Abstract

In the simulation of laser-driven implosion of a fuel capsule in inertial confinement fusion experiments, a system of two-dimensional diffusion equations coupled with electron, iron and photon temperature are widely used to approximately describe the process of energy across multiple materials and the exchange of energy among electrons, irons and photons. The numerical solution of such equations is always challenging because of its strong nonlinear phenomena and strong discontinuous interfaces. In this article, we design a symmetric finite volume method, develop the corresponding preconditioning technique, and propose a mesh adaptation algorithm based on Hessian matrix and a two-grid method. Using these new methods, we demonstrate that the energy conservation error and computation efficiency of the integrated algorithm are much better than classical method.

On choosing a nonlinear initial iterate for solving the 2-D 3-T heat conduction equations

Journal Article An Hengbin ; Mo Zeyao ; Xu Xiaowen ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

The 2-D 3-T heat conduction equations can be used to approximately describe the energy broadcast in materials and the energy swapping between electron and photon or ion. To solve the equations, a fully implicit finite volume scheme is often used as the discretization method. Because the energy diffusion and swapping coefficients have a strongly nonlinear dependence on the temperature, and some physical parameters are discontinuous across the interfaces between the materials, it is a challenge to solve the discretized nonlinear algebraic equations. Particularly, as time advances, the temperature varies so greatly in the front of energy that it is difficultmore »« less
Fourier mode analysis of multigrid methods for partial differential equations with random coefficients

Journal Article Seynaeve, Bert ; Rosseel, Eveline ; Nicolai, Bart ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

Partial differential equations with random coefficients appear for example in reliability problems and uncertainty propagation models. Various approaches exist for computing the stochastic characteristics of the solution of such a differential equation. In this paper, we consider the spectral expansion approach. This method transforms the continuous model into a large discrete algebraic system. We study the convergence properties of iterative methods for solving this discretized system. We consider one-level and multi-level methods. The classical Fourier mode analysis technique is extended towards the stochastic case. This is done by taking the eigenstructure into account of a certain matrix that depends onmore »« less

Magnetism in some UCo{sub 1/3}T{sub 2/3}Al solid solutions (T=transition metal)

Journal Article Chang, S. ; Nakotte, H. ; Andreev, A. V. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We report on the magnetic properties of UCo{sub 1/3}T{sub 2/3}Al (T=Ru, Rh, Pt) solid solutions which form in the hexagonal ZrNiAl structure. We performed neutron diffraction and bulk magnetization studies. All three solid solutions exhibit long-range magnetic order at low temperatures. Bulk magnetization studies indicate a ferromagnetic ground state for UCo{sub 1/3}Ru{sub 2/3}Al, UCo{sub 1/3}Rh{sub 2/3}Al, and UCo{sub 1/3}Pt{sub 2/3}Al below 42, 41, and 27 K, respectively. At 4.2 K, the spontaneous moment ranges from {approx}0.15 {mu}{sub B}/U-atom (UCo{sub 1/3}Ru{sub 2/3}Al) to {approx}0.49{mu}{sub B}/U-atom (UCo{sub 1/3}Pt{sub 2/3}Al). Below T{sub C}, we find additional weak magnetic contributions in the neutron diffractionmore »« less

New determination of the {sup 2}H(d,p){sup 3}H and {sup 2}H(d,n){sup 3}He reaction rates at astrophysical energies

Journal Article Tumino, A. ; Spartà, R. ; Spitaleri, C. ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

The cross sections of the {sup 2}H(d,p){sup 3}H and {sup 2}H(d,n){sup 3}He reactions have been measured via the Trojan Horse method applied to the quasi-free {sup 2}H({sup 3}He,p {sup 3}H){sup 1}H and {sup 2}H({sup 3}He,n {sup 3}He){sup 1}H processes at 18 MeV off the proton in {sup 3}He. For the first time, the bare nucleus S(E) factors have been determined from 1.5 MeV, across the relevant region for standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis, down to the thermal energies of deuterium burning in the pre-main-sequence (PMS) phase of stellar evolution, as well as of future fusion reactors. Both the energy dependence andmore »« less

Non-orthogonal spin-adaptation of coupled cluster methods: A new implementation of methods including quadruple excitations

Journal Article Matthews, Devin A., E-mail: dmatthews@utexas.edu ; Stanton, John F. - Journal of Chemical Physics

The theory of non-orthogonal spin-adaptation for closed-shell molecular systems is applied to coupled cluster methods with quadruple excitations (CCSDTQ). Calculations at this level of detail are of critical importance in describing the properties of molecular systems to an accuracy which can meet or exceed modern experimental techniques. Such calculations are of significant (and growing) importance in such fields as thermodynamics, kinetics, and atomic and molecular spectroscopies. With respect to the implementation of CCSDTQ and related methods, we show that there are significant advantages to non-orthogonal spin-adaption with respect to simplification and factorization of the working equations and to creating anmore »« less
