  5. Approach • Large-scale 3D simulations: • Fully compressible MHD equations • Inelastic approximation • Realistic thermodynamics • Radiative energy transport • Data assimilation and Inverse Modeling

  6. Tools • Fully compressible MHD equations • Three-Dimensional code (TVD scheme) with realistic equation of state (S. Ustyugov) • High order finite difference LES code with MHD, real gas, radiation and subgrid scale models (A. Wray) • Initiated contact with R. Stein (MSU)

  7. Tools • Inelastic approximation • Slab geometry with SGS model (M. Kirkpatrick) • Initiated collaboration with Colorado Research Ass./UC Boulder/Stanford U./ARC Spherical Code+LES

  8. Resources • NASA Supercomputing facility: • SGI 1,024-processor Origin 3000 • SGI 512-processor Origin 3000 • SGI 256-processor Origin • 32-processor Cray SV1e • SGI and Sun workstations • 600 terabytes online/nearline data storage • Stanford SDO/HMI group

  9. SIMULATION Development plan • Compressible MHD: • Implement SGS and radiation models into the Stein/Nordland code • Data Assimilation • Name the Code and make it available as a Community code under CCMC (Community Coordinated Modeling Center)

  10. SIMULATION Development plan • Inelastic Code: • (ASH & HYPE) + SGS • Data Assimilation • Make codes available under CCMC

  11. Development plan • Using data to develop understanding/models • Inverse Modeling ? UiUj

  12. Collaborations • Sasha Kosovichev (SDO/HMI) [GURU] • Center for Turbulence Research • Alan Wray • Michael Rogers • Sergey Ustyugov • Robert Stein (MSU) • Colorado Research Ass.: • M. Miesch • J. Werne • T. Lund • K. Julien ( U. Colorado Boulder)

  13. Requirements • Support for the scientific teams: • CS under full cost accounting • University/Industry science • Support of High-End Computing by NASA: • Compute cycles • Formulate IT requirements: • Grid • Viz. tools • Analyses tools
