The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DoE/NNSA) recently announced that it has selected MIT to establish a new research center dedicated to advancing the predictive simulation of extreme environments, such as those encountered in hypersonic flight and atmospheric re-entry. The center will be part of the fourth phase of NNSA’s Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP-IV), which supports frontier research advancing the predictive capabilities of high-performance computing for open science and engineering applications relevant to national security mission spaces.The Center for the Exascale Simulation of Coupled High-Enthalpy Fluid–Solid Interactions…
