2008 · 74907 — Ann Arbor MI: University of Michigan Center for Radiative Shock Hydrodynamics CRASH 2008. Presumed First Edition of this CD. CD. Very good. This disc approximately 4.5 inches in diameter has 12 pdf files including PDT Scaling Dimensional Reduction Experiment & Hyades Models Design and other topics including input from students. The Center for Radiative Shock Hydrodynamics CRASH is advancing predictive science in the area of radiation hydrodynamics RH via a unified multi-prong approach. To substantially improve the ability to do predictive simulations of high - energy - density and astrophysical flows Center researchers are: Developing a software framework for RH to serve as a testbed for development verification and validation of RH modeling elements. Developing a system for hierarchically validating the software framework. Extending an existing experimental effort centered on radiative shocks to obtain data and quantify uncertainties in the experiments. Simulating these experiments and quantifying the accuracy of the simulations. Establishing a doctoral program for Predictive Science and Engineering. The CRASH team comprised of researchers from the University of Michigan and Texas A&M University are experts in: Numerical methods for fluids plasmas and radiation transport; Uncertainty quantification and propagation; High - energy - density physics experiments and theory; Applied mathematics; Software engineering and computer science; Parallelization of radiation transport algorithms. The potential impacts of the project include NNSA lab use of advanced methods in radiation hydrodynamic simulations and methods for uncertainty quantification developed in the Center and the hiring by the laboratories of people trained in predictive radiation hydrodynamics through the Center.
