Computational Modeling and High Performance Computing in Advanced Materials Processing, Synthesis, and Design

Abstract : Computational modeling and simulations involving STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines are highly interdisciplinary growing out of complex, challenging, multi-domain, multi-component and data intensive application needs of several disciplines and the need for high end computing hardware and software, algorithms and information driven technologies. The research efforts in this project focused on the synergistic coupling of: Computational material science and mechanics of hybrid and light weight polymeric composite structures. Computational multi-scale deformation behavior in metallic material systems. Computational enabling technologies of multi-scale flow simulation investigations with Lattice-Boltzmann equations and finite volume methods; physics based composite process flow. modeling in GPU systems; and probabilistic methods to understand uncertainties in deterministic composite processing flow models.
