Center of Mixing Under Extreme Conditions

COMUEX

The Center of Mixing Under Extreme Conditions (COMUEX) has the following goals:

  • To lead the Laboratory in its diverse activities in the areas concerning mix and turbulence under extreme conditions as related to stockpile stewardship, weapons, ICF, astrophysics, combustion, and any other LANL/national application in a manner that promotes practical and scientifically defensible results.
  • To lead the Laboratory in the conclusion of the appropriate predictive capability framework (PCF) and National Boost Initiative (NBI) plans through 2020.
  • To support interests in predictive science, experimental investigations and discovery, and theoretical studies.
  • To create a decadal study document to establish our goals and philosophies and, in the future, document our achievements.
  • To provide a forum (internal and external) for the scientific discussion of the multiple viewpoints pertaining to the subject(s); experiments, theory and modeling.
  • To formalize a LANL international lead in and the development of a new paradigm for extreme science and physics that underlies material mixing.
