The GFDL Variable-Resolution Global Chemistry-Climate Model for Research at the Nexus of US Climate and Air Quality Extremes

We present a variable-resolution global chemistry-climate model (AM4VR) developed at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) for research at the nexus of US climate and air quality extremes. AM4VR has a horizontal resolution of 13 km over the US, allowing it to resolve urban-to-rural chemical regimes, mesoscale convective systems, and land-surface heterogeneity. With the resolution gradually reducing to 100 km over the Indian Ocean, we achieve multi-decadal simulations driven by observed sea surface temperatures at 50% of the computational cost for a 25-km uniform-resolution grid. In contrast with GFDL's AM4.1 contributing to the sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project at 100 km resolution, AM4VR features much improved US climate mean patterns and variability. In particular, AM4VR shows improved representation of: precipitation seasonal-to-diurnal cycles and extremes, notably reducing the central US dry-and-warm bias; western US snowpack and summer drought, with implications for wildfires; and the North American monsoon, affecting dust storms. AM4VR exhibits excellent representation of winter precipitation, summer drought, and air pollution meteorology in California with complex terrain, enabling skillful prediction of both extreme summer ozone pollution and winter haze events in the Central Valley. AM4VR also provides vast improvements in the process-level representations of biogenic volatile organic compound emissions, interactive dust emissions from land, and removal of air pollutants by terrestrial ecosystems. We highlight the value of increased model resolution in representing climate–air quality interactions through land-biosphere feedbacks. AM4VR offers a novel opportunity to study global dimensions to US air quality, especially the role of Earth system feedbacks in a changing climate.

On the Response of a Herschel–Bulkley Fluid Due to a Moving Plate

In this paper, we study the boundary-layer flow of a Herschel–Bulkley fluid due to a moving plate; this problem has been experimentally investigated by others, where the fluid was assumed to be Carbopol, which has similar properties to cement. The computational fluid dynamics finite volume method from the open-source toolbox/library OpenFOAM is used on structured quad grids to solve the mass and the linear momentum conservation equations using the solver “overInterDyMFoam” customized with non-Newtonian viscosity libraries. The governing equations are solved numerically by using regularization methods in the context of the overset meshing technique. The results indicate that there is a good comparison between the experimental data and the simulations. The boundary layer thicknesses are predicted within the uncertainties of the measurements. The simulations indicate strong sensitivities to the rheological properties of the fluid.

Observation of shock-front separation in multi-ion-species collisional plasma shocks

We observe shock-front separation and species-dependent shock widths in multi-ion-species collisional plasma shocks, which are produced by obliquely merging plasma jets of a He/Ar mixture (97% He and 3% Ar by initial number density) on the plasma liner experiment. Visible plasma emission near the He-I 587.6-nm and Ar-II 476.5–514.5-nm lines is simultaneously recorded by splitting a single visible image of the shock into two different fast-framing cameras with different narrow bandpass filters (589 ± 5 nm for observing the He-I line and 500 ± 25 nm for the Ar-II lines). For conditions in these experiments (pre-shock ion and electron densities ≈5×10 14 cm –3 , ion and electron temperatures of ≈2.2 eV, and relative plasma-merging speed of 22 km/s), the observationally inferred magnitude of He/Ar shock-front separation and the shock widths themselves are <1 cm, which correspond to ~50 post-shock thermal ion–ion mean free paths. These experimental length scales are in reasonable qualitative and quantitative agreement with results from 1D multi-fluid simulations using the CHICAGO code. However, we note there are differences between the experimentally inferred and simulation-predicted ionization states and line emission intensities, particularly in the post-shock region. Overall, the experimental and simulation results are consistent with theoretical predictions that the lighter He ions diffuse farther ahead within the overall shock front than the heavier Ar ions.

Solving the Hele–Shaw flow using the Harrow–Hassidim–Lloyd algorithm on superconducting devices: A study of efficiency and challenges

The development of quantum processors for practical fluid flow problems is a promising yet distant goal. Recent advances in quantum linear solvers have highlighted their potential for classical fluid dynamics. In this study, we evaluate the Harrow–Hassidim–Lloyd (HHL) quantum linear systems algorithm (QLSA) for solving the idealized Hele–Shaw flow. Our focus is on the accuracy and computational cost of the HHL solver, which we find to be sensitive to the condition number, scaling exponentially with problem size. This emphasizes the need for preconditioning to enhance the practical use of QLSAs in fluid flow applications. Moreover, we perform shots-based simulations on quantum simulators and test the HHL solver on superconducting quantum devices, where noise, large circuit depths, and gate errors limit performance. Error suppression and mitigation techniques improve accuracy, suggesting that such fluid flow problems can benchmark noise mitigation efforts. Finally, our findings provide a foundation for future, more complex application of QLSAs in fluid flow simulations.

A Fast and Accurate Reduced-Order Model for High-Intensity Transferred Arc Discharges

Arc discharges are widely used in welding, plasma smelting, and other industrial processes, where variations in operating conditions strongly affect arc stability, temperature distribution, and energy transfer. Accurate modeling of these phenomena typically requires computationally expensive high-fidelity simulations. This study presents a hierarchy of three arc discharge models with progressively reduced physical fidelity. The high-fidelity model provides a fully physics-resolved reference, the reduced-order model reproduces the dominant thermal and flow characteristics of the arc with reasonable accuracy, and the Elenbaas-Heller model captures key trends in a simplified, rapid formulation. This hierarchy demonstrates that reduced-order model can effectively balance predictive fidelity and computational efficiency, providing practical tools for arc simulation and parametric studies.

Coupling solidification kinetics with phase-behavior computations in hydrodynamic simulations of high-pressure, dynamic-compression processes

In this study, we report a numerical scheme to integrate models for the kinetics of solidification processes together with phase-behavior computations in the context of continuum-scale hydrodynamic simulations. The objective of the phase-behavior computations is to determine the pressure and temperature, given the following three sets of inputs: (1) an appropriate equation of state to describe our system, (2) the phase fraction(s) produced by the kinetic models, (3) and the volume and internal energy obtained by solving the conservation equations that govern the hydrodynamic behavior. The kinetics are assumed to be governed by the Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl–Avrami equation, and the nucleation and growth rates that enter into that equation are functions of the pressure and temperature produced by the phase-behavior computations. Our formulation allows for the fluid and solid phases to be at different temperatures (thermal nonequilibrium) and pressures (arising from surface-tension-induced Laplace contributions). The formulation is presented in a fairly general setting that is independent of any particular material, although we demonstrate it in some examples related to high-energy-density science applications where materials are rapidly compressed to pressures exceeding several gigapascals in less than a microsecond. We conclude with a critical evaluation of our approach and provide suggestions for future work to improve the predictive capabilities and generality of the models.

Enhancing Adaptive Physics Refinement Simulations Through the Addition of Realistic Red Blood Cell Counts

Simulations of cancer cell transport require accurately modeling mm-scale and longer trajectories through a circulatory system containing trillions of deformable red blood cells, whose intercellular interactions require submicron fidelity. Using a hybrid CPU-GPU approach, we extend the advanced physics refinement (APR) method to couple a finely-resolved region of explicitly-modeled red blood cells to a coarsely-resolved bulk fluid domain. We further develop algorithms that: capture the dynamics at the interface of differing viscosities, maintain hematocrit within the cell-filled volume, and move the finely-resolved region and encapsulated cells while tracking an individual cancer cell. Comparison to a fully-resolved fluid-structure interaction model is presented for verification. Finally, we use the advanced APR method to simulate cancer cell transport over a mm-scale distance while maintaining a local region of RBCs, using a fraction of the computational power required to run a fully-resolved model.

Feasibility of an Accelerometer-Based Structural Health Monitoring System for the LANL Blast Tube

A modeling- and simulation-based study was conducted on the feasibility of implementing an accelerometer-based SHM system on the Los Alamos National Laboratory blast tube. A blast tube experiment was modeled using the Abaqus explicit finite element solver. A custom user subroutine was written to apply test-like pressure loading to the inside surface of the blast tube. The subroutine applies analytically defined pressure loads derived from tracer output taken from a Compressible Flow Computational Fluid Dynamics Solver model of the blast tube. Five unique versions of the model were created: an undamaged reference model at 65°F was used as the baseline and compared to equivalent models at 10°F and 100°F. These three models were compared to models with small damage at the reference temperature. The two types of damage considered were a radial (circumferential) crack in the main tube body and a longitudinal crack in the supports. Acceleration outputs were extracted from accelerometer bodies included in the model and were post processed using a variety of standard SHM techniques. Different potential features signaling failure were extracted and compared using statistical methods in the time and frequency domains. A method was identified that clearly shows that differences in structural response resulting from the modeled damage can be differentiated from the structural response resulting from changing environmental conditions. However, the amount of damage applied to create observable differences in the accelerometer data was so large that simpler methods of damage detection would be more cost effective in locating damage.

Modeling of thermal and kinetic processes in non-equilibrium plasma ignition applied to a lean combustion engine

In recent years novel ignition systems have been developed to enable stable and efficient engine operations with lean mixtures. Among them, radio-frequency corona ignition systems create discharges that involve a much wider region compared to traditional spark, and produce non equilibrium plasma with high levels of active radicals and excited species. These devices considerably increase the early flame growth speed and extend stable operating limits. With the aim of expanding the knowledge on high efficiency lean-burn SI engines, this paper investigates and compares the combustion development generated by spark and corona ignitions through computational fluid dynamics, within the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes framework for turbulence modeling. In order to simultaneously take thermal and chemical effects into account, the Perfectly Stirred Reactor combustion model is used. Experimental data are also collected for validation in an optical access engine, for different mixture levels, from stoichiometric to very lean. Furthermore, the faster burn rate generated by the corona system in the initial stage of the combustion is well predicted by the simulations, in all the relative air-fuel ratio conditions. Remarkably, as the mixture becomes lean, simulations are able to capture the non-linear transition from fast to slow kernel growth, before a self-sustainable flame propagation is established. This correlates very well with the measured engine cyclic variability and the corresponding steep change in the duration of the flame kernel formation. Ultimately, this study highlights the important role of the atomic oxygen, as active radical, in promoting and enhancing the combustion initiated by a corona discharge, in addition to the volumetric ignition effect. By contrast, the validated simulations allow to explain that the high-temperature thermal plasma generated in a traditional spark discharge is insensitive to kinetic aspects.

New Approach Methodology for Assessing Inhalation Risks of a Contact Respiratory Cytotoxicant: Computational Fluid Dynamics-Based Aerosol Dosimetry Modeling for Cross-Species and In Vitro Comparisons

Regulatory agencies are considering alternative approaches to assessing inhalation toxicity that utilizes in vitro studies with human cells and in silico modeling in lieu of additional animal studies. In support of this goal, computational fluid-particle dynamics models were developed to estimate site-specific deposition of inhaled aerosols containing the fungicide, chlorothalonil, in the rat and human for comparisons to prior rat inhalation studies and new human in vitro studies. Under bioassay conditions, the deposition was predicted to be greatest at the front of the rat nose followed by the anterior transitional epithelium and larynx corresponding to regions most sensitive to local contact irritation and cytotoxicity. For humans, simulations of aerosol deposition covering potential occupational or residential exposures (1–50 µm diameter) were conducted using nasal and oral breathing. Aerosols in the 1–5 µm range readily penetrated the deep region of the human lung following both oral and nasal breathing. Under actual use conditions (aerosol formulations >10 µm), the majority of deposited doses were in the upper conducting airways. Beyond the nose or mouth, the greatest deposition in the pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi was predicted for aerosols in the 10–20 µm size range. Only small amounts of aerosols >20 µm penetrated past the pharyngeal region. Using the ICRP clearance model, local retained tissue dose metrics including maximal concentrations and areas under the curve were calculated for each airway region following repeated occupational exposures. These results are directly comparable with benchmark doses from in vitro toxicity studies in human cells leading to estimated human equivalent concentrations that reduce the reliance on animals for risk assessments.

Initial use of Nek5000/Cardinal to improve closure models in Pronghorn

Heat transfer coefficient closure models for pebble bed reactors are built using a data-driven approach by leveraging the capabilities of an Evolutionary Algorithm entitled Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). In the present work, the Computational Fluid Dynamics code nekRS was used in order to collect the high-fidelity flow data for a core with 1,568 pebbles. To characterize the heat transfer, multiple concentric regions were considered to extract the physical quantities of interest, e.g./ the Reynolds number. The PSO algorithm is employed as part of an inverse problem targeting determine what are the coefficients for a Nusselt number correlation to match the collected data. Such correlation should follow any given format that is defined a priori. Finally, two correlations are proposed, one with an implicit dependence on the pebbles’ wall temperatures and another expressed as a fully explicit correlation depending on the flow conditions and the position within the core. Anyway, given the generic nature of the proposed approach, correlations following different formats could be tested. Preliminary results for the high-fidelity simulation of a fast MSR core are presented. The target Reynolds number is currently 20K, with the expectation that this will increase, pending the availability of further computational resources. These simulations will be used to inform lower fidelity models, including a coarse CFD turbulence model in Pronghorn. Additionally, they will serve as a reference for the RANS models in Nek5000/NekRS.

The Effect of Pressure on NO x Entitlement and Reaction Timescales in a Premixed Axial Jet-In-Crossflow

This paper investigates the pressure dependency of a lean premixed jet injected into a lean vitiated crossflow with an experimentally verified detailed chemistry computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and 53 species considered. Experimental data were taken in an axially staged combustor with an optically accessible test section, allowing the use of particle image velocimetry (PIV) and CH* chemiluminescence techniques as well as point measurement of species concentration, temperature, and pressure. The experimental data cases at one, three, and five atmospheres were selected to describe the flame stabilization dependency on pressure and gain the required knowledge for an extrapolation to engine condition. Simulated exit nitrogen oxide levels were validated with experimental emission data, and a global emission trend for the NO reduction at elevated pressure and constant turbine inlet temperature level was defined. The nitrogen oxide benefit at elevated operating pressure was justified with the significantly smaller flame surface area: the analysis of the simulated spanwise and top-view profiles showed a relatively short receded core flame with nitrogen oxide production in the center at high pressure relative to a longer and larger shear layer flame at atmospheric condition that produced NO toward the inner and outer side of the flame. Furthermore, decomposition of the Damköhler number revealed the strong influence of the reaction timescales with higher reaction rates at elevated pressure, along with a moderate influence of the turbulent timescales, showing higher turbulence intensity in the lee-side recirculation zone at lower pressure.

Nanoscale Structure and Dynamics in Geochemical Systems

Neutron scattering is a powerful tool to elucidate the structure and dynamics of systems that are important to geochemists, including ion association in complex aqueous solutions, solvent-exchange reactions at mineral–water interfaces, and reaction and transport of fluids in nanoporous materials. This article focusses on three techniques: neutron diffraction, which can reveal the atomic-level structure of aqueous solutions and solids; quasi-elastic neutron scattering, which measures the diffusional dynamics at mineral–water interfaces; and small-angle neutron scattering, which can show how properties of nanoporous systems change during gas, liquid, and solute imbibition and reaction. Furthermore, the usefulness and applicability of the experimental results are extended by rigorous comparison to computational simulations.

Coupling hydrodynamics to a rigid-body motion solver for fluid-structure interaction [Slides]

Quinoa is a massively parallel computational fluid dynamics with multi-material and programmed burn capabilities developed from Programmatic and LDRD funds. Overset is a well-established method of using an “inset” mesh that communicates with a background mesh. Solutions transfer freely from one to another and operate as boundary conditions on the opposite mesh. Either mesh can move at specified velocity! This project couples the existing Mesh-to-mesh transfer with Quinoa and demonstrates use of resulting Overset solver in computational simulation of blast effects on a re-entry body for survivability assessments.

PowderJet: Spherical metal powder production via multi-orifice droplet-on-demand metal jetting

Leading metal additive manufacturing techniques, such as laser powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition, rely on high-quality spherical metal powders. However, traditional powder production methods like gas atomization face limitations, including low in-spec yield, asphericity, and internal porosity. We introduce PowderJet, a powder production platform that uses electromagnetic pulses to eject liquid metal droplets from a multi-orifice nozzle. Unlike stochastic methods, PowderJet tightly controls powder size, distribution, and purity through a droplet-on-demand approach. We detail the system’s design, operation, and performance using a combined experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) framework. Initial results with Al4008 and Cu110 alloys demonstrate successful production, yielding unsieved aluminum powder batches with a mean diameter of 200 µm and a narrow size distribution (15 µm standard deviation). The produced powders are highly spherical, achieving a roundness > 0.95. PowderJet operates with a small melt volume (3 mL) and supports continuous refilling, enabling production rates between 30 and 140 cm³/hr depending on jetting frequency, number of orifices and particle size. CFD simulations show that future systems could achieve rates exceeding 1000 cm³/hr for particle sizes as small as 40 µm. PowderJet’s high yield of in-spec powder makes it ideal for producing precious or hazardous materials that are inefficient to manufacture using conventional methods. This platform offers a scalable, precise, and efficient solution for producing high-quality powders tailored for advanced manufacturing applications.

Development of an Improved RELAP5-3D Model for the High Temperature Test Facility

High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) are rapidly approaching deployment. Confidence in transient analysis of these systems for design, optimization, and licensing calculations requires modeling and simulation tools that have been validated against data relevant to HTGR conditions. The High Temperature Test Facility (HTTF) is an integral effects thermal hydraulics test facility for prismatic HTGRs. In spring and summer of 2019, HTTF was used for a series of experiments that now serve as the basis for the OECD/NEA Thermal Hydraulic Code Validation Benchmark for High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors using HTTF Data (HTGR T/H Benchmark). This benchmark contains problems for systems code, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and coupled systems code/CFD modeling representing lower plenum mixing and both the depressurized and pressurized conduction cooldown (DCC and PCC respectively) transients. Benchmark problems include exercises for code-to-code and code-to-data comparisons as well as an exercise for error scaling between HTTF and the Modular High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor, which serves as the basis for the HTTF design. Previous analysis as part of the HTGR T/H benchmark used a RELAP5-3D model developed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and demonstrated an ability to reproduce trends in the measured data but difficulties reproducing experimental values within their uncertainty. These difficulties were largely attributed to assumptions made during the development of the initial RELAP5-3D model, which predated the HTTF experiments. A significant cause of difficulty reproducing the measured temperatures may be the radial nodalization of the previous RELAP5-3D model. The new model provides a finer nodalization to assess the impact of radial nodalization and allows for asymmetric heating within the core, which was a feature of multiple HTTF experiments. In this paper, we present the new RELAP5-3D model of HTTF. In addition to describing the new model, this paper compares the new and old models and provides results for a full-power steady state, a DCC, and a PCC in HTTF. These analyses are based on the code-to-code comparison exercises for the DCC and PCC problems of the HTGR T/H benchmark. We present the results of these exercises from the new model and compare them to the results of the old model.

A Study of Propane Combustion in a Spark-Ignited Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) Engine

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), whose primary composition is propane, is a promising candidate for heavy-duty vehicle applications as a diesel fuel alternative due to its CO 2 reduction potential and high knock resistance. To realize diesel-like efficiencies, spark-ignited LPG engines are proposed to operate near knock-limit over a wide range of operating conditions, which necessitates an investigation of fuel-engine interactions that leads to end-gas autoignition with propane combustion. This work presents both experimental and numerical studies of stoichiometric propane combustion in a sparkignited (SI) cooperative fuel research (CFR) engine. Engine experiments are initially conducted at different compression ratio (CR) values, and the effects of CR on engine combustion are characterized. A three-pressure analysis (TPA) model based on the two-zone combustion concept is developed in GT-Power and validated using test results to estimate in-cylinder wall temperatures, residual gas fraction, etc. This model is further utilized to examine end-gas chemistry by enabling the SI turbulent flame combustion and unburned gas chemical kinetics modules. Finally, a three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model of the CFR engine is developed in CONVERGE, where the G-equation and SAGE detailed chemical kinetics models are implemented for combustion modeling. Here, a 153 species reduced chemical kinetics mechanism derived from the detailed NUIGMech1.1 mechanism based on the ignition delay and laminar flame speed (LFS) studies is used to generate an LFS lookup table and to describe end-gas autoignition chemistry. Multi-cycle Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations are then performed for the tested CRs, and the numerical model is shown to be capable of predicting the propane combustion characteristics, particularly the end-gas autoignition behavior.

Quantifying Turbine-Level Risk to Golden Eagles Using a High-Fidelity Updraft Model and a Stochastic Behavioral Model

To minimize the effects of wind farms on Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) populations while enabling sustainable development of renewable energy resources, it is important to understand how eagles interact with atmospheric flows, terrain features, and anthropogenic structures. Models that predict migratory flight paths provide one tool that helps us grasp how the location of wind farms may influence interactions and impacts on migrating Golden Eagles. The current state-of-the-art in predicting migratory flight paths uses a deterministic fluid-flow analogy to predict eagle trajectory using only an orographic updraft potential computed from topographical features. This model does not take into account variables, such as thermal updrafts and time varying atmospheric conditions that are known to influence migratory behavior. In this work, we improve on the model with the objective of developing tools that advance our understanding of how atmospheric flows and terrain features affect migratory eagle behavior and their interactions with wind farms. Specifically, we 1) incorporate both orographic and thermal updraft information in simulating eagle flight paths; 2) incorporate stochasticity into eagle travel patterns to better capture the influence of exogenous factors on, and the inherent stochasticity of eagle behavior; 3) consider spatio-temporal atmospheric data at wind-farm-scale when computing updraft potential; and 4) account for how atmospheric conditions and the direction of migration change seasonally and how these changes affect eagle migratory flight behavior. We tested the model using a 50km by 50km region with 50 m resolution in the western United States. We simulated 900 independent, probabilistic eagle tracks during southerly and northerly migration, assuming eagles solely rely on orographic updrafts. The preliminary results indicate that the inclusion of finer resolution atmospheric data allows for the inclusion of realistic conditions that an eagle experiences. The stochasticity in eagle tracks provides a platform to include uncertainty in eagle decision making and help produce robust eagle presence maps. We will deploy updraft and downdraft velocities computed using a high-fidelity, wind farm scale, computational fluid dynamics solver under development at National Renewable Energy Laboratory. This work is a first step in the development of a predictive and generalizable eagle behavior model at the wind farm scale that does not rely on empirical data collection. Although the current model is intended for migratory eagles, we will extend and refine this model to inform the development of additional behavioral modes, including resident eagle behavior. This modeling approach improves our ability to understand eagle use of the landscape at a fine scale, and it is our hope that this work will ultimately help advance strategies that minimize the impact of wind development on Golden Eagle populations.
