PI Name: Andrey Beresnyak, Naval Research Laboratory Allocation Program: 2017 INCITE Research Domain: Physics Magnetic reconnection is a topological rearrangement of magnetic field lines, leading to the release of magnetic energy, often associated with solar X-ray flares. One of the key questions dogging this field of study revolves around the reconnection rate, the velocity at which
PI Name: Sean Couch, Michigan State University Allocation Program: 2017 INCITE Research Domain: Physics The process by which core-collapse supernovae (CCSN) are produced drives the development of the heavier elements, which are distributed throughout the universe after a massive star explodes under its own weight. Project researchers will conduct a comprehensive study of the mechanisms

Bolotnov, North Carolina State University The water is utilized as both coolant and neutron moderator in light water nuclear reactors (LWRs), where the vapor-water two-phase flow plays an crucial role in both reactor economics/efficiency and safety. However, due to the related extreme operation conditions and
