Abstract

A helium flow and heat transfer experiment has been conducted using the helium flow loop facility at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. In order to replicate the helium cooled Mo-100 plant design disks during beam heating, an array of resistive heaters were placed within the helium flow loop, and cooled via helium. The resistively heated test piece is comprised of seven ceramic electric heaters with embedded thermocouples allowing temperature measurements of each heater.Computation fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations and analysis from theory are compared to the experiment results in order to have predictable capabilities for future experiments.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
