Clefs CEA n°47 - Research and simulation

Clockwise from the top:

Computation, with the Cronos2 software program from CEA‘s Saphyr system, of the fine structure of the thermal flux at the interface of uranium and MOX fuel assemblies in a water-cooled reactor, close to a reflector.

CEA/DEN/SAC/DM2S/SERMA

Three-dimensional structure of transferrin with, at center, shown as rods, the amino acids (carbon atoms shown in green, nitrogen in blue and oxygen in red) involved in complexation of iron (orange). The remainder of the protein is shown in a ribbon representation, with a helices (red and yellow) and b sheets (blue arrows). The complexation site is in the hinge region of the protein that permits the site to open and close, thus explaining the mechanism of iron complexation and release.

David Rinaldo (CEA-CNRS-UJF/IBS/Molecular Dynamics Laboratory)

Molecular-dynamics simulation of the joining of dislocations in a material under the impact of irradiation-induced atom-displacement cascades. White spheres represent the atoms materializing the two dislocations and their junction; orange, green and red spheres represent irradiation-induced defects - vacancies, interstitials and displaced atoms respectively.

CEA/DEN/DECM/SRMP/N. V. Doan

An operator moves in a 3D environment rendered by the Phare platform and displayed by a stereoscopic visualization system comprising two work surfaces (wall and floor) and stereoscopic retroprojectors.

F. Vigouroux/CEA/List

3D simulation carried out with the Tera supercomputer, set up at the end of 2001 at CEA‘s DAM-Ile de France Center, at Bruyères-le-Châtel (Essonne département).
