FESTR: Finite-Element Spectral Transfer of Radiation spectroscopic modeling and analysis code (New Version Announcement)

Journal Article Hakel, Peter - Computer Physics Communications

We report on the release of a new version of the FESTR (P. Hakel, Comput. Phys. Commun. 207 (2016) 415–425., https://github.com/LANLhakel/FESTR) spectral postprocessor of hydrodynamic simulations of hot, dense plasmas. Based on given time histories of one-, two-, and three-dimensional spatial distributions of materials, and their local temperature and density conditions, spectroscopically-resolved signals are computed. The effects of radiation emission and absorption by the plasma on the emergent spectra are simultaneously taken into account. Furthermore this program can also be used independently of hydrodynamic calculations to analyze available experimental data with the goal of inferring plasma conditions.

FESTR, Version 0.x

Software Hakel, Peter

FESTR is a modeling tool for calculating spectroscopic-quality synthetic outputs (e.g., spectra and images) based on (in general) the time evolutions of 3-D spatial distributions of materials characterized by their chemical composition, temperature, and density conditions. FESTR performs raytracing across unstructured meshes, builds intrinsic optical properties of mixed materials by performing equation-of-state lookups in external data, and then solves the radiation-transport equation along rays to obtain emergent time and space resolved synthetic spectra. These results can be further processed into time and/or space integrated spectra, as well as into spectral-band-integrated synthetic images, radiated power histories, and total radiated energy values.more »« less

Development of a Prototype Lattice Boltzmann Code for CFD of Fusion Systems.

Technical Report Pattison, Martin J ; Premnath, Kannan N ; Banerjee, Sanjoy ; ...

Designs of proposed fusion reactors, such as the ITER project, typically involve the use of liquid metals as coolants in components such as heat exchangers, which are generally subjected to strong magnetic fields. These fields induce electric currents in the fluids, resulting in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) forces which have important effects on the flow. The objective of this SBIR project was to develop computational techniques based on recently developed lattice Boltzmann techniques for the simulation of these MHD flows and implement them in a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code for the study of fluid flow systems encountered in fusion engineering.
