Multiscale, Multiphysics Simulation Through Application Composition Using MOOSE - Derek Gaston

Presenter: Derek Gaston (Chief Computational Scientist, Idaho National Laboratory)

Abstract:

Eight years ago, at the PETSc 20 meeting, I introduced the idea of “Simplifying Multiphysics Through Application Composition” – the idea that physics applications can be built in such a way that they can instantly be combined to tackle complicated multiphysics problems. This talk will serve as an update on those plans. I will detail the evolution of that idea, how we’re using it in practice, how well it’s working, and where we’re going next. Motivating examples will be drawn from nuclear engineering, and practical aspects, such as testing, will be explored.
