Fundamentals and modelling tools

– Research Domain 1

Fundamentals and modelling tools_text

The centre will combine existing knowledge and new fundamental data in an easily accessible and user friendly library.

A principal purpose will be to work towards a generic, standardized framework for coupled scientific computing. Data from other RDs will be collected, systemized, and merged in the Centre library.

The general challenges are related to determination of the appropriate complexity of a model, to ensure proper understanding of its strengths and limitations, and to ensure that the RD 2-4 make use of the best available model technology. The specific modelling efforts will mainly be part of the work in these RDs, supervised by personnel from Research Domain 1.

Challenges

To ensure a proper overview of available models and identify knowledge gaps.
To couple modelling competence, metallurgical competence, and industrial experience.
To extend thermodynamic and kinetic databases to make calculations more reliable.
To build bridges between different model scales to understand observed phenomena
