Dr. Wei Wang\, who is a Chief Scientist in Energy Processes & Materials Division at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory\, will present his research on “Redox Flow Batteries As Candidates For Large-Scale Energy Storage”.  Please try to attend this seminar should your schedule permits and encourage your students to attend. \n  \nTitle: Redox Flow Batteries As Candidates For Large-Scale Energy Storage \n  \nAbstract \nRedox flow batteries (RFBs) are prominent candidates for large-scale energy storage because they offer high safety\, decoupling of power and energy\, long life \nspan\, quick response\, and potentially low cost. This talk will introduce this unique energy storage technology to the Tri-Cities community\, and provide an overview \non its working mechanism\, development history\, major components\, and the various chemistries used. The talk will also cover new redox flow technologies \ndeveloped at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. \nBio \nDr. Wei Wang is a chief scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). He is currently the technical lead of work in stationary energy storage research \nand development. He is interested in investigation of the synthesis–structure–performance relationship in energy-related materials\, and understanding \nthe underlying material chemistry and physics principles—particularly the development of new materials and novel energy technologies. Dr. Wang joined \nPNNL in 2009 after receiving his Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. \n  URL:https://tricities.wsu.edu/event/campus-guest-lecture-redox-flow-batteries-as-candidates-for-large-scale-energy-storage/ LOCATION:BSEL 103 ORGANIZER;CN="Yonas Demissie":MAILTO:y.demissie@tricity.wsu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190128T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190128T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T151101 CREATED:20190118T223125Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190118T223125Z UID:63303-1548676800-1548680400@tricities.wsu.edu SUMMARY:Strategic Planning Town Hall DESCRIPTION: URL:https://tricities.wsu.edu/event/strategic-planning-town-hall/ LOCATION:CIC 120\, 2710 University Dr\, Richland\, 99354\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Karina Barajas":MAILTO:karina.barajas@wsu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190128T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190128T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T151101 CREATED:20190118T234903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190118T234903Z UID:63311-1548676800-1548684000@tricities.wsu.edu SUMMARY:WSU Community Standards Info sessions DESCRIPTION: URL:https://tricities.wsu.edu/event/wsu-community-standards-info-sessions/ LOCATION:Floyd 224\, WA\, United States CATEGORIES:Calendar,Event,university ORGANIZER;CN="Jordyn Creighton":MAILTO:jordyn.creighton@wsu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190130T131500 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190130T143000 DTSTAMP:20260403T151101 CREATED:20190115T002135Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190124T022601Z UID:63201-1548854100-1548858600@tricities.wsu.edu SUMMARY:Professional Development Workshop Series presented by English Dept DESCRIPTION:1:15 – :2:30 P..m.\nProfessionalism and Workplace Expectations: Professional Development Workshop Series for Junior and Seniors presented by English Dept. \nThe workshop will have a panel of local professionals will discuss how to be a professional in an office environment\, including office etiquette and workplace expectations.\nWork shops are limited to 10-15 participants.

The PDE coefficient is represented as a log-normal random field\, with the corresponding\nGaussian part modeled as a zero-mean Gaussian process (GP) with appropriate covariance function. The\nreduction in uncertainty is achieved by conditioning the GP model on observations of the coefficient at a\nfew spatial locations. The resulting conditional GP model is then discretized using truncated Karhunen-\nLo`eve (KL) expansion and the stochastic solution of the PDE is computed using Monte Carlo and sparsegrid\ncollocation methods. Finally\, uncertainty in the system is further reduced by adaptively selecting\nadditional observation locations using two active learning criteria. The first criteria minimizes the\nvariance of the PDE coefficient\, while the second criteria employs approximately minimizes the variance\nof the solution of the PDE.\nBio\nThis talk will present a brief introduction to uncertainty quantification (UQ) quantification methods for\nhigh dimensional stochastic PDEs and introduce conditional Gaussian process (GP) models for uncertainty\nreduction.

The inlet flow is\ndescribed by fixed-in-time profiles of the circumferential and axial velocity together with a fixed azimuthal vorticity\,\nwhile the outlet flow is characterized by a state with zero radial velocity. A numerical algorithm based on the upwind\nfinite-difference method for the evolution of the circulation and azimuthal vorticity together with a Poisson solver for\nthe solution of the stream function in terms of the azimuthal vorticity is developed. The convergence of computed\nresults with mesh refinement is demonstrated. Moreover\, a mathematical analysis that is based on the Squire-Long\nequation (SLE) is formulated to identify steady-state solutions of the problem with special conditions to describe\nstates with separation zones. These solutions include the base columnar flow state\, a decelerated flow along the\ncenterline\, an accelerated flow along the centerline\, a vortex-breakdown state and a wall-separation state. The\nproblem is then reduced to the columnar (axially independent) SLE\, with centerline and wall conditions for the\nsolution of the outlet flow stream function. The numerical simulations realize the various flow states and show\ncorrelation between time-asymptotic states and steady states predicted according to the SLE and the columnar\nSLE problems. The simulations also shed light on the stability of the various steady states. Results show that pipe\ndivergence promotes the appearance of breakdown states at lower inlet swirl levels while pipe contraction delays\nthe appearance of vortex breakdown to higher swirl levels and promotes formation of wall-separation states. The\ninfluence of various inlet swirling flow profiles on the manifold of steady states in a straight\, finite-length pipe and\non flow dynamics is also investigated. Depending on the inlet profiles\, flows may first exhibit vortex breakdown while\nothers wall-separation states. \nMME Seminar_Flyer_Zhang_02.22.2019 URL:https://tricities.wsu.edu/event/mme-seminar-series-vortex-breakdown-and-wall-separation-states-in-swirling-flows-in-finite-length-pipes/ LOCATION:BSEL 102 CATEGORIES:academic,Calendar,Event,student,university ORGANIZER;CN="Changki Mo":MAILTO:changki.mo@wsu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190227T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190227T153000 DTSTAMP:20260403T151101 CREATED:20190220T173606Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190220T173606Z UID:64242-1551277800-1551281400@tricities.wsu.edu SUMMARY:Campus budget meeting #1 DESCRIPTION:Please make arrangements to attend one of the meetings to learn about the campus budget.  There are two scheduled meetings to choose from: \n  \nWednesday\, February 27\, from 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. at the East Auditorium\, 266 \n  \nThursday\, February 28\, from 11:00 – 12:00 p.m. at the East Auditorium\, 266 \n  \nHere’s a brief agenda for the session… \n\nshare our progress towards this year’s budget targets\,\nprovide a preview of next year’s budget outlook\,\ndescribe the budget calendar and development process we’ll be using\, and\nexplain how you will participate and stay informed along the way.\nThen\, stick around as Robin explains the numbers.

As society attempts to address the complex and interconnected problems of climate change\, we face a core problem: scientists have the knowledge\, but politicians and social institutions hold the power to exact meaningful solutions. Do climate scientists need to better understand the politics? Or should science stay true to itself and the process of climate change investigations?\nCome participate in a discussion with Drs Berger and Stephan on the roles\,\nresponsibilities\, and differences between policy and science in driving public\nperceptions about climate change.\nDr. Michael Berger is a Clinical Assistant Professor at WSU Vancouver who studies the impact of location and other environmental stressors on marine invertebrates.\nDr. Mark Stephan is an Associate Professor at WSU Vancouver whose research focuses on environmental governance around issues related to climate change policies at the sub-national level.

The algorithm induces no spatial\ndiscretization artificial diffusion\, relies on cubic and higher-degree elements for an accurate resolution\nof the steep shock gradients\, uses an implicit time integration for swift convergence to steady states\,\nand employs original Neumann-type outlet boundary conditions in the form of generalized Rankine\nHugoniot conditions on normal stress and balance of heat flux and deviatoric-stress work per unit time.\nThrough an innovative approach\, the formulation also calculates the shock extent\, which is an additional\nunknown\, and employs the single non dimensional (0\, 1) computational domain for the determination\nof any shock structure. The algorithm rapidly generates steady shock structures\, in at most 150 time\nsteps for any upstream Mach number considered in this study\, in the range 1.05 < M < 10.0. The finite\nelement discretization is shown to be asymptotically convergent under progressive grid refinements\, in\nrespect of both the H0 and H1 error norms\, with an H0 accuracy order as high as 6 and reduction of the\ndiscretization error to the round-off-error threshold of 1 x10-9 with just 420 computational cells and\n5th-degree elements. For any upstream Mach number\, the computational results are shown to satisfy the\nRankine–Hugoniot conditions\, an established requirement for solution reliability. \nMME Seminar_Flyer_Iannelli_03.01.2019 \n  URL:https://tricities.wsu.edu/event/mme-seminar-series-the-dynamics-and-thermodynamics-of-gas-dynamic-shock-waves/ LOCATION:BSEL 102 CATEGORIES:academic,Calendar,student,university ORGANIZER;CN="Changki Mo":MAILTO:changki.mo@wsu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190306T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190306T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T151101 CREATED:20190301T232320Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190301T233621Z UID:64511-1551870000-1551880800@tricities.wsu.edu SUMMARY:National TRIO Day DESCRIPTION:In honor of National TRIO Day\, TRIO Student Support Services is hosting a celebration event next Wednesday March 6\, 2019.  Leading up to and at the event we will be collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the WSUTC Cougar Cupboard.  In addition\, our students have been signing up for local volunteer opportunities such as tutoring support at the Family Learning Center\, providing workshops at the Kids Engineering Day at Jeffereson Elementary\, and offering mentorship for the Dream It\, Be It conference. \n  \nOverview of National TRIO Day: \n\nOn February 24\, 1986\, a congressional resolution (H. Con. Res. 278) declared that Saturday\, February 28\, 1986\, should be designated as “National TRIO Day” to commemorate the annual achievements of the Federal TRIO programs in communities across the country.\nEvery year since then\, our community has reserved the fourth Saturday in February as National TRIO Day — an opportunity to focus the nation’s “attention on the needs of disadvantaged young people and adults aspiring to improve their lives if they are to become contributing citizens of the country\, and to the talent which will be wasted if that investment is not made.”\nFor many programs\, National TRIO Day has become a tradition as it allows students who benefit from the TRIO programs and to give back to their local communities through acts of service.\n\n  \nPlease join us next week\, and bring a non-perishable food item\, in the Atrium beginning at 11:00 am as TRIO Student Support Services celebrates National TRIO Day.  There will be guest speakers from PNNL\, activities hosted by our students\, and light appetizers.  \n  URL:https://tricities.wsu.edu/event/national-trio-day-2/ LOCATION:Floyd Atrium\, 2710 University Dr\, Richland\, WA\, 99354\, United States CATEGORIES:Calendar,Event,student,university ORGANIZER;CN="Stassia Feltes":MAILTO:stassia.feltes@wsu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190306T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190306T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T151101 CREATED:20190301T194521Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190301T194521Z UID:64499-1551873600-1551877200@tricities.wsu.edu SUMMARY:RFO Spring General Assembly DESCRIPTION: URL:https://tricities.wsu.edu/event/rfo-spring-general-assembly/ LOCATION:CIC 125T\, 2710 University Dr\, Richland\, 99354\, United States CATEGORIES:Faculty Development ORGANIZER;CN="Robin Mays":MAILTO:robin.mays@wsu.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190307T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190307T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T151101 CREATED:20190221T171157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190221T171157Z UID:64253-1551974400-1551981600@tricities.wsu.edu SUMMARY:Picture Books and Social Justice-Diversity Lecture DESCRIPTION:Join award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh on March 7\, 4-5 p.m.\, to see his livestreamed presentation\, “Picture Books and Social Justice.” Tonatiuh will share some of his children’s books and talk about the role children’s literature can play in teaching our youth about social justice issues like immigration. The presentation is great for teachers\, social workers\, parents\, and anyone working in youth programming. \n  \nThis event will also be available via Global Campus\, https://connections.wsu.edu/events-calendar/picture-books-and-social-justice/ \n  URL:https://tricities.wsu.edu/event/picture-books-and-social-justice-diversity-lecture/ LOCATION:Floyd 243\, 2710 University Dr\, Richland\, 99354\, United States CATEGORIES:community,Featured event,student ORGANIZER;CN="Yuliya Ardasheva":MAILTO:yuliya.ardasheva@wsu.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
