Research Group Mission and Capabilities
We develop Theoretical and computational modeling for Theory of Inhomogeneous liquids, CFD, Molecular dynamics and problems related to applications of Statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.
Dr. Petsev has expertise in the area of charged colloids and interfaces, dynamics and stability of suspension and complex fluids. Dr. van Swol is an expert on statistical mechanics and advanced computational methods applied to problems related to basic material science. Drs. Petsev and van Swol have a history of successful research collaboration in the area of statistical mechanics, interfacial phenomena and materials. This collaboration has resulted in six journal publications on the dynamics of glass transitions in hard binary suspensions, charge effects on the transport in nanofluidic channels, and properties of semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces.
HPC Supercomputing Facilities
We work on multiscale modeling methods which need a lot of supercomputing power, We have local workstations with multiple processors to develop and benchmark parallel computing codes.
For large scale simulations, we use resources at the Centre for Advanced Research Computing.
The UNM Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC) supports high performance and data-intensive computing by the entire UNM community. Resources available to support this project include the 280-node/2240-core Wheeler capacity compute cluster, the 32-node Xena NVIDIA GPU cluster, and the 1.5PB Research Storage Consortium storage system.
