Next Generation Electromagnetic Pump Analysis Tools (PLM DOC-0005-2188). Final Report

This report provides the broad historical review of EM Pump development and details of MATRIX development under this project. This report summarizes the efforts made to modernize the legacy performance models used in previous EM Pump designs and the improvements made to the analysis tools. This report provides information on Tasks 1, 3, and 4 of the entire project. The research for Task 4 builds upon Task 1: Update EM Pump Databank and Task 3: Modernize the Existing EM Pump Analysis Model, which are summarized within this report. Where research for Task 2: Insulation Materials Development and Evaluation identified parameters applicable to the analysis model with Task 4, the analysis code was updated, and analyses were made for additional materials. The important design variables for the manufacture and operation of an EM Pump that the model improvement can evaluate are: space constraints; voltage capability of insulation system; maximum flux density through iron; flow rate and outlet pressure; efficiency and manufacturability. The development of the next-generation EM Pump analysis tools during this two-year program provides information in three broad areas: Status of analysis model development; Improvements made to older simulations; and Comparison to experimental data.

Strategies, Protections and Mitigations for Electric Grid from Electromagnetic Pulse Effects

The mission of DOE’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) is to lead national efforts to modernize the electricity delivery system, enhance the security and reliability of America’s energy infrastructure and facilitate recovery from disruptions to the energy supply. One of the threats OE is concerned about is a high-altitude electro-magnetic pulse (HEMP) from a nuclear explosion and eletro-magnetic pulse (EMP) or E1 pulse can be generated by EMP weapons. DOE-OE provides federal leadership and technical guidance in addressing electric grid issues. The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) was chosen to conduct the EMP study for DOE-OE due to its capabilities and experience in setting up EMP experiments on the electric grid and conducting vulnerability assessments and developing innovative technology to increase infrastructure resiliency. This report identifies known impacts to EMP threats, known mitigations and effectiveness of mitigations, potential cost of mitigation, areas for government and private partnerships in protecting the electric grid to EMP, and identifying gaps in our knowledge and protection strategies.

Modelling Proton Interactions with Magnetodynamic Targets for Electromagnetic Field Mapping

This paper does not describe NNSS work on this project. I am a co-author due to our experimental support which will be described in future papers. The principal authors want to include all authors on all papers as a team, so I am included. The primary authors want to ensure NNSS is recognized as part of that team. My work related to this specific paper was limited to intellectual conversations and experimental planning.

Electromagnetic Simulations of Newly Designed Semiconductor Bolometers for Submillimeter Observations

In the frame of the SPICA mission, new semiconductor bolometers have been designed for the POL instrument which is directly part of the HERSCHEL/PACS legacy. These detectors are cooled down to 50 mK and are sensitive to polarization for the 100, 200 and 350 μm wavelength bands. In this paper, 3D simulations have been carried out with the COMSOL Multiphysics software to design the two suspended interlaced silicon spirals which support the orthogonal absorbers (sensitive to the two polarizations) of the POL detectors. These simulations allow to optimize the design of the absorbers and to quantify the cross-polarization. In the last part of this paper, we explain how it is possible to reach the 200 and 350 μm bands from the layout of the 100-μm detector.

Design of Circular, Square, Single, and Multi-layer Induction Coils for Electromagnetic Priming Using Inductance Estimates

Special induction coils used for electro magnetic priming of ceramic foam filters in liquid metal filtration have been designed using a combination of analytical and finite element modeling. Relatively simple empirical equations published by Wheeler in 1928 and 1982 have been used during the design process. The equations were found to accurately predict the z-component of the magnetic flux densities of both single- and multi-layer coils as verified both experimentally and by using COMSOL{sup ®} 5.1 multiphysics simulations.

SL(2,R) duality-symmetric action for electromagnetic theory with electric and magnetic sources

For the SL(2,R) duality-invariant generalization of Maxwell electrodynamics in the presence of both electric and magnetic sources, we formulate a local, manifestly duality-symmetric, Zwanziger-type action by introducing a pair of four-potentials A{sup μ} and B{sup μ} in a judicious way. On the two potentials A{sup μ} and B{sup μ} the SL(2,R) duality transformation acts in a simple linear manner. In quantum theory including charged source fields, this action can be recast as a SL(2,Z)-invariant action. Also given is a Zwanziger-type action for SL(2,R) duality-invariant Born–Infeld electrodynamics which can be important for D-brane dynamics in string theory. -- Highlights: •We formulate a local, manifestly duality-symmetric, Zwanziger-type action. •Maxwell electrodynamics is generalized to include dilaton and axion fields. •SL(2,R) symmetry is manifest. •We formulate a local, manifestly duality-symmetric, nonlinear Born–Infeld action with SL(2,R) symmetry.
