Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Tatyana Sizyuk Project Name: HEIGHTS-3D Division: NE Project title: Advanced 2D and 3D Laser-Produced Plasma Processes modeling for EUV and BEUV Lithography and other advanced plasma applications. Modeling of plasma material interaction during edge-localized modes and disruptions in fusion devices. Associated funding: NSF, PIRE grant Other Systems: Science: Predictive analysis and optimization of plasma devices, such as laser produced plasma (LPP), discharge produced plasma (DPP), of fusion reactor environment, require accurate description of all possible processes occurring during photon/particles/target interactions. Models and methods should be carefully tested, revised and benchmarked to make realistic predictions without any assumptions or adjustment parameters. The HEIGHTS package from this point of view is being continuously upgraded and benchmarked for various energy sources and for different materials. This is the main point of our research and analysis. This leads to the development of comprehensive models integrated in a self-consistent manner to describe realistic conditions and to optimize plasma devices. HEIGHTS package is being developed as a comprehensive tool for simulation and optimization of various interaction processes during intense power deposition of various energy sources such as plasma, laser, and particle beams incident on target materials. This is multi-physics multi-phase package that combines state-of-the art models of energy deposition, vapor/plasma formation/evolution and magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) processes, thermal conduction in material and in plasma, atomic physics and resulting opacities, detailed photon radiation transport, and interaction between plasma/radiation and target material in full three dimension configurations. Project description: We use splitting methods that involve decoupling the full model into separate components for each process, employing specialized numerical methods to solve each component, and coupling the resulting solutions. Modeling of the entire evolution of laser produced plasma (LPP) in HEIGHTS package utilizes the most suited numerical and physical models for LPP plasma, e.g., weighted Monte Carlo methods for laser deposition and plasma radiation, phase change and thermal vaporization based on surface atoms kinetics modeling, Eulerian/Lagrangian description of plasma hydrodynamic evolution in multidimensional finite volume approximation, and implicit methods for plasma thermal conduction and magnetic diffusion with sparse linear equations solvers. Plasma thermodynamic properties and optical coefficients are calculated using the self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Slater (HFS) model implemented in HEIGHTS. The populations of atomic levels, ionization balance, and the ion and electron plasma concentrations are obtained based on the collisional-radiative equilibrium (CRE) approximation. Tabulated plasma properties and optical coefficients for wide range of temperatures and densities are used during the simulation of whole cycle of plasma evolution in LPP. Above models in the frame of HEIGHTS package will be used for the simulation and optimization of various plasma physics applications. These models will be extended to describe plasma evolution in femtosecond laser devices where intense laser beams irradiate materials creating warm dense matter with specific characteristics. HEIGHTS package is being updated on continuing basis with frequent add-on of new modules, improving of developed physical models and mathematics, and revising of parallel computing methods. We will study the following state-of-the art multi-phase multi-physics applications: 1. Laser produced plasma evolution in presence of ambient gas to predict material erosion, plume propagation and emission. 2. Analysis of plasma phenomena produced by intense femtosecond lasers. 3. Optimization of LPP devices for EUV and BEUV lithography using both YAG and CO2 lasers, pre-pulse/main pulse, mass-limited tin targets. 4. Analysis and prediction of colliding plasmas physics for various applications. 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 FY2015. ~30% of the allocation will be for non-parallel jobs Industry partnership: Project URL: Current FY Hours Used: undetermined amount New FY Requested allocation: 450000 Q1: 110000 Q2: 120000 Q3: 110000 Q4: 110000 Justification: Storage requirements: Thank You, The LCRC Accounts System
