Long-term sealing analyses for US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) caverns

Description: It is inevitable that sealing and abandonment will someday occur in a SPR cavern or caverns. To gain insight into the long-term behavior of a typical SPR cavern following sealing and abandonment, a suite of mechanical finite-element calculations was performed. The initial analyses predict how quickly and to what extent a cavern pressurizes after it is plugged. The analyses also examine the stability of the cavern as it changes shape due to the excessive pressures generated as the salt creeps an… more

Three Dimensional Laser Cooling of Stored and Circulating Ion Beams by Means of a Coupling Cavity

Description: It is shown, theoretically, that a coupling cavity; namely an rf cavity operating in the TM{sup 210} mode, when inserted in a storage ring will enhance the coupling between longitudinal and transverse degrees of freedom. As a result, it is shown that the demonstrated very effective laser cooling of the longitudinal motion, can now be extended to transverse motion; i.e., employed to cool a beam in all three directions.

Near-extinction and final burnout in coal combustion

Description: The late stages of char combustion have a special technological significance, as carbon conversions of 99% or greater are typically required for the economic operation of pulverized coal fired boilers. In the present article, two independent optical techniques are used to investigate near-extinction and final burnout phenomenas. Captive particle image sequences, combined with in situ optical measurements on entrained particles, provide dramatic illustration of the asymptotic nature of the char … more

Automated fiber pigtailing technology

Description: The high cost of optoelectronic (OE) devices is due mainly to the labor-intensive packaging process. Manually pigtailing such devices as single-mode laser diodes and modulators is very time consuming with poor quality control. The Photonics Program and the Engineering Research Division at LLNL are addressing several issues associated with automatically packaging OE devices. A furry automated system must include high-precision fiber alignment, fiber attachment techniques, in-situ quality control… more

Ten new checks to assess the statistical quality of Monte Carlo solutions in MCNP

Description: The central limit theorem can be applied to a Monte Carlo solution if: The random variable x has a finite mean and a finite variance; and the number N of independent observations grows large. When these two conditions are satisfied, a confidence interval based on the normal distribution with a specified coverage probability can be formed. The first requirement is generally satisfied by the knowledge of the type of Monte Carlo tally being used. The Monte Carlo practitioner has only a limited num… more

Changes in Organic Sulfur Compounds in Coal Macerals During Liquefaction

Description: Several general trends were observed in reactivity patterns of sulfur compounds in macerals. Sulfur is reduced in the asphaltene fraction compared to initial maceral. Aliphatics are removed and polycyclic aromatic compounds are both stable and probably formed under these conditions. Molecules containing two sulfur atoms are formed. The preasphaltenes are now being analyzed by DEIHRMS.

Magnetless magnetic fusion

Description: The authors propose a concept of thermonuclear fusion reactor in which the plasma pressure is balanced by direct gas-wall interaction in a high-pressure vessel. The energy confinement is achieved by means of the self-contained toroidal magnetic configuration sustained by an external current drive or charged fusion products. This field structure causes the plasma pressure to decrease toward the inside of the discharge and thus it should be magnetohydrodynamically stable. The maximum size, temper… more

Unique passive diagnostic for slapper detonators

Description: The objective of this study was to find a material and configuration that could reliably detect the proper functioning of a current slapper detonator. Because of the small size of the slapper geometry (on the order of a 15 mils), most diagnostic techniques are not suitable. This program has the additional requirement that the device could not use any electrical power or output signals. This required that the diagnostic be completely passive. The paper describes the three facets of the developme… more

The TORSED and TORSET codes for coupling three-dimensional TORT calculations

Description: Two new codes perform ``bootstrapping`` of either two- or three-dimensional boundary fluxes to a TORT three-dimensional calculation. TORSED couples a DORT RZ calculation to an XYZ TORT. Two methods of directional remapping are available, each less expensive than methods previously available for this work. TORSED is compatible with the discontinuous mesh features of TORT. The second code, TORSET, couples two XYZ TORT problems. The second problem may lie entirely inside the first, or it may touch… more

A brief introduction to symplectic integrators and recent results

Description: The author begins with a brief synopsis about Hamiltonian systems and symplectic maps. A symplectic integrator is a symplectic map {phi}(q,p;t) that systematically approximates the time t flow of a Hamiltonian system. Systematic means: (1) in time step, t, i.e. the error should vanish as some power of the time step, and (2) in order of approximation, i.e. one would like a hierarchy of such {phi} that have errors that vanish as successively higher powers of the time step. At present the authors … more
