Emphasis is placed on the use of modern numerical and computational techniques to solve problems.
Examples include the use of CASC developed linear and non-linear solvers in Laboratory programmatic codes used to solve radiation transport, fluid dynamics, various types of particle transport, and multi physics systems. Group members contribute to efforts in defense technology, climate modeling, materials science, astrophysics, engineering design, computational performance, and others. Computational Physics Group members deal with an extremely broad variety of problems. The bottom line for us is to solve scientific problems by combining understanding of physical systems with good code design, appropriate algorithms, and efficient implementations, typically on parallel computers. Our research is usually motivated by consideration of issues that arise from real-world situations.
