This research involves the development of multidisciplinary computational approaches on high-performance computers to address challenges in simulating practical Army applications. The topics include:

• computational methods for interdisciplinary applications (e.g., structure-medium interaction and Eulerian-Lagrangian).
• multiscale computational approaches (e.g., macro-meso-micro approaches and approaches based on wavelets).
• scalable equation solvers for a wide class of nonlinear problems.
• scalable methodologies for computational mechanics including penetration and fragmentation.
• scalable grid generation and image based numerical techniques.
• data mining for scientific applications.
• visualization of large data sets.
• innovative approaches for validation of large-scale scientific applications.
