High intensity physics with a table-top 20 TW laser system

Description: The purpose of this project was to develop a high peak power laser system (100 TW) and begin initial high intensity experiments that exploit its short pulse width (30 fs) and high repetition rate (1 - 10 Hz). Such a laser system presents unique capabilities such as permitting ultrafast time-resolved plasma physics experiments by probing the plasma with the 30 fs laser pulse. The high repetition rate also allows detailed, systematic studies of phenomena, not possible with large, single shot lase… more

Newton-Krylov-Schwarz methods for aerodynamics problems : compressible and incompressible flows on unstructured grids.

Description: We review and extend to the compressible regime an earlier parallelization of an implicit incompressible unstructured Euler code [9], and solve for flow over an M6 wing in subsonic, transonic, and supersonic regimes. While the parallelization philosophy of the compressible case is identical to the incompressible, we focus here on the nonlinear and linear convergence rates, which vary in different physical regimes, and on comparing the performance of currently important computational platforms. … more

A model for simulating airflow and pollutant dispersion around buildings

Description: A three-dimensional, numerical mode1 for simulating airflow and pollutant dispersion around buildings is described. The model is based on an innovative finite element approach and fully implicit time integration techniques. Linear and nonlinear eddy viscosity/diffusivity submodels are provided for turbulence parameterization. Mode1 predictions for the flow-field and dispersion patterns around a surface-mounted cube are compared with measured data from laboratory experiments.

An advanced ISOL facility based on ATLAS.

Description: The Argonne concept for an accelerator complex for efficiently producing high-quality radioactive beams from ion source energy up to 6-15 MeV/u is described. The Isotope-Separator-On-Line (ISOL) method is used. A high-power driver accelerator produces radionuclides in a target that is closely coupled to an ion source and mass separator. By using a driver accelerator which can deliver a variety of beams and energies the radionuclide production mechanisms can be chosen to optimize yields for the … more

Thorium in occupationally exposed men.

Description: Higher than environmental levels of {sup 232}Th have been found in autopsy samples of lungs and other organs from four former employees of a thorium refinery. Working periods of the subjects ranged from 3 to 24 years, and times from end of work to death ranged from 6 to 31 years. Examination of the distribution of thorium among the organs revealed poor agreement with the distribution calculated from the dosimetric models in Publication 30 of the International Commission on Radioprotection (ICRP… more

HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE THERMODYNAMIC MEASUREMENTS FOR COAL MODEL COMPOUNDS

Description: The enthalpy of a fluid measured with respect to some reference temperature and pressure (enthalpy increment or Cp) is required for many engineering designs. Different techniques for determining enthalpy increments include direct measurement, integration of heat capacity as a function of temperature at constant pressure, and calculation from accurate density measurements as a function of temperature and pressure with ideal-gas enthalpies. Techniques have been developed for measurement of heat c… more
