Title: Simulation Science: The Modeling of Real-World Problems
Abstract
The solution of real-world computational science and engineering
problems requires a knowledge of the application domain, sufficient
mathematical sophistication to numerically model the problem through
simulation, a breadth of knowledge in high-performance computing
techniques to solve the simulation on available hardware, and a
familiarity with post-processing and visualization techniques for making
sense of the torrent of data produced by your simulation. Simulation
science is precisely this endeavor --- the synergy of many different
areas so as to solve large real-world problems through computational
simulation. In this talk, I will discuss my efforts at accomplishing
simulation science. Specifically, I will discuss my work on the use of
high-order numerical methods combined with high-performance computing
for solving problems in computational fluid dynamics, computational
mechanics, fluid-structure interaction and computational biology.
