DeepLynx Ecosystem 2025

Abstract

Poor data integration and governance continue to plague complex engineering projects, resulting in missed cost, schedule, and performance targets. Departments operate in isolated systems with manual data exchange, creating fragmented information that compounds errors and leads to significant delays and cost overruns. The DeepLynx ecosystem addresses these challenges through an open-source, modular data management platform that transforms fragmented project data into an integrated digital thread. Built on a federated microservice architecture, the ecosystem comprises seven specialized tools centered around DeepLynx Nexus, a unified data catalog with hierarchical organization and graph-based navigation capabilities. The ecosystem includes: DeepLynx Stream for real-time timeseries data ingestion from industrial sources; DeepLynx Ingest for governed data uploads with formal review workflows; DeepLynx Lattice for ontology-based entity and relationship extraction; DeepLynx Run for workflow orchestration and secure AI/ML compute; DeepLynx Visualize for 3D digital twin visualization; and DeepLynx Insight for AI-assisted document analysis with traceable, grounded responses. Deployable in cloud, on-premise, or hybrid environments using containerized Docker applications and Helm charts, the DeepLynx ecosystem provides flexible infrastructure that adapts to organizational requirements. By consolidating project data into a unified data lake with role-based access controls and OAuth2 authentication, DeepLynx enables digital thread and digital twin capabilities that improve decision-making, reduce risk, and support complex engineering workflows throughout the project lifecycle.

Simulating Thermoelectric Devices Using the MOOSE Framework

Thermoelectric generators (TEG) are devices that generate energy by converting heat into electricity or provide cooling via the Peltier effect. This feature of thermoelectric devices originates from the Seebeck, Peltier, Thomson, and Joule heating effects. TEGs can be applied in energy and thermal management systems such as waste heat recovery and refrigeration, respectively. Thermoelectric device design is influenced by the material selection and the device's geometry operating conditions. Therefore, predicting, verifying, and validating thermoelectric device performance using simulations tools is essential to deploying thermoelectric devices in industry. The Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) Framework is an open-source simulation tool capable of modeling simple to complex systems. In this work, we demonstrate MOOSE's thermoelectric device modeling capabilities by simulating a unicouple, module, and exhaust gas recovery system. The Seebeck, Peltier, Thomson, and Joule heating physics are implemented into MOOSE. The MOOSE thermoelectric physics were thoroughly verified and validated using published COMSOL® results and experimental data. In addition, thermoelectric modules were integrated into an exhaust gas recovery system using the MOOSE MultiApp function as a demonstration of the model's ability. The verification and validation results and exhaust gas heat recovery system showcases MOOSE's capability to model thermoelectric devices and integrate these devices into practical energy systems.

Validation of OpenPronghorn for Periodic Hill Flow Separation

OpenPronghorn is an open-source, MOOSE-based thermal-hydraulics simulation tool used for advanced reactor analysis. As an open-source code, it offers a transparent framework for validating governing equations, assumptions, and numerical methods against established benchmarks. This study evaluates OpenPronghorn's RANS turbulence model against the ERCOFTAC Case 81 periodic hill benchmark, a standard test case for separated turbulent flow featuring curved-wall separation, recirculation, shear-layer development, and reattachment. Streamwise velocity profiles predicted by OpenPronghorn were compared to reference LES data at multiple x/h locations. Results show that OpenPronghorn captures the overall trend of the velocity profiles, but the largest discrepancies occur in the separated-flow region, where turbulence is highly anisotropic and strongly affected by adverse pressure gradients and wall curvature—conditions that are inherently difficult for standard RANS models to resolve. Future work will test alternative k-e model variants and correction terms to improve prediction accuracy in this region.
