We find our motivation in astrophysical connections
• Radiative shocks have strong radiative energy transport that determines the shock structure
• Exist throughout astrophysics

A brief primer on shock wave structure
• Behind the shock, the faster sound waves connect the entire plasma
Denser,Hotter Initial plasmaShock velocity, us
Mach number M > 1
unshockedshocked
Mach number M = us / csound

Shock waves become radiative when …
• radiative energy flux would exceed incoming material energy flux
where post-shock temperature is proportional to us2.
• Setting these fluxes equal gives a threshold velocity of 60 km/s for our system:

The CRASH project began with several elements
• An experimental system that is challenging to model and relevant to NNSA, motivated by astrophysics
• A 3D adaptive, well scaled, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code with a 15 year legacy and many users
• A 3D deterministic radiative transfer code developed for parallel platforms
• A strong V&V tradition with both codes • Some ideas about how to approach
“UQ” in general and specifically the Assessment of Predictive Capability

What we predict
What the radiograph fundamentally shows us is where dense Xe exists
Grid
• We predict scalar quantities– By predictive modeling we mean– computing an estimate of the
probability distribution function (pdf) of the outputs generated by the pdf of the inputs for a prospective field experiment, informed by both simulation and prior field experiments
• We predict the area where dense xenon exists on a radiograph and selected moments of the distribution of such locations– Holloway will show much more
about this– Grosskopf has a poster on the
integrated metrics

CRASH has proven useful
• Design simulations of radiative reverse shock experiments
• Simulations of ongoing NIF experiment
• Simulations of x-ray driven radiative-shocks
• We used CRASH to help select some details of the radiative reverse shock design (Krauland poster)
x-ray driven radiative-shock (Myra poster)

We have accomplished a lot during the past year • UQ and predictive studies
– Predictive study involving calibration – Two papers – Radiograph interpreter for integrated
metrics– Deeper analysis of experimental and of
all sources of uncertainty – Extensive studies of output sensitivity
to code details– New tests– H2D 104 run set – Predictive study with calibration from
H2D run set– Analysis of H2D limitations– 3D Hydro experiment design
• CRASH 2.0 released and used– X-ray-driven modeling – Pure hydro nozzle study– Application to other experiments – Detailed examination of axial structures– Hydro instability studies
• Code improvements – Flux limited electron heat xport– EOS source adaptivity – Laser package – Progress on multigroup preconditioner– Hydro adjoint implementation– Reduced alchemy– Improved parallel I/O? – Vastly improved PDT scaling
– Physics – Radtran & radhydro theory papers – X-ray driven walls theory – Further work on wall shock – Obtaining STA opacities – Work on non-LTE effects – SN/FLD comparison
– Experiments – Shock breakout measurements – Initial attempts at other early time
measurements – Late time (26 ns) measurements for
predictive study – Radiograph analysis (compression,
background)– UQ-driven planning for year-3
experiments– Metrology comparison

We have also encountered some challenges
![Page 14: Center for Radiative Shock Hydrodynamics Fall 2010 Review](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011718/56816761550346895ddc37e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Initializing CRASH with Hyades proved problematic
• H2D has a laser package and (now) rezoner– Did run set for Dec 09 expt– Superseded by 104-run set
done in early 2010– This has produced results
• But using Hyades has proven impractical – Rezoner had fidelity issues – Code revisions were slow – UQ was problematic– Results differ vs CRASH– H2D is manpower intensive
• The rezoner works fine for typical design studies but not for predictive science
• Comparison using 6 vs 3 zones in auto-rezoner:
Decision:do a laser package in CRASH
![Page 15: Center for Radiative Shock Hydrodynamics Fall 2010 Review](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011718/56816761550346895ddc37e5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Page 15
The simulated morphological features were not useful for UQ• The CRASH code has yet to reliably produce the observed
morphology in runs using Hyades initialization for laser drive
Decisions: 1. Focused effort for several months, then moved on; later
improvements made a difference: see talk by Ken Powell2. Adopted integrated metrics that are independent of morphological detail: see poster by Mike Grosskopf 3. Did predictive study with calibration using 1D simulations:
see talk by James Holloway

Politics precluded integration of CRASH and PDT
• One of the TST members indicated that at the labs the combined code would be considered UCNI – We sought a ruling, and what came out of DOE HQ was: “The final
authority believes that the guidance is wrong and should be changed, but under current rules such a code would be UCNI”
– We are told this will be addressed, “slowly” • This is despite the fact that several US universities and numerous
foreign researchers are writing and even publishing codes with analogous capabilities.
• Doing an UCNI code is for us a practical non-starter
Decision: until this situation changes, we will pursue correlated studies to understand the impact of limited fidelity
It might prove useful for the Review Team to make a very strong recommendation to DOE about addressing this

We are now ready for multi-D integrated studies
• Our code is “good enough” and is getting better • We have carried out the UQ elements needed• The primary limitation going forward is computational
– Details and implications to be discussed at length later – Includes core-hours limitations but also much more – Affects approach to UQ (following talks)
• We intend to be the first academic team– to use statistical Assessment of Predictive Capability– to guide improvements in simulations and field experiments – that lead to predictions, known to have improved accuracy, of
field experiments having extrapolated parameters (not physics) – and to demonstrate this by field measurements.

Our experimental sequence will improve and test our assessment of predictive capability
• A conceptually simple experiment– Launch a Be plasma down a
shock tube at ~ 200 km/s• Year 5 experiment
– Predict outcome and accuracy before doing year 5 experiment
• Goals– Improve predictive accuracy
during project– Demonstrate a predictive
uncertainty comparable to the observed experimental variability
– A big challenge and achievement
