- 4/88-Present
- Los Alamos National Laboratory - worked as a Technical
Staff Member on various projects in the area of numerical
modeling. Projects included:
- parallel computational physics on unstructured meshes (the
CÆSAR
code package);
- radiation transport (hydrodynamics) on unstructured meshes (the
Augustus
and Spartan
packages);
- magnetohydrodynamics on unstructured meshes (the
Magnum
package);
- high-speed flow modeling with the PAGOSA code;
- neutronic modeling for the Accelerator Driven Assembly (ADA) project;
- code development (the Klaxon code) to model the thermohydraulic, high
temperature, sonic gas flow of hydrogen in the Nuclear Thermal Rocket
(NTR);
- transient thermohydraulic heat pipe modeling (the
THROHPUT
code);
- target/blanket design for the Accelerator Transmutation of Waste (ATW)
project;
- development of the SIMMER-III code, which numerically models liquid metal
fast breeder reactors (LMFBRs) during core disruptive accidents;
- modifications of a large production code (500,000 lines of FORTRAN) used
for weapons design.
- 5/85-8/85
- Los Alamos National Laboratory - worked with the Safety Code
Development Group of the Energy Division (Q-9) as a practicum for my DOE
fellowship.
