Dynamic simulation of systems with large particle numbers
Large particle systems in the focus of science
With the help of numerical simulations, questions about material properties, biochemistry processes and chemical engineering can be answered. Due to complex and comprehensive data their use is only possible by means of efficient algorithms, coarsening and acceleration mechanisms, improved hardware and special visualization techniques.
Focus of the collaborative research center (SFB 716) is the development of dynamic simulation methods for systems with large particle numbers for use in industrial research and further development in future.
Synergies from different disciplines
Different institutes of the University of Stuttgart from fields of mechanical engineering, physics, biochemistry and computer science have joined forces within the SFB 716.
By connecting expertises from various engineering and scientific disciplines exiting concepts and tools can be combined and enhanced.
Research in 20 Subprojects
In the subprojects we want to find solutions for problems in different areas of science. Application areas for simulation of many-particle systems are for example:
Crack initiation in solids under mechanical and thermal loads
Subproject B.1
Behaviour of rock or concrete with a chisel operation
Subproject B.4
