At the 22nd annual Sandia/California Math & Science Awards last month, CRF researchers Patricia Gharagozloo, a mechanical engineer, and Karla Morris, a software engineer, shared their career journeys with the award recipients, 22 young women from area high schools. While their paths were quite different, they started with something in common—in high school, neither saw…
Berta Matas Güell, SINTEF Host: Chris Shaddix During a month-long stay at the CRF, Berta employed Sandia’s unique reactor facilities to study the high-temperature entrained flow gasification rates of coal and biomass particles. Findings will be used to model gasifier performance, an important step toward an approach for producing liquid transportation fuels. Berta is an…
On May 14, the Center for Exascale Simulation of Combustion in Turbulence (ExaCT) held its biannual all-hands meeting at the CRF. The meeting was attended by computer scientists, applied mathematicians and computational combustion scientists from ExaCT, and high-performance computing (HPC) vendors and computer scientists associated with DOE’s X-Stack program (aimed at developing programming environments for…
