Langmuir probe measurements in the TEXTOR tokamak during ALT-I pump limiter experiments

Description: Langmuir probes have been used to characterize the edge plasma of the TEXTOR tokamak and measure the parameters of the plasma incident on the ALT-I pump limiter during ohmic and ICRH heating. Probes mounted directly on the ALT limiter, and a scanning probe located 90/sup 0/ toroidally from the limiter, provide data for the evaluation of pump limiter performance and its effect on the edge plasma. The edge plasma is characterized by density and flux e-folding lengths of about 1.8cm when ALT is th… more

Linear induction accelerator parameter options

Description: The principal undertaking of the Beam Research Program over the past decade has been the investigation of propagating intense self-focused beams. Recently, the major activity of the program has shifted toward the investigation of converting high quality electron beams directly to laser radiation. During the early years of the program, accelerator development was directed toward the generation of very high current (>10 kA), high energy beams (>50 MeV). In its new mission, the program has shifted… more

Multifragmentation in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

Description: The GSL/LBL plastic ball/wall detector system was used to gain insight into the fragment production mechanism in Au + Au and Au + Fe reactions. Full azimuthal coverage for light particles (p,d,t,/sup 3/He,/sup 4/He) and intermediate mass fragments (z greater than 10) is achieved in the forward hemisphere in the center of mass system. The complete measurement of light particles allowed a global analysis of the events and a search for collective effects in fragment emission by comparing to flow e… more

Liquid-metal MHD flow in a duct whose cross section changes from a rectangle to a trapezoid, with applications in fusion blanket designs

Description: This paper treats the liquid-metal MHD flow in a semi-infinite rectangular duct and a semi-infinite trapezoidal duct, which are connected by a finite-length transition duct. There is a strong, transverse, uniform magnetic field. The walls parallel to the magnetic field (sides) remain parallel, while the walls intersecting the magnetic field are twisted in the transition duct to provide the change in cross sectional shape. The left side has a constant height, while the height of the right side i… more

Migrational Characteristics, Biological Observations, and Relative Survival of Juvenile Salmonids Entering the Columbia River Estuary, 1966-1983, 1985 Final Report of Research.

Description: Natural runs of salmonids in the Columbia River basin have decreased as a result of hydroelectric-dam development, poor land- and forest-management, and over-fishing. This has necessitated increased salmon culture to assure adequate numbers of returning adults. Hatchery procedures and facilities are continually being modified to improve both the efficiency of production and the quality of juveniles produced. Initial efforts to evaluate changes in hatchery procedures were dependent upon adult co… more

Liquid-metal flow through a thin-walled elbow in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field

Description: This paper presents analytical solutions for the liquid-metal flow through two straight pipes connected by a smooth elbow with the same inside radius. The pipes and the elbow lie in a plane which is perpendicular to a uniform, applied magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field is assumed to be sufficiently strong that inertial and viscous effects are negligible. This assumption is appropriate for the liquid-lithium flow in the blanket of a magnetic confinement fusion reactor, such as a … more

Instability Characteristics of Fluidelastic Instability of Tube Rows in Crossflow

Description: An experimental study is reported to investigate the jump phenomenon in critical flow velocities for tube rows with different pitch-to-diameter ratios and the excited and intrinsic instabilities for a tube row with a pitch-to-diameter ratio of 1.75. The experimental data provide additional insights into the instability phenomena of tube arrays in crossflow.

Flow Enhancement of Annulus Damping

Description: Significant increases in flow damping were observed for a tube passing through a plate when a sharp-edge raised-diameter constriction was added to the hole in a plate subject to a constant pressure drop. A correlation of the data in the form of a concentrated viscous damper (dashpot) is given which will be useful in structural dynamic analysis.

COBRA-SFS predictions of single assembly spent fuel heat transfer data

Description: The study reported here is one of several efforts to evaluate and qualify the COBRA-SFS computer code for use in spent fuel storage system thermal analysis. The ability of COBRA-SFS to predict the thermal response of two single assembly spent fuel heat transfer tests was investigated through comparisons of predictions with experimental test data. From these comparisons, conclusions regarding the computational treatment of the physical phenomena occurring within a storage system can be made. Thi… more

Liquid-metal flow in a rectangular duct with a non-uniform magnetic field

Description: This paper treats liquid-metal flow in rectangular ducts with thin conducting walls. A transverse magnetic field changes from a uniform strength upstream to a weaker uniform strength downstream. The Hartmann number and the interaction parameter are assumed to be large, while the magnetic Reynolds number is assumed to be small. If the magnetic field changes gradually over a long duct length, the velocity and pressure are nearly uniform in each cross section and the flow differs slightly from loc… more

Liquid-metal flow in a thin conducting pipe near the end of a region of uniform magnetic field

Description: This paper treats the liquid-metal flow in a straight circular pipe with a thin metal wall. A strong magnetic field is applied by a magnet with parallel poles that end abruptly. In the plane midway between the magnet poles: (1) far upstream, the flow is uniform, fully developed flow in a uniform magnetic field; (2) as the flow enters the non-uniform magnetic field near the end of the magnet, the flow moves away from the central part of the pipe and becomes concentrated as two jets near the poin… more

Magnet Current Regulation in the SSC

Description: This paper investigates the transient response, the stability and the regulation characteristics of a system designed to power the SSC magnets. Considering the magnet system as a transmission line, the performance of the regulation system was investigated under perturbations on the voltage power supply and changes in the current reference. The influence of the damping resistors on the transient reponse was included. Differential current transductors were included to minimize the tracking errors… more

Concentration and toxicity of sea-surface contaminants in Puget Sound

Description: The Marine Research Laboratory conducted studies during CY 1985 to evaluate the effects of sea-surface contamination on the reproductive success of a valued marine species. Microlayer and bulk water samples were collected from a rural bay, central Puget Sound, and three urban bays and analyzed for a number of metal and organic contaminants as well as for densities of neuston and plankton organisms. Fertilized neustonic eggs of sand sole (Psettichthys melanostictus) were exposed to the same micr… more

Parker Limit for Monopoles With Large Magnetic Charge

Description: The survival of galactic magnetic fields places a limit on the flux of magnetic monopoles, the so-called ''Parker limit.'' Previous discussions of the Parker limit have assumed that the charge of the monopole is the Dirac value, g/sub Dirac/ = 2..pi../e. However, if the grand unified group is broken by Wilson lines, as is assumed in some superstring models, the minimum value of the magnetic charge is not the Dirac quantum, but an integer multiple of it. In this brief report we investigate the d… more
