Project description
Modelling complex physical systems at multiple scales
Microstructures with particles of arbitrary shape can create astonishing physical phenomena. Numerical simulation offers scientists the potential to better understand and control these physical systems. However, the computational capability to simulate their complex interplay of effects at many non-separable or even a continuum of characteristic scales exceeds current computing resources by multiple orders of magnitude. Modelling physical phenomena at multiple scales requires a new generation of computational methods that accounts for randomness and disorder in a hierarchical and adaptive fashion. In seeking such a paradigm, the EU-funded RandomMultiScales project aims to design efficient numerical analysis methods to study such multiscale problems. The research conducted is at the intersection between uncertainty quantification and computational physics.
