What is PSAAP?
For additional information:- Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program
- Primary Goal: is to establish validated, large‐scale, multi‐disciplinary, simulation‐based “Predictive Science” as a major academic, applied research program
- Predictive Science: Application of verified and validated computational simulations to predict properties and dynamics of complex systems
- Collaborations with universities involve training, recruiting, and working with top researchers in key disciplines required by stockpile stewardship
- Engage U.S. academic community in making significant advances in predictive modeling and simulation technologies
- Hydrodynamics
- Turbulence
- Particle & Radiation Transport
- Reactive & Energetic Materials
- Chemical transformations
- Combustion
- Solid‐solid phase transitions
- Plastic flow
- Shock‐assisted and shock‐induced reactions
- Equations of state and constitutive properties
- Material damage and failure
- Material stability
- Novel materials
- Nuclear properties
- Design of experiments for validation, including surrogate materials and environments
- Engineering mechanics and design
- Molecular dynamics
