SUMMARY

This technical note outlines the MICE/MEGS/MELT - SCENARIOPlasma Outputs Interface specification, Version 1.031.

High-altitude nuclear phenomenology codes at the first-principles level (MICE/MEGS/MELT codes) and at the engineering-level(SCENARIO multiburst code) generate computer files which contain avariety of descriptors of the disturbed environment resulting from high-altitude nuclear detonations. Efficient and interchangeable use ofresults from thes- codes requires a common interface specification withsufficient generality to permit an end-user to accommodate basicdifferences between the codes and their outputs. This documentrepresents the latest version of the standard file format. Publicationcoincides with distribution of SCENARIO, Version 4.0, which utilizes thisInterface.

SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

This document describes a revised Standard Plasma OutputsInterface format which is common to the SCENARIO, MICE/MEGS/MELT familyof nuclear phenomenology codes sponsored by the Defense Nuclear Agency.The purpose of a standardized format is to enable easy transfer ofinformation between nuclear phenomenology codes and post-processor /end-user codes.

In this context, post-processor codes augment basicenvironmental descriptors produced by the original phenomenologysimulation, be it from SCENARIO or MICE/MELT. End-user codes typicallyuse basic and/or post-processor-augmented phenomenology outputs tocompute system performance parameters for operation in a nuclearenvironment.

For example, the PRPSIM post-processor code' directly usesnuclear phenomenology code outputs (e.g., SCENARIO or MICE/MELT results)to provide performance parameters associated with radio frequencycommunication links. An alternative operating mode directs basicphenomenology outputs (in Standard Format) to an intermediatepost-processor. The intermediate post-processor i) calculates additionalphenomenological quantities (e.g., structure descriptors such as outerscale, freezing scale, and spectral indices associated with a powerspectral density) and ii) writes in Standard Format the originaldescription of the burst-disturbed environment plus its additionalquantities. Because the Standard Format is preserved in the process,PRPSIM and other post-processor / end-user codes can read and process theaugmented file as well.

Although basic objectives of the Standard Plasma OutputsInterface had been accomplished by earlier versions of the format, recentsystems requirements for additional phenomenology information, coupledwith improved capabilities for predicting underlying nuclear bursteffects, have forced revision.

Older versions of the format made allowances for futureextension to include information about infrared environments from nuclearbursts. However, the infrared problem has proven sufficiently complexthat it is desirable to separate MHD/plasma descriptors (electrondensity, ion species densities, neutral species densities, velocities,etc.) from information about infrared environments. The word "plasma"has been inserted into the title of this interface specification toemphasize the separation. A parallel document describes the standardized

Page 11: Approved for public release; 11990 · I CERTIFICATION OF NFED-TO-KNOW BY GOVERNMENT SPONSOR (if other than DNA): ... UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED SAP NSN 754001 280-5500

format for infrared information.2

In many areas, organization of the Interface has been preservedwithout change. To accommodate new approaches to plasma structuremodeling and extended descriptions of the power-spectral-density ofplasma irregularities, a variety of changes to the record structure ofthe Standard Plasma Outputs Interface have been made. Theserearrangements were motivated by DNA requirements plus a desire tominimize future changes as structure specifications become more refined.

To integrate new structure information into the Interface,structure parameters have been moved to a new location within theEnvironment Tube Records. (Note: terminology is summarized in theGlossary.) Environment Tube Records hold environmental descriptors(electron density, velocity, temperature, etc.) on a cell by cell basis.The new arrangement situates structure descriptors for ionized materialin a new set of (optional) cell quantities located immediately after the"usual" quantities in the Environment Tube Records. Structure quantitiesare optional since not all high-altitude simulations will generatestructure information. The presence or absence of these quantities isindicated by the value of the ISTRIR parameter in the Header Record. Thenumber of structure quantities per cell, NSTRQ, is also a new parameterin the Header Record.

Another change of note involves addition of neutral fluidvelocity information to the Environment Tube Records. This was done toprovide a basis for post-processing with structure modeling techniqueswhich use the differential velocity (slip velocity) between theion-electron plasma and the neutral fluid.

Users of this Interface should pay particular attention toordering and content of the revised Environment Tube Records. Revisionsdiscussed above have forced a number of significant changes. Each hasbeen flagged by an asterisk (*) in the margin. A few typographicalerrors from earlier versions of the Outputs Interface specification havealso been repaired.

SECTION 2

INTERFACE SPECIFICATION

Numerical outputs from MICE/MELT or SCENARIO phenomenologysimulations are generated at specific simulation times selected by theoperator of the code. Information written to the program's output fileis grouped into discrete clusters of records. Each cluster representsenvironmental conditions at a particular phase in the simulation. Forpurposes of discussion below, each cluster of records will be termed acode output block. In the phenomenology community, code output blocksare sometimes called "dumps" or "write-outs".

It is important to recognize that within an output file for asimulation, any code output block may differ in important ways from othercode output blocks (i.e., other simulation times). For example, changesto comp.utational grids might occur during a simulation, altering numbers,locations, and dimensions of computational cells. Changes of this sortcould be triggered by a need to alter grid resolution as the simulationevolves. Numerous other shifts of basic simulation parameters arepossible. The message: one cannot assume basic simulation parametersremain constant. The Header Record for each code output block shouldalways be read.

The sub-sections which follow detail the structure of anindividual block of code output. The sub-sections are organized toreflect the sequential record structure found in actual code output.FORTRAN syntax is used for mathematical expressions. FORTRAN namingconventions for distinguishing Real variables from Integers are followed.

(IBETA,JPHI,KTUBE,((CQBUFF(NQ,NC,NT),NQ=I,NQPCEL), NC=1,JMXA), NT=1,NTBUFF) (*)

where:

IBETA = 8 index of environment tube.

JPHI = 0 index of environment tube.

KTUBE = Active environment tube index.0 = Inactive environment tube (if written).n = Active environment tube index as in

IMAP(IBETA,JPHI).

CQBUFF = Array used to read cell quantities in environmenttubes. Each tube record holds cell quantities forone or more complete environment tubes. No partialtubes are written. The number of complete tubes ina full buffer is the integer

NBUFF/(NQPCEL*JMXA+3) (*)

The first CQBUFF index runs over cell quantities:1 5 NQ 5 NQPCEL

The second CQBUFF index runs over cells in oneenvironment tube:

1 : NC 5 JMXA

The third CQBUFF index runs over environment tubes:1 : NT : NTBUFF

NOTE: For NTBUFF > 1, the last Environment TubeRecord will generally contain fewer than NTBUFFtubes. This occurs because the total number oftubes may not be an integer multiple of NTBUFF.

CQBUFF(],NC,NT) = Cell index (real variable) which runs overall cells (active plus inactive) in grid.This index is

NC + JMXA * ( IBETA-1 + JMXB * ( JPHI-1 ))

APPENDIX

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Active Environment Tube: See "Environment Tube".

Aligned a Array: Boundaries between cells along the a directionwithin an environment tube (magnetic flux tube)are contiguous with a boundaries in adjacenttubes. Consequently, a cell boundaries formcontinuous grid surfaces which are everywhereperpendicular to B. See also "Staggered a Array".

Code Output Block: A cluster of records within a file which describethe environment at a specified output time in anuclear burst simulation. Sections 2.1 through2.7 describe the contents of a code output block.Different code output blocks describe conditionsat different times or under differentcircumstances. Also referred to as an OutputBlock.

Environment Tube: For output purposes, computational cells alignedwith a selected coordinate direction have beengrouped in linear arrays. Each linear array canbe thought of as a "tube" of cells. Collectivelyall of the environment tubes in a code outputblock completely cover the three-dimensionalcomputational volume (subject to symmetryrestrictions - see "Grid Symmetry").

Environment tubes from MEGS, MELT, and SCENARIOare aligned with the ambient geomagnetic fieldand, thus, constitute magnetic flux tubes. Eachcell in this type of environment tube contains anequal amount of magnetic flux, so the cross-sectional area of cells varies inversely with B.

Environment tubes from MICE are oriented alongradial lines from the center of the earth.Consequently their cross-sectional area varies asI/R2 .

Historically, environment tubes have been known as"sticks", "tubes", "flux tubes", "plasma tubes",

or "columns" depending on context. Environmenttubes may come in two varieties - active andinactive. Active tubes contain cell quantitieswhich deviate from ambient due to the action ofnuclear explosions. Inactive tubes contain onlyambient atmospheric densities, temperatures, etc.

Grid Symmetry: No symmetry implies the complete three-dimensionalgrid is provided in the code output block.

Magnetic east-west reflection symmetry meansreflection symmetry about the vertical magneticmeridian plane through the center of thecomputational volume was imposed on thesimulation. In this case, only the half-spaceused for computation has been written out in thecode output block.

Magnetic north-south reflection symmetry issimilar to east-west reflection symmetry exceptthe vertical reflecting plane is orientedeast-west. In MEGS, MELT, and SCENARIO, thereflection plane is the magnetic equator. InMICE, the reflection plane occurs at X = 0.

High-0 Plasma: Plasma with energy density well above the magneticenergy density. Plasma f is the ratio of plasmaenergy density to magnetic energy density. Eitherplasma thermal energy density or the sum ofthermal + kinetic energy densities is commonlyused in computing plasma p. Plasma 0 should notbe confused with the p coordinate (geomagneticdipole-field-aligned coordinates used in MELT,MEGS, and SCENARIO).

High/Low Area Ratio: Ratio of transverse-to-B areas occupied by Highand Low ne's within a computational cell. SeeReference 4 and "High ne", "Low ne".

High ne: Larger of two electron densities assumed byStagat's two-level closure relation in StriationConvection theory. See Reference 4.

Inactive Environment Tube: See "Environment Tube".

Low ne: Smaller of two electron densities assumed byStagat's two-level closure relation in StriationConvection theory. See Reference 4.

MEGS: A first-principles, three-dimensional, two-fluidmagnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code for computingevolution of high-p plasma. MEGS is similar toMICE in using detailed two-fluid MHD equations totreat high-p plasma; the code is similar to MELTin using a global-scale geomagnetic dipole-field-aligned coordinate system. The name MEGSderives from MHD Extended to Global Scale.

MELT: A first-principles, three-dimensional, two-fluidmagnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code for computingevolution of low-p plasma. MELT's use of ageomagnetic dipole-field-aligned coordinate systempermits tracking of air plasma (generated byhigh-altitude nuclear explosions) over global-scale distances. Two-fluid equations like thosein MICE are used to represent physical processes.However, following the assumption of low-A plasma,MELT treats the geomagnetic field as ambient.Plasma transport across the geomagnetic field isvia E x B drift where E is a self-consistent,spatially and temporally varying electrostaticfield. The name MELT derives from Mixed Eulerianjagrangian Iwo-fluid.

MICE: A first-principles, three-dimensional, two-fluidmagnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code for computingevolution of high-p plasma. MICE uses aspecialized geocentric spherical coordinate systemto compute the dynamics of interpenetratingneutral and ion-electron fluids. Collisions atthe atomic level transfer momentum and energybetween fluids. Chemical reactions convertspecies of one fluid to the other, as appropriate.Maxwell's Equations are the basis for computingspatially and temporally varying electromagneticfields. The name MICE derives from MHD ImplicitContinuous Eulerian.

he: Electron density.

Output Block: See "Code Output Block".

Regrid: The act of transferring information (i.e., cellquantities) carried on one computational grid toanother. For example, one may be motivated toregrid a computation into a larger grid when theedge of an expanding fireball approaches theexisting grid's boundaries. Sometimes called a"rezone".

SCENARIO: A physics-based, engineering-level atmosphericeffects code designed specifically to simulatemultiple high-altitude nuclear detonations.Credibility of code outputs combined withcomputational speed derives from use in SCENARIOof truncated forms of the same three-dimensional,two-fluid magnetohydrodynamics equations used inMICE and MELT. SCENARIO is available to qualifiedusers under License from the Defense NuclearAgency.

Staggered a Array: Boundaries between cells along the a directionwithin an environment tube (magnetic flux tube)are not contiguous or aligned with a boundaries inadjacent tubes. Consequently, a cell boundariesdo not form continuous grid surfaces. See also"Aligned a Array".

an: Standard deviation of electron density; i.e.,square root of electron density variance. See"Striation Convection".

Striation Convection: Computational algorithm for estimating electrondensity variance (an2) produced by the GradientDrift Instability. A specialized algorithm isrequired because phenomenology codes cannotcompute fine-scale plasma irregularities(striations with scale sizes as small as - 100 m)and simultaneously span the widespread volume

which is disturbed by even one nuclear burst(i.e., hundreds to thousands of kilometers inextent). In the context of plasma structure,striation convection is sometimes referred tosimply as "convection". See Reference 4.
