Studies of heavy element multi-nucleon transfer reactions using radioactive decay analysis of the 136Xe + 198Pt reaction at a center of target lab energy of 777 MeV (5.7MeV/A)

Creator:: McCaleb, Kyle M.
Abstract:: Recent experiments have advanced the current understanding of multi-nucleon transfer(MNT) reactions. Within nuclear science, most nuclear reaction experiments consist of a stationary target material, that is then bombarded by a moving projectile. Overall nuclear reactions can be used to produce a desired isotope. In the case of this particular study...

Reducing Biogeochemical Models with an Automated Reduction Method

Creator:: Klee, Emily
Abstract:: Modeling elementary chemical reactions in ocean ﬂuid dynamics simulations requires signiﬁcant computing resources, which can be diminished with model reduction techniques. Submesoscale ocean turbulence and biogeochemical reactions in the ocean occur on approximately the same time scale, 105 seconds. This similarity in time scales indicates a strong coupling between these...

Computational Investigation on the Effects of Arc Location in Vacuum Arc Remelting

Creator:: Soler, Miguel
Abstract:: Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is a secondary melting process for exotic alloys. The main purpose of this process is to increase the input ingot’s physical and chemical homogeneity. This is accomplished through the application of a high current that melts the material through the emergence of electrical arcs that induce...

Evaluating Stiffness Metrics for Predicting the Cost of Chemical Kinetics Integration

Creator:: Alferman, Andrew Thomas
Abstract:: Simulations of combustion and reacting flows often encounter stiffness in the equations governing chemical kinetics. Explicit solvers for these ordinary differential equations offer low computational expense, but typically cannot efficiently handle stiff systems. In contrast, implicit methods demand greater expense but offer unconditional stability—as a result, most reactive-flow solvers rely...

Testing and design procedures for electric propellant pumps for suborbital bi-propellant rockets

Creator:: Verna-Ketel, Dominic
Abstract:: An electrically driven propellant pump (HALE E-Pump) was analysed and tested to determine its viability for use in a bi-propellant launch vehicle for the High-Altitude Liquid Engine (HALE) student rocket team at Oregon State University (OSU). The pump, manufactured in 2022 by students in OSU machine shops, was hydrostatically tested...

Comparing the autoignition performance of chemical kinetic models for toluene using data extracted from the literature

Creator:: Mayer, Morgan
Abstract:: Real transportation fuels contain a wide range of hydrocarbon species, and this complexity poses challenges for modeling. Surrogates with a simpler blend of hydrocarbon reference fuels can approximate the physical and chemical characteristics of real fuels and enable practical simulation of the reacting flows that occur in engines and combustors....

GPU-Based Fluid-Structure Interaction using Immersed Boundary Methods

Creator:: Minar, Christopher
Abstract:: Engineering applications often require fast, accurate solutions of fluid flow around freely moving bodies. The massive parallelism enabled by graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture enables high performance, offering a promising alternative to traditional solver acceleration via multicore central processing units (CPU). However, fully harnessing GPU parallelism requires specialized algorithms and...

Swept time-space domain decomposition on GPUs and heterogeneous computing systems

Creator:: Magee, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Modern scientific and engineering problems often require simulations with a level of resolution difficult to achieve in reasonable amounts of time—even in effectively parallelized programs. Therefore, applications that exploit high performance computing (HPC) systems have become invaluable in academia and industry over the past two decades. Addressing the questions that...

Predicting Properties of Bio-jet Fuels using Machine Learning and ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy

Creator:: Mayer, Morgan A.
Abstract:: High-potential molecules derived from biomass sources may suitably replace or supplement traditional nonrenewable hydrocarbon fuels to reduce pollution and fuel processing costs. Due to expensive and time-consuming property testing, models that predict key properties from optical data would initially vet potential additives before investment and bench-scale testing. Attenuated Total Reflection...
