Computational Simulation and Design Center

The SimCenter's mission is to serve Mississippi State University, government, and industry through research and development of advanced computational modeling, simulation, and design of physical systems to solve real world problems.

As a result of the SimCenter's application-driven team-oriented approach to basic and applied research on complex industrially-relevant engineering problems, they have:

• Improved overall vehicle performance and reduced design cycle time and cost.
• Generated critical knowledge on the behavior and capabilities of missiles, aircraft, engines, and other physical systems.
• Analyzed the behavior and performance of engineering systems under adverse or catastrophic conditions.
• Developed high-fidelity simulation tools and provided comprehensive training in their usage.

The SimCenter substantive areas of expertise include:

• High-resolution dynamic simulation of complex flow fields for real-world physical systems.
• Computational simulation software systems.
• Multi-disciplinary optimization and sensitivity analysis.
• Geometric modeling and high-quality grid generation for complex configurations.
• Data reduction, analysis, and visual presentation of computed flow fields.
• Computational Engineering education and training.
