Aerodynamic Design of Heavy Vehicles Reporting Period April 15, 2002 Through July 15, 2002

Description: Activities for this quarter include an effort to simulate the flow structure in the wake region of the trailer and in the gap region between the tractor and the trailer for the GTS geometry. Two-dimensional simulations have been conducted on both flow structures using LLNL's ALE3D code. With the information obtained from these calculations, three-dimensional (3D) grids are constructed for the wake and the gap regions. Due to complexity of the required grid generation, two different grid generat… more

Aggregation kinetics in a model colloidal suspension

Description: The authors present molecular dynamics simulations of aggregation kinetics in a colloidal suspension modeled as a highly asymmetric binary mixture. Starting from a configuration with largely uncorrelated colloidal particles the system relaxes by coagulation-fragmentation dynamics to a structured state of low-dimensionality clusters with an exponential size distribution. The results show that short range repulsive interactions alone can give rise to so-called cluster phases. For the present mode… more

Almost Optimal Interior Penalty Discontinuous Approximations of Symmetric Elliptic Problems on Non-Matching Grids

Description: We consider an interior penalty discontinuous approximation for symmetric elliptic problems of second order on non-matching grids in this paper. The main result is an almost optimal error estimate for the interior penalty approximation of the original problem based on the partition of the domain into a finite number of subdomains. Further, an error analysis for the finite element approximation of the penalty formulation is given. Finally, numerical experiments on a series of model second order … more

Analysis of losses in ITER joints in varying parallel field

Description: One of the options for a design of a Central Solenoid in ITER and other tokamak machines is pancake would modules. In this configuration joints have to be placed in maximum magnetic field with high changing rate. In this condition joints should be designed to have at least the same or larger temperature margin as that for the conductor in the same field. It is argued that joints in parallel field can be designed to meet this requirement along with reasonably low DC resistance. Losses in paralle… more

Analysis of Rayleigh-Taylor Instability Part I: Bubble and Spike Count

Description: The use of high-performance computers to simulate hydrodynamic instabilities has resulted in the generation of massive amounts of data. One aspect of the analysis of this data involves the identification and characterization of coherent structures known as ''bubbles'' and ''spikes''. This can be a challenge as there is no precise definition of these structures, and the large size of the data, as well as its distributed nature, precludes any extensive experimentation with different definitions a… more

Angularly Adaptive P1 - Double P0 Flux-Limited Diffusion Solutions of Non-Equilibrium Grey Radiative Transfer Problems

Description: The double spherical harmonics angular approximation in the lowest order, i.e. double P{sub 0} (DP{sub 0}), is developed for the solution of time-dependent non-equilibrium grey radiative transfer problems in planar geometry. Although the DP{sub 0} diffusion approximation is expected to be less accurate than the P{sub 1} diffusion approximation at and near thermodynamic equilibrium, the DP{sub 0} angular approximation can more accurately capture the complicated angular dependence near a non-equi… more
