Higher-Order Common Platform for complex Multi-Physics Computation

"HyPerComp in collaboration with Prof. Stan Osher of UCLA/Level Set Systems proposes to start with a computational electromagnetics (CEM) environment (TEMPUS - Time-Domain EM Parallel Unstructured Simulator) funded by DARPA under its VirtualElectromagnetics Testrange (VET) initiative, which employs an unstructured grid-based discontinuous Galerkin (DG) higher order method, and extend the framework as a common platform to incorporate multidisciplinary physics (higher order accurate solvers forCFD, CEM and MHD/MGD) of interest to aerospace applications. A successful demonstration and implementation of a user-friendly, modular, multidisciplinary simulation tool set for large-scale aerospace propulsion applications will have high payoff in othersimulations dealing with commercial products in oil exploration, automobile simulations, medical applications involving biofluids, bioEM and imaging, thermal modeling of high-speed integrated circuits and high power motors, and computational manufacturingsuch as welding and casting."
