Uncertainty Quantification in High Explosives Equations of State [Slides]

In order to fit models to data, we need a way to simulate the data given a model. Our projects involved simulators for the Manganin gauge experiment and for cylinder tests, which we use to calibrate models to experiments. We call the parameters we seek to optimize the degrees of freedom (DOF). We use a Bayesian approach with its associated UQ benefits.

Open Data for Nuclear Explosion Monitoring (NEM) [Slides]

The data sources tend to have the highest quality data and metadata, particularly for more recent data sets. Early data from sources such as IRIS tend to have some metadata issues.

Collaborative Research: Explosive reconnection in relativistic magnetically-dominated plasmas

Magnetic fields can be the dominant component of astrophysical plasmas, so that the magnetic energy density might exceed even the rest-mass energy density of matter. In this extreme (and largely unexplored) regime the magnetic field controls the overall plasma evolution, dissipation, and acceleration of non-thermal particles. This plasma regime, applicable to a variety of astrophysical sources --- magnetars, pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), jets of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) and Gamma-Ray Bursters (GRBs) --- is dramatically different from laboratory plasmas, the magnetospheres of planets, and the interplanetary plasma. Relativistic astrophysical sources then provide an unique opportunity to study the fundamental plasma physics of magnetically-dominated plasmas; a novel and quickly evolving field of theoretical research which, by investigating energy conversion and particle energization processes in plasmas, is of vital importance to the Fusion Energy Sciences DoE program.

Airblast High Explosive Sensitivity Study

The ability to accurately simulate the flow produced inside the LANL blast tube is an important capability that is currently under development in W-13. This capability will be used to produce boundary conditions for structural simulations of blast tube tests. This capability could also be used to improve future blast tube test campaigns and inform future blast tube upgrades.
