We are a computational group strengthening the science base in support of several communities' efforts by developing and providing access to our continually-validated code, TriForce.
Our simulation tool encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration between students and scientists in astrophysics, plasma, geoscience, atmospheric chemistry, computer science, and others.
TriForce is a C++ framework for open-source massively-parallel 3D particle-based hybrid fluid-kinetic multiphysics simulations.
The code recovers results from both radiation-magnetohydrodynamic and fully kinetic codes, and is designed to operate in between where both descriptions may co-exist and interact.
The hybrid method enables capabilities beyond either of the individual modeling methods alone, and is being used to investigate a range of topics in fields such as controlled thermonuclear fusion, astrophysics, high-energy-density physics, and high-intensity lasers.
We collaborate with experimentalists and theorists in order to design, execute, analyze, and interpret results from experiments conducted at the nation's three flagship high-energy-density physics facilities: the OMEGA laser at the University of Rochester, the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Z Machine at Sandia National Laboratories.
The goal of the TriForce Institute for Multiphysics Modeling is to provide better predictive capability and access to advanced models for the benefit of the whole community.
