H2OI95: A Stand-Alone Fortran Code for Evaluating the IAPWS-95 Equation-of-State Model for Water

H2OI95 is a stand-alone Fortran code for evaluating the IAPWS-95 equation-of-state model (Wagner and Pruss, 2002) for the thermodynamic properties of water. It further evaluates the corresponding thermochemical properties of water consistent with the CODATA recommendations (Cox et al., 1989). The IAPWS-95 model is based on a model equation for the dimensionless Helmholtz energy for which the primary variables are the inverse reduced temperature and reduced density. Here is the absolute temperature (K), is density (kg/m3), and the subscript refers to the critical point of water (647.096 K and 22.064 MPa pressure in this model, for which is 322 kg/m3). The code solves four basic types of problems, distinguished by the specified inputs: 1, Temperature (K) and density (kg/m3) or reduced density 2. Temperature (K) and pressure (MPa). 3. Temperature (K) on the saturation (liquid-vapor equilibrium) curve 4. Pressure (MPa) on the saturation curve Each type of problem is run using a corresponding input (text) file. All but the first type of problem require iteration. For example, to solve for desired temperature and pressure, the reduced density must be adjusted to give the desired pressure. Iteration is accomplished using the Newton-Raphson method, though the secant method is also used in solving the fourth type of problem. H2OI95 has been used to conduct numerical studies of convergence and the problem of multiple numerical solutions, only some of which correspond to valid results. Obtaining valid results depends mainly on appropriate choice of starting values. The default values in H2OI95 appear to consistently lead to generally desired results. With modification (not addressed here), H2OI95 can be used to support SUPCRT92 (Johnson et al., 1992) and similar codes that compute chemical thermodynamic properties of species and reactions over a wide range of temperature and pressure (273.16-1273K and 0-1000 MPa).

CSlib, a library to couple codes via Client/Server messaging

The CSlib is a small, portable library which enables two (or more) independent simulation codes to be coupled, by exchanging messages with each other. Both codes link to the library when they are built, and can them communicate with each other as they run. The messages contain data or instructions that the two codes send back-and-forth to each other. The messaging can take place via files, sockets, or MPI. The latter is a standard distributed-memory message-passing library.

Computation of graph hitting time moments; Chapel code implementation.

The project that developed this is unclassified, with the mandate to produce open source code. This code computes the hitting time moments of a graph using a linear algebra configuration. The goal of this work is to explore the performance capabilities of the Chapel programming language. Toward that end, we generate random adjacency matrices which represent a random graph. The code can also read in an adjacency matrix from a file. The main computation is the Conjugate Gradient method.SAND2020-12651 M.

Yet Another Hauser-Feshbach Code

Code framework to perform simulations of nuclear reactions with incident particles including gammas, protons, neutrons, deuterons, tritons, helium-3, and alphas to develop nuclear data libraries and study nuclear reaction phenomona. The code can model nuclear reactions or initial populations specified by the user. The decays principally follow the compound-nucleus hypothesis and the statistical decay of Hauser and Feshbach. The code models nuclear decays with a Monte Carlo process that tracks the decay of each state. Data libraries are produced that can be translated into GNDS (generalized Nuclear Data Structure). YAHFC can also be used as an event generator, with individual decays written to disk for offline analysis. Both serial and MPI versions are provided. YAHFC does NOT perform transport of nuclear reactions through materials, only the primary reaction with a target material.

Code for paper "Reconstructing an Implosion with Space-Time Smoothing of Velocimetry Traces"

New diagnostics to obtain high-temporal resolution observation of surface velocity provide a rich collection of data from high-explosive (HE) experiments. Using this data to estimate the temporal evolution of an imploding, HE-driven surface is of great interest for validating simulation of the physical system and for design of future experiments. This is the code for a paper in which we propose a method for using a Gaussian process to estimate the surface position over time and provide uncertainty estimates on that reconstruction accounting for measurement error, uncertainty to sparse spatial sampling velocity data, and robustness to outlying observations. In the paper, the code is applied on data from a hemispherical HE implosion experiment. This code is for release with the paper for peer-review, replicating the results and making the figures from the paper.

ILI Code

This R code consists of three scripts, described below. 1. ILI_LHC_sample.R The first script generate 10,000 samples from the total parameter space formed by the ranges of the following five parameters inputted into the ILI model: transmission rate (beta), per capita rate of progress from exposed to infectious state (gamma_1), per capita rate of progress through initial infectious state (gamma_2), per capita rate of progress through hospitalized state (gamma_3), and per capita rate of progress through non-hospitalized infectious state (gamma_4). The output is LHS_samples.csv, for input into the global sensitivity script, ILI_SEIR. 2. ILI_SEIR.R The second script solves a standard Susceptible-Exposed-Infected- Recovered (SEIR) model (a system of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs)), runs global sensitivity analyses, and generates plots showing the impact of the input variables on the response variables for each virus. 3. virus_sims.R The third script solves a standard Susceptible-Exposed-Infected- Recovered (SEIR) model (a system of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs)), aimed at modeling outbreaks for five common upper respiratory viruses within a contained population. The output of this code is an epidemic curve to show timing and magnitude of the epidemic peak for each virus. Note: for all three scripts, the parameter values must be hard-coded by the user or the output will not be accurate.

Viscoplastic selfconsistent (VPSC) code (version 8, open source)

VPSC is a mean-field polycrystal plasticity code for the prediction of the mechanical response and microstructure evolution of polycrystalline aggregates. The VPSC code is the computational realization of the visco-plastic self-consistent theory of polycrystal deformation. Both the theory and details of its numerical implementation were originally reported by R.A. Lebensohn and C.N. Tomé: "A self-consistent approach for the simulation of plastic deformation and texture development of polycrystals: application to Zirconium alloys", Acta Metallurgica et Materialia 41, 2611 (1993). Since then, the VPSC code has experienced several improvements and extensions and it is nowadays extensively used to simulate plastic deformation of polycrystalline aggregates and to interpret experimental evidence on metals, minerals and polymers.

An iron evaluation story: from TALYS model parameters to validation on the ASPIS benchmark with the Monte-Carlo code TRIPOLI-4

Iron is a widespread structural material in nuclear applications. However some benchmark studies show that for many libraries, including TENDL-2019, producing good iron evaluations is still an open challenge. This work aims at improving TENDL-2019 {sup 56}Fe and {sup 54}Fe evaluations through feedbacks from experimental data and Monte Carlo results of the iron benchmark ASPIS. Part of the T6 code infrastructure was used to produce the evaluations. In the new evaluations, particular attention to resonance parameters and formalism was paid to address the importance of elastic scattering. The total inelastic scattering and inelastic continuum cross sections were shaped by modifying the input parameters of TALYS, one of the T6 codes. Additionally, it was necessary to normalise some reaction channels to those of JENDL-4.0. With the new files ASPIS results, obtained with the Monte Carlo code TRIPOLI-4, improved noticeably compared to TENDL 2019. The evaluations and parameter setting modifications are to be included into TENDL-2021. (authors)

Chasing ghosts: characterization of artifact generation in coded aperture decoding due to experimental implementation

Coded aperture imaging is a form of lensless aperture imaging that projects multiple overlapping images of the source onto the detector, enhancing signal strength, which is advantageous for low-flux sources or high-resolution imaging. This technique requires decoding of the detector signal to reconstruct the original source, which involves convolving the detector data with the aperture pattern. When the signal is from a centered point source, the reconstructed source image is known as the point spread function (PSF). A clean PSF without artifacts is a Dirac delta function [Appl. Opt. 20, 1858 (1981)]. This paper examines the robustness of the decoding process against variations in experimental tolerances by analyzing artifact growth in the reconstructed PSF. We illustrate the effects of incorrect magnification, rotation, and detector size and find that aperture–detector rotational misalignment about the imaging axis is the most sensitive parameter, with significant artifact generation occurring with angular offsets of less than one degree. We discuss compensation methods for imperfect aperture placement, finding that small detector sizes produce uncompensatable artifact generation, and compare theoretical predictions with experimental PSF measurements of a rank , 6.8 mm thick (less than one mean free path) coded aperture with a 3.5 mm cell size, conducted at the MegaJOuLe Neutron Imaging Radiography dense plasma focus [IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. 49, 3299 (2021)] using a 2.45 MeV neutron source. Based on our findings, we recommend using magnified coded apertures in the under-sampled regime, which allows for the inclusion of fiducial markers to characterize aperture–detector rotational offsets and the addition of mechanical coupling, where possible, to constrain rotational and magnification offsets.

Orthogonal spatial coding with stimulated parametric down-conversion

Orthogonal optical coding is widely used in classical multi-user communication networks. Using the phase conjugation property of stimulated parametric down-conversion, we extend the current time-domain orthogonal optical coding scheme to the spatial domain to encode and decode image information. In this process, the idler beam inherits the complex conjugate of the field information encoded in the seed beam. An encoding phase mask introduced onto the input seed beam blurs the image transferred to the idler. The original image is restored by passing the coded transferred image through a corrective phase mask placed in the momentum space of the idler beam. We expect that this scheme can also inspire new techniques in secure image transmission, aberration cancellation, and frequency conversion imaging.
