ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy
The mission of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division (NNPD) is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology while simultaneously preventing the diversion and misuse of nuclear material and technology through appropriate safeguards and security, and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation policies. To achieve this mission, the objectives of the NNPD are to: Promote policy that discourages the proliferation of nuclear technology and material to inappropriate entities. Provide information to ANS members, the technical community at large, opinion leaders, and decision makers to improve their understanding of nuclear nonproliferation issues. Become a recognized technical resource on nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and security issues. Serve as the integration and coordination body for nuclear nonproliferation activities for the ANS. Work cooperatively with other ANS divisions to achieve these objective nonproliferation policies.

Nek5000 is an open-source, highly scalable, high-order, spectral-element-based computational fluid dynamics code. It combines the accuracy of spectral methods with the flexibility of the finite element method. It has been used for a wide range of applications in nuclear energy. It has the capabilities to perform DNS, LES, and unsteady RANS simulations using either an incompressible or low-Mach model. Its high-fidelity capability with the LES model has been well documented with consistent strong performance in international benchmarks. This tutorial will guide users in downloading and compiling Nek5000 as well as setting up and running a simple case.
In order to follow along, attendees should have access to a computer with a Unix based operating system and basic familiarity with using the terminal along with compatible FORTRAN 77 and C compilers installed with a working MPI wrapper. Either ParaView (paraview.org) or VisIt is necessary for visualization of results. We strongly recommend that attendees are familiar with either tool and have one installed prior to the workshop.
