Multi-Gpu Accelerated High-Fidelity Simulations Of Beam-Beam Effects In Particle Colliders, Naga Sai Ravi Teja Majeti Jul 2017

Multi-Gpu Accelerated High-Fidelity Simulations Of Beam-Beam Effects In Particle Colliders, Naga Sai Ravi Teja Majeti

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

Numerical simulation of beam-beam effects in particle colliders are crucial in understanding and the design of future machines such as electron-ion colliders (JLEIC), linac-ring machines (eRHIC) or LHeC. These simulations model the non-linear collision dynamics of two counter rotating beams in particle colliders for millions of turns. In particular, at each turn, the algorithm simulates the collision of two directed beams propagating at different speeds with different number of bunches each. This leads to non-pair-wise collisions of beams with different number of bunches that results in an increase in the computational load proportional to the number of bunches in the …


A Predictor Analysis Framework For Surface Radiation Budget Reprocessing Using Design Of Experiments, Patricia Allison Quigley Apr 2017

A Predictor Analysis Framework For Surface Radiation Budget Reprocessing Using Design Of Experiments, Patricia Allison Quigley

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Earth’s Radiation Budget (ERB) is an accounting of all incoming energy from the sun and outgoing energy reflected and radiated to space by earth’s surface and atmosphere. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Surface Radiation Budget (SRB) project produces and archives long-term datasets representative of this energy exchange system on a global scale. The data are comprised of the longwave and shortwave radiative components of the system and is algorithmically derived from satellite and atmospheric assimilation products, and acquired atmospheric data. It is stored as 3-hourly, daily, monthly/3-hourly, and monthly averages of 1°x1° …
