9805563 Layton This Americas Program award will fund a cooperative research project between Dr. William Layton, University of Pittsburgh, and Dr. Nando L. Troyano DiBartolomeo, Universidad de Oriente, Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. The focus of the project is to develop increasingly sophisticated electro-thermal cell models and finite element codes for the simulation of aluminum reduction cells (ARC). The increasing speed and storage capacity of massively parallel computers and clusters will play an important role in this effort, as will also improved algorithms in (ARC) computations. The goal of the project is to develop and to implement in computer codes state-of-the-art methods for simulating the physics of ARC. The program would provide a needed research tool for efforts to increase the safety and energy efficiency of aluminum production. The updated models and codes will be made available to university and industrial experts in the field in the US and Venezuela. The development of increasingly sophisticated electro- thermal cell models and finite element codes for their simulation should be of interest to major aluminum producing countries such as the US and Venezuela. Results of the best runs of the research code as well as the code itself will be made available to US and Venezuelan industrial research groups. ***

9805563 Layton该Americas计划奖将资助William Layton博士，匹兹堡大学和Nando L. Troyano Dibartolomeo博士之间的合作研究项目，委内瑞拉，波多黎各La Cruz。 该项目的重点是开发越来越复杂的电热细胞模型和有限元代码，以模拟铝还原细胞（ARC）。 大量平行的计算机和簇的速度和存储容量的提高将在这项工作中发挥重要作用，这也将改善（ARC）计算中的算法。 该项目的目的是在计算机代码中开发和实施，以模拟ARC物理的最先进方法。 该计划将为提高铝生产的安全性和能源效率而努力提供必要的研究工具。 更新的模型和代码将提供给美国和委内瑞拉该领域的大学和工业专家。 越来越复杂的电细胞模型的开发以及其模拟的有限元代码应该引起美国和委内瑞拉等主要铝生产国家的关注。 我们和委内瑞拉工业研究小组的研究法规最佳运行以及该守则本身的结果。 ***
