Academic Challenges in Large-Scale Multiphysics Simulations

Multiphysics simulations are increasingly playing a critical role in scientific and engineering applications. The complex and cross-disciplinary nature of such applications poses many challenges and opportunities in both research and education. In this paper we overview some of these research challenges, as well as an academic program designed to prepare students to meet them.
