Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: heinonen (Olle Heinonen) Project: Meso Title: Mesoscale computational materials science Description: This project has three thrusts: (i) development of computational codes and algorithms for mesoscale modeling of inhomogeneous materials systems and applications of these codes, (ii) modeling of magnetic micron- and nano-scale systems, and (iii) first-principle modeling of metal/oxide/metal heterostructures and complex oxides. In the first thrust, we are developing scalable finite element codes for coupled elastic-ferroic systems, as well as charged particles immersed in a dielectric fluid subjected to electric fields. The code developments build on libraries such as libmesh and PETSc to achieve portable, scalable and highly efficiently parallelized codes. In particular, we are developing codes that combine fast-multipole methods with boundary element methods (FMM-BEM)to calculate long-range electrostatic and magnetostatic fields from bound and free surface charges. Within the MOOSE framework, we are also developing solvers for coupled ferroelectric/ferromagnetic-elastic systems. We will in the coming year integrate the FMM-BEM method with the MOOSE framework and apply the codes to study ferroelectric or ferromagnetic thin films and nanoparticles, as well as inhomogeneous composite multiferroic systems. We are in contact with a number of experimental groups with which we expect to collaborate. The work in this first thrust is integrated into codes under the MICCoM computational materials center led by Giulia Galli. The codes developed under this thrust are also massively scalable to leadership-class computer platforms. The programming language for these developments is C++. As we move from development to production phases we expect to run on up to 248 cores on fusion and blues. The MOOSE framework has been shown to scale almost linearly up to some 100k cores on BG/Q without any BG/Q-specific optimization. For the FMM-BEM method we have already shown linear scaling with the number of cores (using hybrid MPI-threading) to hundreds of cores. In the second thrust we are modeling static and dynamic magnet configurations in a variety of magnetic systems. This work is in collaboration with a number of experimental groups at Argonne and around the world. The workhorse of this thrust is a homemade micromagnetic code, or set of codes, in FORTRAN90 parallellized using OpenMP in addition to mkl libraries (in particular mkl dft); they only run on one node at a time but have been optimized and are highly efficient, typically running at 95% efficiency on eight to 32 cores. These runs typically consume one node on fusion or blues (all cores on the node), including the msd queue's Haswell nodes for one to 30 wall-hours. In thrust (iii), we are using the SIESTA/smeagol (a development version), quantum espresso (QE) and FHI-aims density functional theory based codes. All have been built and optimized for blues/fusion and we can routinely run on up to a few hundred cores (up to some tens of thousand cores on BG/Q) using hybrid parallelization (smeagol) or just MPI tasks (QE and FHI-aims). We are continuing to model electronic structure and transport properties of oxide heterostructures and complex oxides. The focus is shifting a bit FY2017 since this thrust will be aligned with the BES-funded computational materials center (led by ORNL). We expect there to be about seven members in this project (PI, two co-PIs, three post-docs and one graduate student). Current: undetermined amount Justification: The codes we will use have all been tested and optimized and run efficiently on blues. Requested: 302000 A specific reason has been given: We have already burnt through our 6-month allocation of 255k core-hours (except for 16k, which is not enough for one of the jobs I need to start), so we need additional time allocated. This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon. Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System

Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: zhanga (Anqi Zhang) Project: ignition-plasma Title: Numerical Investigation of Plasma Fundamentals for Engine Ignition Applications Description: There are two major goals for this project: • Establish proper methodology to characterize different ignition systems and assess their effects on engine combustion • Investigate practical solutions to integrate essential physical processes to larger-scale engine simulations Detailed energy deposition method in Eulerian domain has been used and yielded promising results for conventional systems in FY2016. In FY2017, similar numerical approach will be carried on to: 1) improve conventional spark ignition model to account for local flow effects; 2) characterize non-equilibrium plasma discharge against experimental measurements (x-ray radiography and O-TALIF); 3) identify dominate species and reactions induced by non-equilibrium plasma ignition systems; 4) evaluate the effect of electric field; and 5) validate ignition model performance against optical flame kernel measurements. Simulations of this project will be performed using CONVERGE CFD code which features run-time mesh generation that speeds up pre-processing. Paraview together with python scripts will be used for post processing of CFD results. The computational cell count is on the order of one to a few million cells depending on the physical geometries. Currently, there will be only one member user (zhanga) working regularly on this project performing on average 2 jobs daily. A typical job would require 48-96 cores, yielding an estimation of quarterly core-hrs requirement of 64 cores x 24 hrs x 90 days x 2 jobs = 276,480. In addition, a portion of post processing will also be carried on the cluster to save file transfer time. With moderate queuing time taken into account, 225,000 core-hrs per quarter are requested for FY2017 for this project. The efforts will be distributed relatively evenly throughout the year. Current: undetermined amount Justification: Previous scalability tests performed on Blues have shown acceptable efficiency on up to 4 nodes: Job: Detailed energy deposition for spherical flame development in Eulerian domain (first 80 time steps during which high power energy release occurs): Nodes Wall Time Used (sec) Efficiency 1 node (16 cores) 3613 - 2 nodes (32 cores) 2053 88% 3 nodes (48 cores) 1502 80% 4 nodes (64 cores) 1195 76% Requested: 300000 A specific reason has been given: I'm requesting 300,000 core-hours for the rest of first half fiscal year 2017 (Oct-Mar). My original request (at beginning of FY2017) was 450,000 for the first half and was granted only 150,000. At this stage (about 1/3 of the first half of the fiscal year) the account balance is very low already, which shows a good match with originally expected core-hour consumption. Thus I'm asking to match the originally requested amount. This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon. Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System

Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: tsizyuk (Tatyana Sizyuk) Project: HEIGHTS-3D Title: Advanced 2D and 3D Laser-Produced Plasma Processes modeling for EUV and BEUV Lithography and other advanced plasma applications. Modeling of transient events in full 3D fusion reactor environment. Description: The developed models and packages will be used for 1) the analysis of edge plasma and materials response during transient events in entire fusion reactor geometry and 2) optimization of LPP systems for industrial applications. The developed models will be benchmarked with in-house experiments at our CMUXE center. We will upgrade the HEIGHTS package to include detailed models for the description of laser/matter interactions in short and ultra-short laser systems with various materials and for accurate modeling of target evolution and dynamics. Parallel implementation of models will be analyzed to improve the efficiency of 3D HEIGHTS packages. We will study the following state-of-the art multi-phase multi-physics engineering applications: 1. Optimization of LPP systems for EUV and Water-Window photon sources using multi-beam lasers with different directions and energy. These tasks will require comprehensive full 3D simulations using parallel computations. 2. HEIGHTS 3D LPP package will be used also for modeling of colliding plasma experiments to study plasma characteristics in the stagnation layers and to predict new structures formation in dependence on LPP multi-beam device parameters. 3. HEIGHTS 3D package for modeling of fusion reactor environment will be used for the analysis of power exhaust issues in various tokamaks. Improvement of the efficiency of parallel calculations will be one of the important tasks for this comprehensive package optimization. We could not use extensively these packages during the last year due to reduced priority for our project that resulted in long time waiting in the queue. This is the reason also that we did not use all allocated time for our project, so we tried to concentrate our work on models development and optimization using small server system. We hope to get higher priority in near future to use developed codes on fast Blues cluster. We depend highly on the use of this cluster since our comprehensive packages could not run efficiently on other systems with insufficient computer resources. We would like to request 450,000 allocation hours to conduct various optimizations, benchmarking, and parametric studies of the HEIGHTS 3D packages for several projects during FY2017. ~20% of the allocation will be for non-parallel jobs Current: undetermined amount Justification: Requested: 100000 A specific reason has been given: We used extensively Blues System for 3D modeling of multi-laser devices and fusion reactor and used most of the time allocated for the first quarter of FY. We have several important tasks to finish with these simulations including optimization of our codes. Blues helps us much in this regard. Could you please increase our allocation for this quarter? This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon. Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System

Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: ssom (Sibendu Som) Project: gm_gasexchange Title: Modeling Cyclic Variability in the GM TCC Engine Using LES Description: The project is divided into three parts: In the first part, large eddy simulation (LES) will be used to model 50 consecutive cycles of the fired GM transparent combustion chamber (TCC) engine with a base grid size of 0.5 mm. Adaptive mesh refinement will be employed to resolve the flame region with a 0.125 mm grid. The mean and variance of the predicted flow field and the in-cylinder pressures will be compared to the PIV measurements. In the second part of this study, the parallel cycle methodology will be extended to the fired TCC engine, which will enable fast throughput computation of the cyclic variability. In the previous year, this methodology was demonstrated for motored conditions. In the final part of this study, the parallel cycle methodology will be used to perform a parametric study on the influence of numerical parameters like minimum grid size, number of cycles, and spark energy deposition on the predicted cyclic variability. Current: undetermined amount Justification: Requested: 150000 A specific reason has been given: we ran more simulations than what we were expecting to run initially. These extra simulations have resulted in an additional paper with GM R&D for SAE WC 2017. This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon. Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System

Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: barlo (Lorenzo Bartolucci) Project: GAS_injection Title: High-Pressure Gaseous Fuel Injection Research – in-nozzle flow and jet evolution Description: This project focuses on investigating the in-nozzle flow for a gaseous inward opening injector and the consequently under-expanded jet evolution. This is aimed to provide a better comprehension of the local phenomenon and how those affect the typical behavior of the under-expanded gaseous jet (such as mach disk location and width, local thermo-fluid-dynamics properties and mixing with the surrounding mixture). At the current stage, the mesh influence on the quality of the numerical results has been deeply analyzed. An optimum mesh strategy and size have been found as a compromise between the numerical accuracy and the computational costs. The x-ray radiography data has been used as a reference for the comparison. Preliminary results have been obtained for the steady state simulation showing a good agreement with the experimental data. Currently an improvement in the agreement in terms of jet spread and mass distribution is under investigation. Future work would aim to represent also the opening and closing transient to provide a detailed instrument of analysis of the high injection phenomena occurring during these unsteady phases. Simulations will be performed with the commercial code CONVERGE and computational grids of the order of 15 millions of cells which will require the use of 64-144 cores depending on the specific case. The project has one member (barlo) working full-time on it, with 1-2 cases running regularly. With an average estimate of 96cores per run and 2 cases the expected amount of core-hrs needed for this project for each quarter is 96 cores x 24 hrs x 2 runs x 90 days = 414720. Considering some queue and post-processing time our request is for 1000000 hrs total, equally distributed for each quarter. Current: undetermined amount Justification: Recent scalability test (June 2016) performed on Blues provided following results: Simulation of gas jet from inward opening pintle. Mesh size = 15,000,000 cells 1 node (16 cores) – walltime = memory problems 2 nodes (32 cores) – walltime = 45min 15sec  100 % 3 nodes (48 cores) – walltime = 33min 18sec  90 % 6 nodes (96 cores) – walltime = 21min 50sec  70 % Requested: 100000 A specific reason has been given: Hi, due to the high efforts that I am spending in the simulation of the highly under-expanded gaseous injection I have finished the corehours reserved for my project (GAS_injection). The simulation needs very high resolution in terms of grid spacing and time step discretization which lead to an high computational cost for each case. Moreover several parameters need to be modeled and correctly set, resulting in an extremly high request in terms of corehours to reach good results. I have currently done a lot of work and very few more efforts are needed to reach the target. I would ask for an extention of corehours (approximately 100.000 if possible) to the end of the current quarter. Thanks in advance, Lorenzo This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon. Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System

Applicant's name: Anh Ngo Applicant's institution: ANL Applicant's division: MSD Project Name: SEI Project title: The effect of the transition metals on the solid electrolyte interphase in Li-ion batteries Associated funding: LDRD Other Systems: Science: Li-ion batteries (LIB) have become one of the most advanced rechargeable batteries as they shown great promise as power sources that can lead to the next electric vehicle revolution. Currently, rechargeable Li-ion batteries are key components of the mobile power sources for portable electronic devices. With high energy efficiency, Li-ion batteries may also be used in various electric applications including energy storage for renewable energy sources from wind and solar , however its large-scale applications are still hampered by narrow working temperature ranges and safety concerns under. For Li-ion batteries with cathode materials such as the layered LiMO2 where M is a transition metal (M = Mn, Co, Ni), M(II) ions are dissolved from the cathode and transferred by diffusion and migration toward the opposite anode through the thin separator. The experimental observation of the charge – discharge curves at the graphite electrode indicate that M(II) deposition causes a large reduction in the reversible capacity of the graphite anode which becomes worse with increasing M(II) concentration. The actual mechanism by which transition metal dissolution affects the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth on the anode is still unclear and remains puzzling. In this study, we plan to address in detail several reactions of M(II) ions with major products of the SEI including lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), lithium fluoride (LiF), and lithium oxide (Li2O). The project will be carried out in as part of the CEES-II EFRC (Argonne) by theorists Anh Ngo (MSD), Hakim Iddir (MSD), and Larry Curtiss (MSD), who specialize in Density Functional Theory calculations. We will focus on following questions: 1. What is the impact of an M ion and its doping concentration on SEI structures? 2. What are oxidation/charge states of M ions in SEI structures? 3. Which mechanism causes capacity fading in Li ion batteries in the transition metal cathode materials? Such study will provide valuable information and we will be able to validate our theoretical results with the ongoing experimental efforts at Argonne. Project description: Description: Structure optimizations of Li2CO3, LiF and Li2O (~100 atoms) with different magnetic configurations will be carried out using (2 x 2x 2) bulk unit cells. By comparing different magnetic ordering energies we will conclude which configuration corresponding to the ground state energy. Once the ground state structure is found we will go on to address the SEI structural dependence of M ion doping concentration. We intend to carry out the density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the VASP package and the GPAW code. Periodic boundary conditions (PBC) will be imposed in order to maintain periodicity of the solid support. The gradient corrected PBE density functional will be used for these calculations. Those programs are currently available on Blues cluster and scale reasonably well on parallel processors. Since SEI doped M is a correlated complex oxide, we will perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) hybrid functional and perform the atomic relaxations within the unit cells. Energy optimization of the SEI structure (~100 atoms) using HSE takes approximately 9216 CPU hours (16*6*96) and we plan roughly 55 such calculations. For doping calculations, each takes approximately 6912 CPU hours (16*6*72) and we plan to run 68 of these calculations. So our total request is 9216*55 + 16*6*72 *68 = 976896 core hours.
