Massively parallel modeling and inversion of electrical resistivity tomography data using PFLOTRAN

Abstract. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a broadly accepted geophysical method for subsurface investigations. Interpretation of field ERT data usually requires the application of computationally intensive forward modeling and inversion algorithms. For large-scale ERT data, the efficiency of these algorithms depends on the robustness, accuracy, and scalability on high-performance computing resources. In this regard, we present a robust and highly scalable implementation of forward modeling and inversion algorithms for ERT data. The implementation is publicly available and developed within the framework of PFLOTRAN, an open-source, state-of-the-art massively parallel subsurface flow and transport simulation code. The forward modeling is based on a finite-volume discretization of the governing differential equations, and the inversion uses a Gauss–Newton optimization scheme. To evaluate the accuracy of the forward modeling, two examples are first presented by considering layered (1D) and 3D earth conductivity models. The computed numerical results show good agreement with the analytical solutions for the layered earth model and results from a well-established code for the 3D model. Inversion of ERT data, simulated for a 3D model, is then performed to demonstrate the inversion capability by recovering the conductivity of the model. To demonstrate the parallel performance of PFLOTRAN's ERT process model and inversion capabilities, large-scale scalability tests are performed by using up to 131 072 processes on a leadership class supercomputer. These tests are performed for the two most computationally intensive steps of the ERT inversion: forward modeling and Jacobian computation. For the forward modeling, we consider models with up to 122 ×106 degrees of freedom (DOFs) in the resulting system of linear equations and demonstrate that the code exhibits almost linear scalability on up to 10 000 DOFs per process. On the other hand, the code shows superlinear scalability for the Jacobian computation, mainly because all computations are fairly evenly distributed over each process with no parallel communication.

HEPfit: a code for the combination of indirect and direct constraints on high energy physics models

HEPfit is a flexible open-source tool which, given the Standard Model or any of its extensions, allows to (i) fit the model parameters to a given set of experimental observables; (ii) obtain predictions for observables. HEPfit can be used either in Monte Carlo mode, to perform a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis of a given model, or as a library, to obtain predictions of observables for a given point in the parameter space of the model, allowing HEPfit to be used in any statistical framework. In the present version, around a thousand observables have been implemented in the Standard Model and in several new physics scenarios. In this paper, we describe the general structure of the code as well as models and observables implemented in the current release.

Closed Loop Geothermal Working Group: GeoCLUSTER App, Subsurface Simulation Results, and Publications

To better understand the heat production, electricity generation performance, and economic viability of closed-loop geothermal systems in hot-dry rock, the Closed-Loop Geothermal Working Group -- a consortium of several national labs and academic institutions has tabulated time-dependent numerical solutions and levelized cost results of two popular closed-loop heat exchanger designs (u-tube and co-axial). The heat exchanger designs were evaluated for two working fluids (water and supercritical CO2) while varying seven continuous independent parameters of interest (mass flow rate, vertical depth, horizontal extent, borehole diameter, formation gradient, formation conductivity, and injection temperature). The corresponding numerical solutions (approximately 1.2 million per heat exchanger design) are stored as multi-dimensional HDF5 datasets and can be queried at off-grid points using multi-dimensional linear interpolation. A Python script was developed to query this database and estimate time-dependent electricity generation using an organic Rankine cycle (for water) or direct turbine expansion cycle (for CO2) and perform a cost assessment. This document aims to give an overview of the HDF5 database file and highlights how to read, visualize, and query quantities of interest (e.g., levelized cost of electricity, levelized cost of heat) using the accompanying Python scripts. Details regarding the capital, operation, and maintenance and levelized cost calculation using the techno-economic analysis script are provided. This data submission will contain results from the Closed Loop Geothermal Working Group study that are within the public domain, including publications, simulation results, databases, and computer codes. GeoCLUSTER is a Python-based web application created using Dash, an open-source framework built on top of Flask that streamlines the building of data dashboards. GeoCLUSTER provides users with a collection of interactive methods for streamlining the exploration and visualization of an HDF5 dataset. The GeoCluster app and database are contained in the compressed file geocluster_vx.zip, where the "x" refers to the version number. For example, geocluster_v1.zip is Version 1 of the app. This zip file also contains installation instructions. **To use the GeoCLUSTER app in the cloud, click the link to "GeoCLUSTER on AWS" in the Resources section below. To use the GeoCLUSTER app locally, download the geocluster_vx.zip to your computer and uncompress this file. When uncompressed this file comprises two directories and the geocluster_installation.pdf file. The geo-data app contains the HDF5 database in condensed format, and the GeoCLUSTER directory contains the GeoCLUSTER app in the subdirectory dash_app, as app.py. The geocluster_installation.pdf file provides instructions on installing Python, the needed Python modules, and then executing the app.

Soil Incubation, Methane Pool Dilution, Edgewater, MD, USA, July 2022 v1.0.1

Isotopic pool dilution is a powerful approach to quantify gross biogeochemical transformation rates, but remains seldom used despite its potential. To facilitate broader implementation of pool dilution methods, we developed a user-friendly R package that optimizes gross production and consumption rates (and optionally fractionation constants as well) based on standard pool dilution time series data. This data package is the soil methane pool dilution data and code for building and using this software, including source code (R) and raw data (.csv). This package features extensive documentation and example analyses, and is easily integrated into analytical pipelines as R software is free and open source. Operation of this package requires R version 2.10 or newer, and we recommend its use in conjunction with packages testthat (3.0.0), knitr, rmarkdown, ggploto2, tibble, and tidyr.

Omics-to-Reactive-Transport (ORT): A workflow linking genome-scale metabolic models with reactive transport codes

Motivation: Nutrient and contaminant behavior in the subsurface are governed by multiple coupled hydrobiogeochemical processes which occur across different temporal and spatial scales. Accurate description of macroscopic system behavior requires accounting for the effects of microscopic and especially microbial processes. Microbial processes mediate precipitation and dissolution and change aqueous geochemistry, all of which impacts macroscopic system behavior. As `omics data describing microbial processes is increasingly affordable and available, novel methods for using this data quickly and effectively for improved ecosystem models are needed. Results: We propose a workflow (`Omics to Reactive Transport – ORT) for utilizing metagenomic and environmental data to describe the effect of microbiological processes in macroscopic reactive transport models. This workflow utilizes and couples two open-source software packages: KBase (a software platform for systems biology) and PFLOTRAN (a reactive transport modeling code). We describe the architecture of ORT and demonstrate an implementation using metagenomic and geochemical data from a river system. Our demonstration uses microbiological drivers of nitrification and denitrification to predict nitrogen cycling patterns which agree with those provided with generalized stoichiometries. While our example uses data from a single measurement, our workflow can be applied to spatiotemporal metagenomic datasets to allow for iterative coupling between KBASE and PFLOTRAN. Live, interactive models, which incorporate the results from this narrative into a PFLOTRAN simulation, are available (without login) at https://pflotranmodeling.paf.subsurfaceinsights.com/pflotran-simple-model/.

Managing Solar Photovoltaic Integration in the Western United States: Power System Flexibility Requirements and Supply

As penetrations of variable renewable energy generation technologies such as wind and solar photovoltaics (PV) continue to increase across the United States, greater uncertainty and variability in the net load often lead to a concern about how power systems may adapt. Managing the system net load (i.e., load minus contribution from variable generation technologies) may become more challenging with increasing variable generation, as the magnitude and frequency of net ramps increase. However, there is inherent flexibility in power systems through the conventional generator fleet (under least-cost unit commitment and economic dispatch), less-conventional generation sources (e.g., storage, demand response, concentrating solar power with thermal energy storage), and imports and exports with neighbors. In this analysis, we create an open-source tool to analyze the flexibility of the results of a specific commercial unit commitment and economic dispatch tool (PLEXOS), but the code can be applied generically as well. The tool assesses the flexibility requirements (or demand) of a system through a net load analysis. The constraints and limitations of each generator are then considered to determine the availability (or supply) of flexibility. Then, the supply and demand of flexibility are compared to gain a more complete picture of potential flexibility concerns. We apply this open-source tool to high-penetration PV scenarios constructed for three focus regions in the western United States defined using the Resource Planning Model (RPM) capacity expansion modeling tool: RPM-OR, RPM-CO, and RPM-AZ. Generally, we find few flexibility concerns, as the western United States represents a large and interconnected power system with significant inherent flexibility. In addition, the PV scenarios we analyzed are overbuilt on capacity, leaving plenty of ramping ability on the system. We do find that for each focus region, the impact of imports on meeting ramping needs is essential. This means the PV integration in each focus region impacts the entire rest of the system. Each system has different dominant sources of flexibility. The conventional generator fleet (especially coal and gas combined-cycle technologies) as well as less-conventional sources such as storage are all shown to be important sources of flexibility. The scenarios evaluated here were designed to study the planning and operations impact of high solar penetration in each of three focus regions. However, none of the three focus regions likely will deploy PV in isolation, meaning the ability of imports and exports to provide flexibility may be considerably different in scenarios with strong PV deployment in every region. Overall, we intend that the framework we present here will be useful in future analysis of other system evolutions to identify whether and how flexibility may constrain the successful deployment of variable generation technologies.

STEPS: A Portable Numerical Simulation Toolkit for Electrical Power System Dynamic Studies

Numerical simulation is the key technique for large scale power system analysis. Redistribution of global renewable power via international interconnections requires new simulation tools to study the interconnected systems with different nominal frequencies as a whole. In this paper we introduce an open source simulation toolkit for electrical power systems (STEPS) which is hosted at Github. Its kernel is coded in C++ with major functions of power flow and electro-mechanical dynamic simulation. Flexible options are provided and configurable to improve power flow solution and dynamic simulation. Common devices and models are supported in STEPS for AC/DC hybrid system studies. Studies of interconnected systems with different nominal frequencies is supported in STEPS for research of international interconnection. Application program interfaces are provided and wrapped with Python to enable high-level interfaces for general applications. STEPS is thread safe and parallel computation is supported in both kernel and script levels to accelerate simulation. It is portable and works on Windows and GNU/Linux platforms. Cases from small to large scale systems are thoroughly tested to validate the toolkit with commercial packages as benchmarks.

IEEE 1547-2018 Based Interoperable PV Inverter with Advanced Grid-Support Functions

Grid integration of photovoltaic (PV) inverters has been increasing in the past decade. As a result of the uncertainties introduced with high penetrations of PV, better monitoring and control of the PV inverters becomes crucial for improving overall system stability. This paper focuses on the communications capability of the inverter controller and on enabling interoperability. Multiple standards are available to enable interoperability in PV inverters. In this paper, an interoperable controller, enabled by Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3) communications protocols, is developed for a grid-connected, three-phase PV inverter. The DNP3 server for the PV inverter is programmed on the real-time layer of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based inverter controller. Set points for advanced inverter control functions, such as volt/VAr curves, ride-through curves, are sent from a DNP3 client, a simulated distribution management system application, to the PV inverter through DNP3. This communications capability of the inverter controller is validated using a controller-hardware-in-the-loop experimental setup. The code developed to achieve the interoperability is available in the public domain through open-source software licensing. This interoperability will enable smoother grid integration of smart PV inverters with advanced grid-support functions as well as allow better monitoring and control of PV inverters for grid stability.

Automated Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy Analysis for Multi-Modal Few-Shot Learning

Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is a powerful tool that allows for the atomic-scale analysis of a materials’ structure, chemistry, and defect domains (Akers et al. 2021). The current generation of microscopes generate vast amounts of data, surpassing the limits of effective manual analysis traditionally performed by domain experts (Spurgeon et al. 2021). While recent strides in machine learning have significantly enhanced the processing of large and intricate datasets acquired through electron microscopy, the prevalent use of proprietary software packages for initial data collection poses a challenge. In many cases, these software packages act as a ‘black box’, constraining user functionality and hindering the output of data in a format that is conducive to seamless integration into machine learning models. This work addresses these challenges by adapting HyperSpy, an open-source Python library, for the analysis and quantification of raw energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) data acquired through STEM. The modified HyperSpy code successfully facilitates user-defined segmentation of the data, enabling the integration of atomic %, weight %, and raw EDS spectra for each segmented region into an existing few-shot machine learning model. While initial results reveal discrepancies in quantified atomic and weight percentages when compared to proprietary software, ongoing efforts aim to rectify this issue by refining the fit of the HyperSpy model to the EDS spectra. Overall, this research underscores the potential of open-source tools like HyperSpy to enhance the accessibility of analytical tools, fostering a transparent and user-friendly environment for seamlessly incorporating electron microscopy data into machine learning models.

Model, data, and code for paper "Modeling of streamflow in a 30-kilometer-long reach spanning 5 years using OpenFOAM 5.x"

The data package includes data, model, and code that support the analyses and conclusions in the paper titled “modeling of streamflow in a 30-kilometer-long reach spanning 5 years using OpenFOAM 5.x”. The primary goal of this paper is to demonstrate that key streamflow properties such as water depth, flow velocity, and dynamic pressure in a natural river at 30-kilometer scale over 5 years can be reliably and efficiently modeled using the computational framework presented in this paper. To support the paper, various data types from remote sensing, field observations, and computational models are used. Specific details are described as follows. Firstly, the river bathymetry data was obtained from a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey. This data is then converted to a triangulated surface format, STL, for mesh generation in OpenFOAM. The STL data can be found in Model_Setups/BaseCase_2013To2015/constant/triSurface. The OpenFOAM mesh generated using this STL file can be found in constant/polyMesh. Other model setups, boundary and initial conditions can be found in /system and /0.org under folder BaseCase_2013To2015. A similar data structure can also be found in BaseCase_2018To2019 for the simulations during 2018 and 2019. Secondly, the OpenFOAM simulations need the upstream discharge and water depth information at the upstream boundary to drive the model. These data are generated from a one-dimensional hydraulic model and the data can be found under the folder Model_Setups /1D model Mass1 data. The mass1_65.csv and mass1_191.csv files include the results of the 1D model at the model inlet and outlet, respectively. The Matlab source code Mass1ToOFBC20182019.m is used to convert these data into OpenFOAM boundary condition setups.With the above OpenFOAM model, it can generate data for water surface elevation, flow velocity, and dynamic pressure. In this paper, the water surface elevation was measured at 7 locations during different periods between 2011 and 2019. The exact survey locations (see Fig1_SurveyLocations.txt) can be found in folder Fig_1. The variation of water stage over time at the 7 locations can be found in folder /Observation_WSE. The data type include .txt, .csv, .xlsx, and .mat. The .mat data can be loaded by Matlab.We also measured the flow velocities at 12 cross-sections along the river. At each cross-section, we recorded the x, y locations, depth, three velocity components u,v,w. These data are saved to a Matlab format which can be found under folder /Observation_Velocity and /Fig_1. The relative locations of velocity survey locations to the river bathymetry can be found in Figure 1c.The water stage data at the 7 locations from OpenFOAM, 1D, and 2D hydraulic models are also provided to evaluate the long-term performance of 3D models vs 1D/2D models. The water stage data for the 7 locations from OpenFOAM have been saved to .mat format and can be found in /OpenFOAM_WSE. The water stage data from the 1D model are saved in .csv format and can be found in /Mass1_WSE. The water stage from the 2D model is saved as .mat format and can be found in / Mass2_WSEIn addition, the OpenFOAM model outputs the information of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressure. They are saved as .mat format under folder /Fig_11/2013_1. As the files are too large, we only uploaded the data for January 2013. The area of different ratio of dynamic pressure to static pressure for all simulation range, i.e., 2013-2015, are saved to .mat format. They can be found in /Fig_11/PA. Further, the data of wall clock time versus the solution time of the OpenFOAM modeling are also saved to .mat format under folder /Fig_13/LogsMat. In summary, the data package contains seven data types, including .txt, .csv, .xlsx, .dat, .stl, .m, and .mat. The former 4 types can be directly open using a text editor or Microsoft Office. The .mat format needs to be read by Matlab. The Matlab source code .m files need to be run with Matlab. The OpenFOAM setups can be visualized in ParaView. The .stl file can be opened in ParaView or Blender. The data in subfolders Fig_1 to Fig_10 and Fig_12 are copied from the aforementioned data folders to generate specific figures for the paper. A readME.txt file is included in each subfolder to further describe how the data in each folder are generated and used to support the paper.Please use the data package's DOI to cite the data package.

A multiphysics model of the versatile test reactor based on the MOOSE framework

The traditional modeling approach for sodium fast reactor cores relies on separate physics models, where the fuel performance, thermal–hydraulics, and neutronics calculations required to predict the core physics characteristics for nominal conditions are decoupled by relying on user-imposed boundary conditions. Here, this paper aims at evaluating the impact of multiphysics simulations for predicting the core characteristics of the Versatile Test Reactor, which is being designed as a 300-MWt sodium-cooled fast reactor. The purpose of the Versatile Test Reactor is to accelerate the testing of advanced nuclear materials in the United States. The proposed multiphysics model relies on the Griffin reactor physics code, the SAM thermal–hydraulic system code, the BISON fuel performance code, as well as generic Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment capabilities implemented in the open-source tensor mechanics module. For k eff calculations, the introduction of a tight coupling between the neutronics, thermo-mechanical and thermal–hydraulics models induces a change of around 543 pcm in the eigenvalue, compared to the traditional standalone neutronics calculation where approximate temperature profiles are used. The multiphysics model is then employed for quantifying the impact of the thermal conductivity uncertainties on some of the key figures of merit, such as the fuel centerline temperature, assembly powers, and keff for nominal core conditions. As anticipated, uncertainties on fuel thermal conductivity mostly impact the fuel centerline temperature, and to a lesser extend the k eff .

NEAMS Model Contributions in 2023 to the National Reactor Innovation Center Virtual Test Bed for Use by Industry and Other Stakeholders

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy’s Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) Program develops models of advanced reactor phenomena to demonstrate code applicability to challenging physics problems, drive code development through user assessment, and perform code verification and validation. Meanwhile, the U.S. DOE’s National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) hosts an open-source website and associated GitHub repository called the Virtual Test Bed (VTB) on which computational models for advanced reactors are documented and shared with the reactor community. This work documents NEAMS efforts to support industry adoption of advanced modeling tools through contribution of 10 NEAMS models to the NRIC Virtual Test Bed including models for the High Temperature Test Facility (HTTF), TRISO fuel failure in a microreactor, and multiphysics models of a molten chloride fast reactor, among others. The open sharing of these models benefits the reactor community by providing “best practice” examples using NEAMS tools for advanced reactor physics problems. In particular, the HTTF model is being used for code validation and benchmarking activities. The microreactor and molten chloride fast reactor models are representative of analysis that may be useful for current candidates of DOME and LOTUS, NRIC’s physical testbeds. This report summarizes and provides links to these new models, among others.

Fully Implicit Conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis of the ARC-Class Vacuum Vessel

The coupled simulation of fusion reactor blankets including neutronics, thermal-hydraulics and thermo-mechanics is expected to speed up the design cycle of fusion reactor design concepts. In this work we demonstrate tight implicit coupling of conjugate heat transfer using the open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics software OpenFOAM for thermo-fluid mechanics and Diablo for thermo-solid mechanics. The heat transfer analysis is augmented by volumetric energy deposition from neutronic calculations using the Monte Carlo N-particle code on both solid and fluid parts of the vacuum vessel. An additional heat flux is imposed on the first wall estimated from the design power of the reactor. The tight coupling is realized through the open-source coupling library, preCICE, and tested on the vacuum vessel of the affordable, robust, compact reactor design by Commonwealth Fusion Systems. The features of the coupling and the influence of different coupling parameters such as coupling schemes, acceleration techniques and convergence criterion are discussed. The coupled simulation results are compared to a thermal-hydraulics simulation which includes only the fluid domains (the liquid immersion molten salt blanket and cooling channel) to demonstrate usefulness of a coupled simulation. Further analysis is performed to identify regions of hot spots for subsequent design improvement. This introduces the outline for integrating conjugate electromagnetics and fluid/solid mechanics (e.g., allow for deformation of the cooling channel walls) with our present approach for future analysis.

Slender-body approach for computing second-order wave loads in the frequency domain

This work presents a slender-body approach to evaluate the second-order wave loads acting on a floating structure in the frequency domain. The approach is in the same spirit as the common use of Morison’s equation to approximate the wave loads without solving the radiation/diffraction problem. To do so, we employ Rainey’s equation, which can be seen as an extension of the inertial part of Morison’s equation to include nonlinear effects. We introduce modifications to Rainey’s formulation in order to evaluate wave kinematics at the mean body position instead of the original approach of considering instantaneous displacements. We also propose a simple approximation to partially account for wave scattering effects on the second-order loads based on the analytical solution of a surface-piercing bottom-mounted vertical circular cylinder. Though limited to structures composed of cylinders, this slender-body approach is orders of magnitude faster than computing second-order wave coefficients with a radiation/diffraction code. We implemented this approach for difference-frequency (slow drift) loads in an open-source frequency-domain floating wind turbine model. We present comparisons against results obtained with radiation/diffraction theory for three reference floating wind turbine designs: the OC3-Hywind spar, the OC4-DeepCwind semisubmersible, and the VolturnUS-S semisubmersible. In general, the results show that the proposed slender-body approach with the correction to approximate wave scattering effects provides useful estimations of the difference-frequency wave loads and the resulting motions of the floater.

Project Update for “Designing Nuclear-data Measurements that Resolve Discrepancies in Existing Data” [Slides]

AIACHNE has made key progress this past year and will contribute to the larger scientific community. We recovered input data for the current 252 Cf(sf) PFNS evaluation that was previously lost. We render a standard to the best of our ability reproducible. We critically reviewed past data as input for ML & new standard evaluation that will impact PFNS of all major actinides. We developed a unique AI/ ML code that highlights which measurement features are related to bias and are working towards open-sourcing it for the community. Features that were identified as related to bias follow physics’ intuition and bring new understanding of exp effects and might help us for other reactions and isotopes. The results highlight that EXFOR is a goldmine of features that could help us understand experiment bias (if they are easy to parse).
