ASC Program Elements
Physics and Engineering Models
This sub-program develops microscopic and macroscopic models of physics and material properties, as well as improved numerical approximations to the simulation of transport for particles and x-rays and other critical phenomena. This sub-program is responsible for the development, the initial validation, and the incorporation of new models into the Integrated Codes; therefore, it is essential that both sub-programs be interdependent. There is also extensive integration with the SSP experimental programs, mostly funded and managed by the Science Campaigns such as Dynamic Materials Properties, and the Engineering Campaign. Functional requirements for this sub-program are established by designers and analysts.
