XCP-4: Continuum Models and Numerical Methods

Developing advanced concepts for scientific computing

Providing comprehensive, cross-linked expertise for the development of scientific computing from conception through implementation and application

The Continuum Models and Numerical Methods (XCP-4) group focuses on developing advanced numerical methods for high-speed multimaterial flows and methods for turbulence and multicomponent reactive flows for national security applications.

Xcp 4 Featured Body   960x500
3D simulations of shock-driven compressible turbulent mixing using the xRAGE code.

Our research interests are diverse, and include:

  • High-order numerical methods for compressible flow
  • Scale bridging algorithms and adaptive refinement techniques
  • Numerical methods for fluid-structure interaction problems and interfacial flows
  • Physics models for multifluid/multiphase reactive flow
  • Turbulence models (RANS, LES, hybrid RANS-LES)
  • Models for detonation-to-deflagration transition and for detonation wave propagation in solid elasto-plastic porous medium
  • Development, implementation, and validation of solid mechanics models
