Systems
Modeling and simulation for Systems span a number of domains including engineering, climate, and energy systems, building upon the component-level modeling. Examples of systems modeling and simulation include
- financial and risk assessment models to assist decision-makers by providing direct and indirect impacts from a potential threat
- characterization of stochastic dynamical systems and material response to loads (such as the behavior of buildings in response to climate and other drivers for estimating the potential for performance improvements)
- nuclear criticality safety, radiation transport, computational fluid dynamics, general heat transport, fuel and core designs, nuclear material transmutation and activation, fate and transport of radionuclides, and fuel failure simulation associated with nuclear reactors
- simulation for a detailed understanding of handling future waste streams and the associated schedule requirements
- understanding how energy systems operate in residential units, commercial buildings, large and complex multi-building facilities, and industrial settings
- simulation of power grid dynamic responses to various contingencies
- assessing the economic and geographic impacts of climate change mitigation policies and the deployment of specific technologies
- modeling options for geologic Carbon Capture and Sequestration at the national, regional, or sub-regional level
- modeling of mechanical systems for applications such as health monitoring and prognostics.
