High-resolution surface topographic change analyses to characterize a series of underground explosions

Journal Article Schultz-Fellenz, Emily S. ; Swanson, Erika M. ; Sussman, Aviva J. ; ... - Remote Sensing of Environment

The understanding of subsurface events that cannot be directly observed is dependent on the ability to relate surface-based observations to subsurface processes. This is particularly important for nuclear explosion monitoring, as any future clandestine tests will likely be underground. We collected ground-based lidar and optical imagery using remote, very-low-altitude unmanned aerial system platforms, before and after several underground high explosive experiments. For the lidar collections, we used a terrestrial lidar scanner to obtain high-resolution point clouds and create digital elevation models (DEMs). For the imagery collections, we used structure-from-motion photogrammetry techniques and a dense grid of surveyed ground control pointsmore »« less

Structured photocathodes for improved high-energy x-ray efficiency in streak cameras

Journal Article Opachich, Y. P. ; Bell, P. M. ; Bradley, D. K. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Here, we have designed and fabricated a structured streak camera photocathode to provide enhanced efficiency for high energy X-rays (1-12 keV). This gold coated photocathode was tested in a Diagnosing Energetic Radiation with streak camera and compared side by side against a conventional flat thin film photocathode. Results show that the measured electron yield enhancement at energies ranging from 1 to 10 keV scales well with predictions, and that the total enhancement can be more than 3x. The spatial resolution of the streak camera does not show degradation in the structured region. We predict that the temporal resolution of themore »« less

Discontinuities in effective permeability due to fracture percolation

Journal Article Hyman, Jeffrey De'Haven ; Karra, Satish ; Carey, James William ; ... - Mechanics of Materials

Motivated by a triaxial coreflood experiment with a sample of Utica shale where an abrupt jump in permeability was observed, possibly due to the creation of a percolating fracture network through the sample, we perform numerical simulations based on the experiment to characterize how the effective permeability of otherwise low-permeability porous media depends on fracture formation, connectivity, and the contrast between the fracture and matrix permeabilities. While a change in effective permeability due to fracture formation is expected, the dependence of its magnitude upon the contrast between the matrix permeability and fracture permeability and the fracture network structure is poorlymore »« less
