Awards: THE PSAAP III MULTI-DISCIPLINARY SIMULATION CENTER (CENTER FOR PREDICTIVE ENGINEERING AND COMPUTATIONAL
SCIENCE, OR PECOS) AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN WILL BE ORGANIZED AS PART OF THE
ODEN INSTITUTE FOR COMPUTATIONAL ENGINEERING AND SCIENCES. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES OF THE CENTER
ARE TO:
1. DEVELOP AN ADVANCED INTEGRATED PREDICTIVE COMPUTATIONAL MODEL FOR AN INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED
PLASMA (ICP) TORCH, AND USE IT TO PREDICT EXIT PLASMA PROPERTIES AND STABLE OPERATING CONDITIONS;
2. DEVELOP ADVANCED ALGORITHMS AND PERFORMANCE PORTABLE PROGRAMMING TOOLS TO ENABLE EFFECTIVE
USE OF EMERGING EXASCALE COMPUTING HARDWARE, AND APPLY THEM TO THE SIMULATION OF THE ICP
TORCH;
3. DEVELOP AND APPLY ADVANCED VERIFICATION, VALIDATION AND UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION TOOLS FOR
THE ICP TORCH, INCLUDING ACQUISITION OF THE REQUIRED EXPERIMENTAL DATA; AND,
4. ENABLE SCIENTISTS AT THE NNSA LABORATORIES TO BENEFIT FROM THESE DEVELOPMENTS., G3920443457
