NETL researchers are applying the Lab’s advanced computer modeling capabilities toward research that could usher in an untapped energy source through nuclear fusion rather than traditional nuclear fission reactions.

NETL Unveils Latest Multiphase Flow Software Upgrade To Help Expand American Energy

NETL has released the latest version of its award-winning Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges (MFiX) — a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software suite designed to shorten the time and reduce the cost associated with developing new power generation technologies.

NETL Welcomes Summer Interns To Help Build Talent Pipeline

NETL Morgantown summer interns and mentors

NETL is hosting 52 summer participants in four internship and fellowship programs at its research sites in Albany, Oregon; Morgantown, West Virginia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

NETL’s Computational Science & Engineering Center Is Under Construction

Rendering of NETL’s new Computational Science and Engineering Center.

Construction is underway on NETL’s Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) Center in Morgantown, West Virginia — a state-of-the-art facility for advanced data and computing solutions related to applied energy challenges.

NETL Develops AI-Powered Data Anonymization Tool: Strengthening Research Partnerships Through Responsible Applied Energy Data Use

GISA’s development highlights NETL’s commitment to addressing the nation’s energy, economic, and environmental challenges, with a focus on building a sustainable future for all Americans.

Access to data is essential for research and development. Higher quality data result in higher quality research, but when those data contain sensitive or proprietary information, they might be omitted from public products to protect sensitive locations, innovative plans and proprietary elements of important databases and analyses.

NETL Demonstrates High-Performance Computing Capability on Nation’s First Exascale Machine

NETL’s Jordan Musser examines multiphase flow within a reactor using the Lab’s Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges (MFiX) code.

NETL researchers reached a high-performance computing (HPC) milestone, running advanced energy modeling code on the world’s first exascale supercomputer — a powerful new class of computing systems capable of ushering in a new era of precision, fidelity and reliability for simulation-based engineering.

NETL Study Reveals New Biological and Chemical Insights of Bakken Shale Formation

NETL researchers take basic measurements on site near the wellheads and prepare samples for microbiology analysis when back at the Lab.

A first-of-its-kind NETL research project involving the Bakken Shale has shown that a one-size-fits-all approach to understanding the subsurface and overcoming well site operational and water management challenges doesn’t necessarily apply. This is due to the often variable chemical and biological dynamics present at fossil fuel well sites.

NETL Contributes to Exascale Computing Project That Earns DOE Achievement Award

NETL contributed to the success of the Exascale Computing Project (ECP), which earned an Achievement Award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
