Wagner Research Group

Our group is interested in the development and application of computer simulation methods “at the interfaces” – problems where multiple length scales, multiple domains, or multiple physical phenomena meet. For example, fluid flows around moving or deformable structures, material behavior spanning atomic to continuum scales, and phase changes in manufacturing simulations include all the challenges of each individual domain, but the couplings between multiple phenomena bring additional issues of stability, accuracy, and computational efficiency. Our goal is to shape the next generation of computational methods for simulations of these complex engineering problems on high-performance computers.
