Phase Field Modeling of Near-Wellbore Hydraulic Fracture Nucleation and Propagation

The goal of Task 2 of the project titled "Closing the loop between in situ stress complexity and EGS fracture complexity" is to model fracture nucleation and propagation in the near wellbore region and, in combination with the experimental study conducted as part of Task 4, investigate the relationship between the in situ stress and the near-wellbore fracture patterns. To this end, We have identified phase field as a promising modeling approach to model the nucleation and propagation process in the near wellbore region. In phase field, fractures are represented by a diffuse variable, i.e the damage. Compared to approaches that model fractures as sharp interfaces, phase field does not require any re-meshing or element insertion algorithm, which makes the treatment of complex fracture geometries straightforward, even with simple meshes.

Assessment of diffuse-interface methods for compressible multiphase fluid flows and elastic-plastic deformation in solids

This work describes three diffuse-interface methods for the simulation of immiscible, compressible multiphase fluid flows and elastic-plastic deformation in solids. The first method is the localized-artificial-diffusivity approach of Cook, Subramaniam et al., and Adler and Lele, in which artificial diffusion terms are added to the individual phase mass fraction transport equations and are coupled with the other conservation equations. The second method is the gradient-form approach that is based on the quasi-conservative method of Shukla et al., in which the diffusion and sharpening terms (together called regularization terms) are added to the individual phase volume fraction transport equations and are coupled with the other conservation equations. The third approach is the divergence-form approach that is based on the fully conservative method of Jain et al., in which the regularization terms are added to the individual phase volume fraction transport equations and are coupled with the other conservation equations. In the present study, all three diffuse-interface methods are used in conjunction with a four-equation, multicomponent mixture model, in which pressure and temperature equilibria are assumed among the various phases. The primary objective of this work is to compare these three methods in terms of their ability to: maintain constant interface thickness throughout the simulation; conserve mass, momentum, and energy; and maintain accurate interface shape for long-time integration. The second objective of this work is to consistently extend these methods to model interfaces between solid materials with strength. To assess and compare the methods, they are used to simulate a wide variety of problems, including (1) advection of an air bubble in water, (2) shock interaction with a helium bubble in air, (3) shock interaction and the collapse of an air bubble in water, and (4) Richtmyer–Meshkov instability of a copper–aluminum interface. The current work focuses on comparing these methods in the limit of relatively coarse grid resolution, which illustrates the true performance of these methods. In conclusion, this is because it is rarely practical to use hundreds of grid points to resolve a single bubble or drop in large-scale simulations of engineering interest.

Loss and Isotopic Fractionation of Alkali Elements during Diffusion-Limited Evaporation from Molten Silicate: Theory and Experiments

Moderately volatile elements (MVEs) are variably depleted in planetary bodies, reflecting the imprints of nebular and planetary processes. Among MVEs, Na, K, and Rb are excellent tracers for unraveling the history of MVE depletion in planetary bodies because they have similar geochemical behaviors but can be chemically fractionated by evaporation and condensation processes. Furthermore, K and Rb are amenable to high-precision isotopic analyses, which can help constrain the conditions of evaporation and condensation. To quantitatively understand why Na, K, and Rb are depleted in planetary bodies, we have carried out vacuum evaporation experiments from basaltic melt at 1200 and 1400 °C to study their evaporation kinetics and isotopic fractionations. We chose this composition because it is relevant to evaporation from small differentiated planetesimals. The Rb isotopic compositions of the evaporation residues were measured by multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS), and the K isotopic compositions were measured along profiles across the residues by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). In the 1400 °C run products, we found that the concentrations of both K and Rb in the run products decreased from core to rim, which was accompanied by a heavy K isotope enrichment near the surface. This indicates that, in this run, evaporation was limited by diffusion. To use those data quantitatively, we derive analytical equations that describe the evaporation rate and isotopic fractionation associated with diffusion-limited evaporation from a sphere, slab, and cylinder in transient and quasi-steady state regimes. This model is used to tease out the roles that diffusive transport in the melt and evaporation at the melt/gas interface play in setting the elemental depletion and isotopic composition of the residue. Under our experimental conditions, volatility decreases in the order of Na, Rb, and K. Using our experimental results in a thermodynamic model, we have estimated the product γΓ of activity coefficients × evaporation coefficients of Na, Rb, and K. The measured isotopic compositions of the residues are well explained using Rayleigh distillations, whereby the relative volatilities of K and Rb isotopes are given by the square root of their masses. We use our results and previously published data to predict how K and Rb could have been lost as a function of temperature, melt composition, oxygen fugacity, and saturation degree relevant to Vesta’s building blocks. We find that the K and Rb depletions, K/Rb elemental fractionation, and δ 41 K and δ 87 Rb isotopic fractionations of Vesta (as sampled by howardite-eucrite-diogenite (HED) meteorites) are best explained by evaporation of submillimeter size objects for 0.1-10 years at moderate temperatures (~1050 °C) in a medium ~98.8% saturated.

A space-time adaptive finite element method with exponential time integrator for the phase field model of pitting corrosion

In this paper we propose a space-time adaptive finite element method for the phase field model of pitting corrosion, which is a parabolic partial differential equation system consisting of a phase variable and a concentration variable. A major challenge in solving this phase field model is that the problem is very stiff, which makes the time step size extremely small for standard temporal discretizations. Another difficulty is that a high spatial resolution is required to capture the steep gradients within the diffused interface, which results in very large number of degrees of freedom for uniform meshes. To overcome the stiffness of this model, we combine the Rosenbrock–Euler exponential integrator with Crank–Nicolson scheme for the temporal discretization. Moreover, by exploiting the fact that the speed of the corroding interface decreases with time, we derive an adaptive time stepping formula. For the spatial approximation, we propose a simple and efficient strategy to generate adaptive meshes that reduces the computational cost significantly. Thus, the proposed method utilizes local adaptivity and mesh refinement for efficient simulation of the corrosive dissolution over long times in heterogeneous media with complex microstructures. We also present an extensive set of numerical experiments in both two and three dimensional spaces to demonstrate efficiency and robustness of the proposed method.

Carrier Diffusion Lengths in Continuously Grown and Etched-and-Regrown GaN Pin Diodes

Advanced GaN power devices are promising for many applications in high power electronics but performance limitations due to material quality in etched-and-regrown junctions prevent their widespread use. Carrier diffusion length is a critical parameter that not only determines device performance but is also a diagnostic of material quality. Here we present the use of electron-beam induced current to measure carrier diffusion lengths in continuously grown and etched-and-regrown GaN pin diodes as models for interfaces in more complex devices. Variations in the quality of the etched-and-regrown junctions are observed and shown to be due to the degradation of the n-type material. Finally, we observe an etched-and-regrown junction with properties comparable to a continuously grown junction.

Demystifying the Stern layer at a metal–electrolyte interface: Local dielectric constant, specific ion adsorption, and partial charge transfer

Electric double layer (EDL) represents one of the most basic concepts in electrochemistry and is pertinent to diverse engineering applications ranging from electrocatalysis to energy storage. Whereas phenomenological and coarse-grained models have been long established to describe ionic distributions in the diffuse layer, a faithful prediction of the physicochemical properties of the electrode–electrolyte interface from a molecular perspective remains a daunting challenge. In this work, we investigate the charging behavior of an Ag (111) electrode in NaF aqueous solutions leveraging experimental results and theoretical calculations based on the classical density functional theory for ion distributions in the diffuse layer and on the joint density functional theory (JDFT) for the electronic structure. When the Ag electrode is applied with a negative voltage, the surface charge density can be reasonably described by assuming a neutral Stern layer with the dielectric constant dependent on the local electric field as predicted by the Kirkwood equation. However, the specific adsorption of F− ions must be considered when the electrode is positively charged and the fluoride adsorption can be attributed to both physical and chemical interactions. Qualitatively, F− binding and partial charge transfer are supported by JDFT calculations, which predict an increased binding energy as the voltage increases. Our findings shed insight on the molecular characteristics of the Stern layer and the charge behavior of adsorbed species not specified by conventional EDL models.

Investigation of Corrosion Behavior of Carbide Phase Strengthened Nickel‐Based Alloy in Molten Fluoride Salt

The corrosion behavior of a high creep strength carbide-phase strengthened Ni-based alloy in molten FLiNaK (LiF-NaF-KF: 46.5-11.5-42 mol%) salt in the temperature range of 700°C–750°C has been investigated as a part of the development of structural alloys for fluoride salt-based molten salt reactors (MSRs). The alloy composition was designed based on Hastelloy-N, but with the goal of improving creep strength. Cr depletion depth, a measure of corrosion, was observed to be single micrometers after several hundred hours of corrosion testing. Sequential corrosion testing involving testing of pre-tested samples in fresh salt coupled with SEM-EDS, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) examinations and thermodynamic and kinetic modeling, suggest that the corrosion rate at the alloy-salt interface is governed by diffusion of elements from the alloy bulk to the surface. The carbide phases in the corrosion-tested sample microstructure were identified to be largely M 6 C-type Mo-rich carbides and MC-type mixed carbides. Atom probe tomography (APT) showed some partitioning of Cr and Ti to the carbide phase and showed the carbide phases to be stable at the salt-facing surface.

Growth and Properties of Vapor Diffused Nb3Sn Coating for Superconducting Radiofrequency Accelerator Cavity Applications

The desire to reduce construction and operating costs of future SRF accelerators motivates the search for higher-performing alternative materials. Nb3Sn (Tc ~ 18.3 K and Hsh ~ 425 mT) is the front runner. The tin vapor diffusion process is currently the technique of choice to produce promising Nb3Sn-coated cavities. Understanding Nb3Sn nucleation and growth in this process is essential to progress. Samples representing different stages of Nb3Sn formation have been produced and studied to elucidate the effects of nucleation, growth, process conditions, and impurities. Nb3Sn films with thickness from a few hundred nm up to ~15 µm were grown and characterized. The microscopic examination of samples suggests the mechanisms of thin film nucleation and growth. Broadly, nucleation deposits tin as a thin surface phase and, under some conditions, a few hundred nanometer sized particles as well. Conditions that impair nucleation promote the formation of defects, such as ?patches?, in subsequent coating growth. Analysis of coated samples is consistent with the model of Nb3Sn grown in which tin diffuses via grain boundaries to Nb3Sn-Nb interface, where the growth Nb3Sn into the niobium bulk takes place. Similar scaling laws are found for grain growth and layer thickness. Non-parabolic layer growth is consistent with significant grain growth, which reduces the number of Sn-transport channels. Examination of patchy region in Nb3Sn coating revealed it to be large single crystalline grains, pointing to impeded Nb3Sn layer growth due to low grain boundary density, resulting in a significantly thin coating in those areas. Examination of RF loss regions from a coated cavity, identified with a thermometry mapping system showed patchy regions and carbonus defects were associated with strong local field-dependent surface resistance. RF measurements of coated cavities were combined with material characterization of witness samples and coated-cavity cutouts to improve the coating process. Understanding obtained and applied to cavity coatings, resulted in single-cell Nb3Sn cavities with a quality factor of ~2 ×1010 up to 15 MV/m accelerating gradient at 4 K, without "Wuppertal" Q-slope. We have also produced Nb3Sn-coated CEBAF 5-cell cavities with accelerating gradients useful for accelerator cryomodules. This dissertation will discuss the genesis of the Nb3Sn coating in a typical tin vapor diffusion process, effects of different process parameters, and its consequences to the coating of single-cell and multi-cell SRF cavities.

Localizing Clinical Patterns of Blast Traumatic Brain Injury Through Computational Modeling and Simulation

Blast traumatic brain injury is ubiquitous in modern military conflict with significant morbidity and mortality. Yet the mechanism by which blast overpressure waves cause specific intracranial injury in humans remains unclear. Reviewing of both the clinical experience of neurointensivists and neurosurgeons who treated service members exposed to blast have revealed a pattern of injury to cerebral blood vessels, manifested as subarachnoid hemorrhage, pseudoaneurysm, and early diffuse cerebral edema. Additionally, a seminal neuropathologic case series of victims of blast traumatic brain injury (TBI) showed unique astroglial scarring patterns at the following tissue interfaces: subpial glial plate, perivascular, periventricular, and cerebral gray-white interface. The uniting feature of both the clinical and neuropathologic findings in blast TBI is the co-location of injury to material interfaces, be it solid-fluid or solid-solid interface. This motivates the hypothesis that blast TBI is an injury at the intracranial mechanical interfaces. In order to investigate the intracranial interface dynamics, we performed a novel set of computational simulations using a model human head simplified but containing models of gyri, sulci, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), ventricles, and vasculature with high spatial resolution of the mechanical interfaces. Simulations were performed within a hybrid Eulerian—Lagrangian simulation suite (CTH coupled via Zapotec to Sierra Mechanics). Because of the large computational meshes, simulations required high performance computing resources. Twenty simulations were performed across multiple exposure scenarios—overpressures of 150, 250, and 500 kPa with 1 ms overpressure durations—for multiple blast exposures (front blast, side blast, and wall blast) across large variations in material model parameters (brain shear properties, skull elastic moduli). All simulations predict fluid cavitation within CSF (where intracerebral vasculature reside) with cavitation occurring deep and diffusely into cerebral sulci. These cavitation events are adjacent to high interface strain rates at the subpial glial plate. Larger overpressure simulations (250 and 500kPa) demonstrated intraventricular cavitation—also associated with adjacent high periventricular strain rates. Additionally, models of embedded intraparenchymal vascular structures—with diameters as small as 0.6 mm—predicted intravascular cavitation with adjacent high perivascular strain rates. The co-location of local maxima of strain rates near several of the regions that appear to be preferentially damaged in blast TBI (vascular structures, subpial glial plate, perivascular regions, and periventricular regions) suggest that intracranial interface dynamics may be important in understanding how blast overpressures leads to intracranial injury.

A compartmentalized model of multiphase chemical kinetics

There are significant challenges in predicting multiphase chemical kinetics due to the complex coupling of reaction and mass transport across a phase boundary (i.e., interface). Here, we describe a framework for predicting multiphase kinetics that embeds the elementary kinetic steps of reaction, solvation, and diffusion into a coarse grain spatial description of two phases. The model is constructed to bridge the short-timescale interfacial dynamics observed in molecular simulations with the longer timescales observed in kinetic experiments. A simple set of governing differential equations is derived, which, when solved numerically or analytically, yield accurate predictions of multiphase kinetics in microdroplets. Although the equations are formulated for gas-liquid reactions, the underlying conceptual framework is general and can be applied to transformations in other two-phase systems (solid-liquid, liquid-liquid, etc.).

Ab Initio Insights to Metal Passivation: Diffusion and Defect Formation in Amorphous Zirconia and Alumina

Metal passivation refers to the formation of protective oxide films on metals, which shield them from further corrosion and oxidation, playing a crucial role in maintaining their stability. The mesoscopic Point Defect Model has successfully predicted passivity as a steady state process where oxide growth from oxygen vacancies at the metal/film interface competes with oxide dissolution at the film/environment interface. In this work, informed by the Point Defect Model parameters, we use first-principles calculations to calculate defect formation and atomic diffusion in amorphous materials and correlate these descriptors with the behavior and growth of the oxide film. Focusing on amorphous zirconia and alumina, we demonstrate that defect formation energies exhibit significant variability in amorphous systems. In alumina, vacancies dominate, with cation and anion vacancies occurring at comparable concentrations. Diffusion calculations for stoichiometric amorphous alumina and zirconia, as well as oxygen-deficient zirconia, reveal faster diffusion in the oxygen-deficient case, highlighting the impact of defects on transport. Comparison of calculated self-diffusion coefficients for the dominant defect species with experimentally measured oxide thicknesses shows a clear correlation, suggesting that first-principles-derived diffusivity information can serve as a key descriptor for surface passivation film growth.

Effects of pore size on water dynamics in mesoporous silica

Water confined in mesoporous silica plays a central role in its many uses ranging from gas sorption to nanoconfined chemical reactions. Here in this paper, the influence of pore diameter (2.5–5.4 nm) on water hydrogen bond (H-bond) dynamics in MCM41 and SBA15 mesoporous silicas is investigated using femtosecond infrared vibrational spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations on selenocyanate (SeCN-) anions dissolved in the pores. As shown recently, SeCN- spectral diffusion is a reliable probe of surrounding water H-bond structural motions. Additionally, the long CN stretch vibrational lifetime facilitates measurement of the full range of confined dynamics, which are much slower than in bulk water. The simulations shed light on quantitative details that are inaccessible from the spatially averaged observables. The dependence of SeCN- orientational relaxation and that of spectral diffusion on the distance from the silica interface are quantitatively described with an exponential decay and a smoothed step-function, respectively. The distance-dependence of both quantities is found to be independent of the diameter of the pores, and the spatial distribution of SeCN- is markedly non-uniform, reaching a maximum between the interface and the pore center. The results indicate that the commonly invoked two-state, or core–shell, model is a more appropriate description of spectral diffusion. Using these insights, we model the full time-dependence of the measured dynamics for all pore sizes and extract the “core” and “shell” dynamical correlation functions and SeCN- spatial probability distributions. The results are critically compared to those for water confined in reverse micelles.

Experimental and modeling study of the effect of confinement on the thermal decomposition of organic materials

Simultaneous Thermal Analysis is widely used to study thermal decomposition of a variety of organic materials, and the choice of experimental conditions is very important to obtain reliable mass loss and heat flow curves. Here in this work we investigate the effect of confinement on the thermal decomposition of organic materials. As an example, we explore high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and one of its pyrolysis products, namely eicosane (C 20 H 42 ), through experiments and modeling in open crucibles and crucibles closed with a pierced lid. A new model is developed for evaporation and sublimation from open and pinhole thermal-analysis pans. It considers the kinetic resistance of evaporation at the liquid-vapor interface, inhibition of evaporation by buildup of vapor inside the pan, thermal expansion of vapor inside the pan, and diffusion of vapor from the pan. The model is validated using simultaneous heat-flow and mass-loss measurements of n-eicosane evaporation for various pinhole sizes, down to 50 µm. The importance of product evaporation inhibition for measuring polymer decomposition was demonstrated using HDPE. This study sheds light on the effect of confinement on the mass loss rate of organic materials.

Atomistic modeling of metal–nonmetal interphase boundary diffusion

Atomistic computer simulations are applied to investigate the atomic structure, thermal stability, and diffusion processes in Al–Si interphase boundaries as a prototype of metal–ceramic interfaces in composite materials. Some of the most stable orientation relationships between the phases found in this work were previously observed in epitaxy experiments. Here, a non-equilibrium interface can transform to a more stable state by a mechanism that we call interface-induced recrystallization. Diffusion of both Al and Si atoms in stable Al–Si interfaces is surprisingly slow compared with diffusion of both elements in Al grain boundaries but can be accelerated in the presence of interface disconnections. A qualitative explanation of the sluggish interphase boundary diffusion is proposed. Atomic mechanisms of interphase boundary diffusion are similar to those in metallic grain boundaries and are dominated by correlated atomic rearrangements in the form of strings and rings of collectively moving atoms.

A Phase-Field Model for In-Space Manufacturing of Binary Alloys

The integrity of the final printed components is mostly dictated by the adhesion between the particles and phases that form upon solidification, which is a major problem in printing metallic parts using available In-Space Manufacturing (ISM) technologies based on the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) methodology. Understanding the melting/solidification process helps increase particle adherence and allows to produce components with greater mechanical integrity. We developed a phase-field model of solidification for binary alloys. The phase-field approach is unique in capturing the microstructure with computationally tractable costs. The developed phase-field model of solidification of binary alloys satisfies the stability conditions at all temperatures. The suggested model is tuned for Ni-Cu alloy feedstocks. We derived the Ginzburg-Landau equations governing the phase transformation kinetics and solved them analytically for the dilute solution. We calculated the concentration profile as a function of interface velocity for a one-dimensional steady-state diffuse interface neglecting elasticity and obtained the partition coefficient, k, as a function of interface velocity. Numerical simulations for the diluted solution are used to study the interface velocity as a function of undercooling for the classic sharp interface model, partitionless solidification, and thin interface.

Modeling the electrochemical behavior and interfacial junction profiles of bipolar membranes at solar flux relevant operating current densities

A 1-dimensional, multi-physics model that accounts for the migration and diffusion of solution species, electrostatics, and chemical reactions, in particular water dissociation (WD), at bipolar membrane (BPM) interfaces was developed to study the electrochemical behavior of bipolar membranes (BPMs) at solar flux relevant operating current densities (tens of mA cm -2 ). Significant partial current densities for WD were observed at BPM voltages much less than the equilibrium voltage, e.g., 59 mV × ΔpH from both experiments and modeling. The co-ion leakage across the BPM at pH differentials accounted for the early presence of the partial current density for WD. Two distinctive electric field dependent WD pathways, the un-catalyzed pathway and the catalyzed pathway, were quantitatively and parametrically studied to improve the turn-on potential of the BPM. The catalyzed pathway accounted for the majority of the partial current density for WD at low voltages, while the un-catalyzed pathway dominated the WD at relatively high voltages. Significant WD was observed only within the interfacial CL (<5 nm), in which a large electric field was present. To improve the electrochemical behavior and the turn-on potential of BPMs, the impacts of the pKa of the immobilized WD catalysts, the electric-field dependent rate constant, the thickness of the catalyst layer and fixed charge density in BPMs on the partial current densities for WD were studied systematically. In addition, the electrochemical behavior and concentration profiles of BPMs in a buffered electrolyte were studied and contrasted with those in an un-buffered electrolyte from both modeling and experiments.

Modeling discontinuous dynamic recrystallization containing second phase particles in magnesium alloys utilizing phase field method

Pre-existing second phase particles can induce particle stimulated nucleation (PSN) and pinning effect on grain boundaries during DRX process of magnesium alloys. The interaction among pinning effect, PSN mechanism and strain-induced grain boundary migration (SIBM) nucleation mechanism imposes challenge in quantitative study of microstructure evolution. A phase field model that describes discontinuous dynamic recrystallization process considering second phase particles (PF-DDRX-SP) which mainly distribute along grain boundaries is developed. The second phase order parameter with diffusion interface is introduced to the free energy function. With considering the pinning effect of second phase particles on grain boundaries, the grain boundary energy couples the interaction between second phase and grains. The effect of second phase on dislocation density evolution is considered in the model, and the PSN and SIBM mechanism are both executed by limiting the nucleation position to the grain boundary and the second phase interface. For the validation, the initial topology consistent with initial microstructure is applied to the simulation of DRX kinetics and flow behavior of AZ80 magnesium alloy, and great reliability and accuracy of developed model is indicated. Furthermore, through the model, the microstructure evolution with different particle size and with different volume fraction of round particle during DRX process were simulated. Finally, the results show that particles with higher dispersion reduce the number of DRX nuclei, which indicate that second phase particles suppress the nucleation at grain boundaries because of the pinning effect. More importantly, the proposed model could also quantitatively predict the relationships between the parameters of second phase particles and DRX behaviors, and enable to optimize the initial second phase structure in a uniform grain structure during thermomechanical process.
