RIKEN Center for Computational Science Complex Phenomena Unified Simulation Research Team
Team Leader: Makoto Tsubokura (Ph.D.)
Research Summary
When we look into complex flow phenomena observed in natural environment or manufacturing processes, they are sometimes relating to and coupled with structure deformation, heat transfer, electromagnetic field or chemical reaction. While each simulation method has been optimized to such a specific phenomenon, increasing attention is now paid to such complex phenomena governed by multiple governing equations. The problem of coupled simulation by combining existing different simulation methods is it is very difficult to utilize efficiently rapidly-growing computational environment. The objective of our team is to develop a unified simulation method for the complex phenomena with multiple time and space scales simultaneously by effectively utilizing massively parallel resources. We also provide tools or algorithm relating to the unified simulation to support supercomputer uses for their programming and usage environment.
