inverse design based on verified and validated mod/sim capabilities. • This capability, which we refer to as differentiable multiphysics codes (DMCs), would revolutionize both UQ and optimization studies by breaking the curse of dimensionality that presently limits our “gradient-free” ensemble based computing approach. A similar breakthrough occurred in the AI/ML community once the ability to compute gradients of arbitrary loss functions using back-propagation became commonplace. Gradient information from the multiphysics codes can also be used to dramatically improve the efficiency and scale of training of ML/ROM surrogates for rapid assessments. • Achieving this in our suite of codes will be a grand challenge, similar to the amount of effort that was required to transition from CPU to GPU computing. It will require buy-in from the entire WSC/CP program and beyond, including all integrated codes, physics and engineering models, third-party library dependencies and performance portability abstractions. It will also require investment in research and development of numerical methods for computing adjoints of coupled physics across multiple adaptively refined moving meshes and of stochastic (Monte Carlo) and mesh free (SPH) methods. • New software and numerical techniques, largely pioneered by the AI/ML community, make this feasible. Chief among these is automatic differentiation (AD), the ability to employ AD at point-wise locations in a physics calculation (instead of traditional black-box approaches) and the ability to perform “back-propagation in time” (or reverse mode AD) for non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs). Fundamentally, the conclusion of this strategic planning exercise is that the time is right to undertake a large scale effort in WSC, centered on the existing integrated codes, to continue the natural evolution of mod/sim in the age of AI/ML. Instead of attempting to replace mod/sim with purely data driven AI/ML models, we believe the key to success is to integrate AI/ML by building on top of the decades of hard-won knowledge and the verified/validated multiphysics modelling capability that is the hallmark of the ASC program.

Muon capture on deuteron using local chiral potentials

The muon capture reaction μ – + d → n + n + ν μ in the doublet hyperfine state is studied using nuclear potentials and consistent currents derived in the chiral effective field theory, which are local and expressed in coordinate space (the so-called Norfolk models). Only the largest contribution due to the 1 S 0 nn scattering state is considered. Particular attention is given to the estimate of theoretical uncertainty, for which four sources have been identified: 1) the model dependence, 2) the chiral-order convergence for the weak nuclear current, 3) the uncertainty in the single-nucleon axial form factor, and 4) the numerical technique adopted to solve the bound and scattering A = 2 systems. This last source of uncertainty has turned out to be essentially negligible. For the 1 S 0 doublet muon capture rate Γ D ( 1 S 0 ), we obtain Γ D ( 1 S 0 ) = 255.8(0.6) (4.4)(2.9) s –1 , where the three errors come from the first three sources of uncertainty. The value for Γ D ( 1 S 0 ) obtained within this local chiral framework is compared with previous calculations and found in very good agreement.

Halted-pendulum Relaxation: Application to White Dwarf Binary Initial Data

Studying compact-star binaries and their mergers is integral to determining progenitors for observable transients. Today, compact-star mergers are typically studied via state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics codes. One such numerical technique, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), is frequently chosen for its excellent mass, energy, and momentum conservation. The natural treatment of vacuum and the ability to represent highly irregular morphologies make SPH an excellent tool for the study of compact-star binaries and mergers. For many scenarios, including binary systems, the outcome of simulations is only as accurate as the initial conditions. For SPH, it is essential to ensure that the particles are distributed regularly, representing the initial density profile but without long-range correlations. Particle noise in the form of high-frequency local motion and low-frequency global dynamics must be damped out. Damping the latter can be as computationally intensive as the actual simulation. We discuss a new and straightforward relaxation method, halted-pendulum relaxation (HPR), to remove global oscillation modes of SPH particle configurations. In combination with effective external potentials representing gravitational and orbital forces, we show that HPR has an excellent performance in efficiently relaxing SPH particles to the desired density distribution and removing global oscillation modes. We compare the method to frequently used relaxation approaches and test it on a white dwarf binary model at its Roche-lobe overflow limit. We highlight the importance of our method in achieving accurate initial conditions and its effect on achieving circular orbits and realistic accretion rates when compared with other general relaxation methods.

Implementation of a High-Fidelity Interface Resolving Method in Nek5000

The development and utilization of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models for large, high-temperature electric melters in the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) in eastern Washington State have proven to be valuable for various purposes. These models allow for a better understanding of the physio-chemical processes occurring within the melter vessels and can contribute to improving operational efficiency, throughput, and addressing operational issues related to vitrification. The CFD models employed for these melter vessels incorporate multiphase fluid flow and heat transfer simulations in different regions, including the plenum, cold cap, and molten glass regions. As the tank waste and glass formers are introduced into the melter, a reacting batch layer known as the cold cap forms on top of the molten glass. To enhance the melt rate, forced convection bubblers located at the bottom of the melters generate convection currents that help homogenize the molten glass and provide heat to the cold cap. As the bubbles rise through the highly viscous glass, they adopt a spherical-cap shape [1]. Meanwhile, the conversion of the batch to glass generates significant amounts of gases (such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and NOx) due to thermal decomposition [2]. These gases become trapped between the cold cap and molten glass, forming a foam layer [3]. For modeling multiphase flow in CFD and heat transfer simulations of waste glass melters at different scales, efforts are underway to augment the capabilities of the Nek5000 [4] and NekRS [5] open-source codes [6]. Nek5000/NekRS is a scalable and efficient spectral element code that has been successfully applied to a wide range of fluid dynamics problems. By leveraging the Nek5000/NekRS software, it becomes possible to model the melter systems more affordably and with lower computational requirements compared to currently utilized commercial CFD software. The specific objectives of this ongoing effort include: 1. Implementation of a level set method in Nek5000/NekRS: The level set method is a numerical technique commonly employed in CFD simulations to track and represent the interface between different phases or materials accurately. By incorporating this method into Nek5000/NekRS, the ability to simulate multiphase flows in waste glass melters at a high level of fidelity can be achieved. 2. Demonstration of capability for air bubbling through molten glass: As part of the development process, a specific case of air bubbling through molten glass will be simulated using the augmented Nek5000/NekRS code. This demonstration aims to showcase the ability of the software to accurately capture and analyze the complex phenomena involved in the multiphase flow within waste glass melters. By achieving these objectives, the improved Nek5000/NekRS code will offer a powerful computational tool for simulating and analyzing waste glass melter systems, enabling better understanding, optimization, and troubleshooting of these vitrification processes. The ability to accurately model and simulate multiphase flows has broad relevance across many industries and scientific domains, and the improved functionality can contribute to advancements in various fields beyond waste glass melter simulations.

Development of a Performance Portable Non-Equilibrium Plasma Fluid Solver on Adaptive Grids

This presentation will describe the numerical techniques, programming paradigms, verification, and performance of a non-equilibrium plasma fluid solver that can effectively utilize current and upcoming central processing and graphics processing unit (CPU+GPU) architectures. Our plasma fluid model solves the conservation equations for self-consistent electrostatic Poisson, electron and heavy species transport, and electron temperature on adaptive Cartesian grids. Our solver is written using performance portable adaptive mesh management library, AMReX (Zhang et al., JOSS, 4 (37) 1370, 2019), and can be built and run on widely available vendor specific GPU architectures (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel). We utilize a non-subcycled second order semi-implicit time-stepping method where all adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) levels are advanced with the same time step. The composite multi-level multigrid solver from within AMReX is used for each of the governing equations that are cast into a Helmholtz equation form. We have also developed a python based chemical mechanism parser framework that uses a similar format as CANTERA (Goodwin et al., Zenodo, 2018) yaml files as input. Our custom parser reads the yaml file and provides C++ files with transport and production rate functions that can be executed on both host (CPU) and device (GPU). We present verification of our solver using method of manufactured solutions that indicate formal second order accuracy with central diffusion and fifth order weighted-essentially-non-oscillatory (WENO) advection scheme. We also verify our solver with published literature on low-pressure capacitive and high-pressure streamer discharges. Our initial performance studies indicate 10X speed-up using 20 NVIDIA GPUs versus 200 CPUs for an atmospheric streamer discharge problem solved on a 512 x 1024 x 512 grid.

Double-real corrections to color singlet decay in a parton-shower inspired scheme

We introduce a local infrared subtraction method for next-to-next-to-leading order QCD calculations in color singlet decays, with counterterms based on scalar radiators and pure splitting functions. Overlapping singularities in the multipole radiation pattern are disentangled by partial fractioning, and the kinematics mapping corresponds to iterated next-to-leading order kinematics. We verify that the double-real remainder to $e^+e^-\to\;q\bar{q}$ is rendered finite in the single and double unresolved limits and investigate the numerical convergence of the Monte-Carlo integral. We compute the phase-space integrals of the scalar counterterms in the back-to-back configuration, both analytically and with the help of numerical techniques based on sector decomposition.

Numerical Studies of the On-Line Reactivity Monitoring Techniques in Subcritical Systems: Revisit of the Area-Ratio Method, the Neutron Source-Modulation Method, and the Flux-to-Current Ratio Method

In the subcritical systems, the subcriticality level must be monitored continuously to ensure the safe operation of the systems. Techniques such as the neutron source-modulation method and the flux-to-current ratio method have been proposed for on-line reactivity measurements of the subcritical systems. However, the accuracy of these methods is unknown in the actual applications. In this report, the fundamental concepts of these techniques are visited, with numerical simulation techniques developed to validate these on-line reactivity monitoring methodologies. Specifically, the Monte Carlo numerical simulation results show that the neutron source-modulation method is not accurate in determining the reactivity of the subcritical systems. The flux-to-current ratio method can provide on-line reactivity measurements, and its spatial effects have been studied and well understood through the numerical simulations of the fuel loading of the neutron source facility of Ukraine. In addition, a modified version of the area-ratio method is proposed for the on-line measurements of the absolute reactivity of the subcritical systems. Monte Carlo numerical simulations showed that this method can provide the absolute reactivity of the subcritical systems within ~5% error, if the neutron detectors are placed close to the fuel assembly interface with the reflector zone or in the reflector zones away from the neutron source.

Optimal Power Management of Battery Energy Storage Systems via Ensemble Kalman Inversion

Optimal power management of battery energy storage systems (BESS) is crucial for their safe and efficient operation. Numerical optimization techniques are frequently utilized to solve the optimal power management problems. However, these techniques often fall short of delivering real-time solutions for large-scale BESS due to their computational complexity. To address this issue, this paper proposes a computationally efficient approach. We introduce a new set of decision variables called power-sharing ratios corresponding to each cell, indicating their allocated power share from the output power demand. We then formulate an optimal power management problem to minimize the system-wide power losses while ensuring compliance with safety, balancing, and power supply-demand match constraints. To efficiently solve this problem, a parametrized control policy is designed and leveraged to transform the optimal power management problem into a parameter estimation problem. We then implement the ensemble Kalman inversion to estimate the optimal parameter set. The proposed approach significantly reduces computational requirements due to 1) the much lower dimensionality of the decision parameters and 2) the estimation treatment of the optimal power management problem. Finally, we conduct extensive simulations to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results show promise in accuracy and computation time compared with explored numerical optimization techniques.

An Asymptotically Compatible Coupling Formulation for Nonlocal Interface Problems with Jumps

Here, we introduce a mathematically rigorous formulation for a nonlocal interface problem with jumps and propose an asymptotically compatible finite element discretization for the weak form of the interface problem. After proving the well-posedness of the weak form, we demonstrate that solutions to the nonlocal interface problem converge to the corresponding local counterpart when the nonlocal data are appropriately prescribed. Several numerical tests in one and two dimensions show the applicability of our technique, its numerical convergence to exact nonlocal solutions, its convergence to the local limit when the horizons vanish, and its robustness with respect to the patch test.

Precision Computations in Strongly Coupled Conformal Field Theories (Final Technical Report)

Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are quantum field theories that are invariant under the conformal symmetry group (which includes translations and rotations, but also local rescalings of spacetime). They are building blocks of general quantum field theories, and appear in many areas of physics, including statistical physics, condensed matter physics, particle physics, and quantum gravity. Because of their extra symmetries, the mathematical structure of CFTs is tightly constrained, and this leads to the idea of the ``conformal bootstrap," which is to use these mathematical structures to constrain, and in some cases determine, CFT observables. A new numerical implementation of the conformal bootstrap idea appeared in 2008 with the work of Rattazzi, Rychkov, Tonni, and Vichi. Their observation was that certain bootstrap constraints (conformal symmetry and unitarity) could be combined to yield a convex optimization problem that constraints CFT data. By solving this convex optimization problem on a computer, one could obtain bounds on observables like critical exponents and operator product expansion (OPE) coefficients. Over the course of this award, the PI has improved numerical bootstrap techniques by optimizing known algorithms and finding new ones for performing the required convex optimization computations. The PI has applied these techniques to compute high-precision observables in several important strongly-coupled systems. The PI has also explored both analytical and numerical bootstrap methods for constraining the space of low energy effective field theories of quantum gravity, and developed new analytical techniques for CFT and QFT more broadly.

p -adic reconstruction of rational functions in multiloop amplitudes

Numerical reconstruction techniques are widely employed in the calculation of multiloop scattering amplitudes. In recent years, it has been observed that the rational functions in multiloop calculations greatly simplify under partial fractioning. In this article, we present a technique to reconstruct rational functions directly in partial-fractioned form, by evaluating the functions at special integer points chosen for their properties under a p -adic metric. As an application, we apply this technique to reconstruct the largest rational function in the integration-by-parts reduction of one of the rank-5 integrals appearing in two-loop five-point full-color massless amplitude calculations in quantum chromodynamics. The number of required numerical probes (per prime field) is found to be around 25 times smaller than in conventional techniques, and the obtained result is 130 times smaller. The reconstructed result displays signs of additional structure that could be used to further reduce its size and the number of required probes. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Super‐Droplet Method to Simulate Lagrangian Microphysics of Nuclear Fallout in a Homogeneous Cloud

Abstract Nuclear detonations produce hazardous local and global particles or fallout. Predicting fallout size, chemical components, and location is necessary to inform officials and determine immediate guidance for the public. However, existing nuclear detonation fallout models prescribe the particle size distributions based on limited observations. In this work, we apply the super‐droplet method, which is a numerical modeling technique developed for cloud microphysics, to simulate size distributions of particles in a mushroom cloud formed post‐detonation of a nuclear device. We model fallout formation and evolution with homogeneous nucleation and condensation of a single species and a Monte Carlo coagulation algorithm. We verify the numerical methods representing coagulation and condensation processes against analytical test problems. Additionally, we explore several scenarios for the integral system mass and yield in equivalent kilotons (kt) of TNT (trinitrotoluene). The fallout size distribution median diameter d pg follows a scaling law based on the integral system mass m v 0 kg and yield Y kt: nm. We test the effect of cloud turbulence, enhanced nucleation and growth, and vapor volatility with a sensitivity study. The range in median diameter predictions for simulations of historical tests performed over the Pacific encompass the measurements of particles sampled from the cloud caps. Predicted median particle size ranges up to 217, 123, 86, and 35 nm for historical tests with yields of 0.2, 0.7, 2, and 10 Mt, respectively. This work can be expanded in many different directions to build a more predictive model for fallout formation.

Nuclear Responses with Neural-Network Quantum States

We introduce a variational Monte Carlo framework that combines neural-network quantum states with the Lorentz integral transform technique to compute the dynamical properties of self-bound quantum many-body systems in continuous Hilbert spaces. While broadly applicable to various quantum systems, including atoms and molecules, in this initial application we focus on the photoabsorption cross section of light nuclei, where benchmarks against numerically exact techniques are available. Our accurate theoretical predictions are complemented by robust uncertainty quantification, enabling meaningful comparisons with experiments. Here, we demonstrate that a relatively simple nuclear Hamiltonian—based on a leading-order pionless EFT expansion and known to accurately reproduce ground-state energies of nuclei with 𝐴 ≤ 40—also provides a reliable description of the photoabsorption cross section.

SonicPy: a suite of programs for ultrasound pulse-echo data acquisition and analysis

Sound speed and elastic constants measurements in solids and liquids are commonly performed using the ultrasound pulse-echo technique. Recent advances have expanded the use of this technique at numerous high pressure synchrotron beamlines and offline laboratories. However, the increased experimental throughput has revealed many limitations in existing software for handling the rapid measurement and the subsequent data-reduction. Here, we report the development of a collection of computer programs for sound speed measurements using the ultrasound pulse-echo technique, compatible with stepped multi-frequency, as well as broadband-pulse, couplant-corrected methods. The programs provide a highly interactive graphical interface, enable efficient measurement, exploration and near real-time analysis of the ultrasound data, and contain features useful for working with samples under high pressure and/or high temperature. The included analysis programs can alleviate the time required for data reduction from hours to less than a minute, allowing users to make timely and informed decisions regarding the appropriate experimental parameters.

Calibrating the Classical Hardness of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm

The trading of fidelity for scale enables approximate classical simulators such as matrix product states (MPSs) to run quantum circuits beyond exact methods. A control parameter, the so-called bond dimension $\mathcal{χ}$ for MPSs, governs the allocated computational resources and the output fidelity. Here, we characterize the fidelity for the quantum approximate optimization algorithm by the expectation value of the cost function that it seeks to minimize and find that it follows a scaling law $\mathscr{F}$(ln $\mathcal{χ}$/N), where N is the number of qubits. With ln $\mathcal{χ}$ amounting to the entanglement that a MPS can encode, we show that the relevant variable for investigating the fidelity is the entanglement per qubit. Importantly, our results calibrate the classical computational power required to achieve the desired fidelity and benchmark the performance of quantum hardware in a realistic setup. For instance, we quantify the hardness of performing better classically than a noisy superconducting quantum processor by readily matching its output to the scaling function. Moreover, we relate the global fidelity to that of individual operations and establish its relationship with $\mathcal{χ}$ and N. We sharpen the requirements for noisy quantum computers to outperform classical techniques at running a quantum optimization algorithm in speed, size, and fidelity.

Electronic density response of warm dense matter

Matter at extreme temperatures and pressures—commonly known as warm dense matter (WDM)—is ubiquitous throughout our Universe and occurs in astrophysical objects such as giant planet interiors and brown dwarfs. Moreover, WDM is very important for technological applications such as inertial confinement fusion and is realized in the laboratory using different techniques. A particularly important property for the understanding of WDM is given by its electronic density response to an external perturbation. Such response properties are probed in x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) experiments and are central for the theoretical description of WDM. In this work, we give an overview of a number of recent developments in this field. To this end, we summarize the relevant theoretical background, covering the regime of linear response theory and nonlinear effects, the fully dynamic response and its static, time-independent limit, and the connection between density response properties and imaginary-time correlation functions (ITCF). In addition, we introduce the most important numerical simulation techniques, including path-integral Monte Carlo simulations and different thermal density functional theory (DFT) approaches. From a practical perspective, we present a variety of simulation results for different density response properties, covering the archetypal model of the uniform electron gas and realistic WDM systems such as hydrogen. Moreover, we show how the concept of ITCFs can be used to infer the temperature from XRTS measurements of arbitrary complex systems without the need for any models or approximations. Finally, we outline a strategy for future developments based on the close interplay between simulations and experiments.

CFD modeling of turbulent air flow in self-heated gyroid TPMS structures: Thermal-hydraulic performance and validation

The application of mathematically derived geometries, such as triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattices, has garnered significant interest across various fields, including the nuclear sector, due to their superior thermal-hydraulic characteristics for heat transfer compared to traditional plain or finned tubes. Here, this study validates a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, evaluates different turbulence models and CFD model settings, and performs uncertainty quantification to provide a comprehensive analysis. Despite extensive research on CFD modeling of TPMS lattices, such as gyroid and diamond geometries, there is a notable lack of publicly available literature providing comprehensive details on numerical analysis aspects, including convergence and methodological best practices. This study embarks on a benchmark analysis of a gyroid geometry to evaluate its thermal-hydraulic performance under turbulent flow conditions and scrutinize various CFD model configurations. The main contributions of this work include validating the CFD model, assessing and comparing different turbulence models, and enhancing pressure drop and temperature prediction capabilities. The results aim to support the development of methodologies needed to benchmark and enhance numerical analysis techniques for TPMS lattices. This work seeks to complement the existing body of knowledge, support the development of TPMS reactor concepts, and improve best practices for CFD modeling of TPMS lattices, ultimately advancing methodologies to support future applications in this domain.
