Tomorrow's Solutions...Today!

The Problem: The scientific problems of interest to DOE require creation of realistic models of physical situations...
With a variety of experimental testbed facilities and core expertise in a broad range of science and computer science disciplines, ORNL is well suited for developing and testing the models used for challenging applications.
ORNL Solutions: ORNL researchers are adding functionality to models in a number of research disciplines: astrophysics, biomedical applications, climate systems, combustion engines, community development, ecological systems, forensics, materials, nanotechnology, neutron science, and transport in subsurface geology.

A novel technique is being employed to understand fluids transport in complex geologic structures, such as those underlying the Oak Ridge Reservation. details
Computational chemistry simulations at ORNL are a driver for designing, developing, and understanding new molecular-based materials. details
ORNL researchers are modelling stellar explosions to better understand the mechanisms which distribute elements throughout the cosmos. details
The Virtual Human (VH) will integrate diverse data, models, and algorithms, and provide a unique human simulation platform for diverse applications. details
Numerical simulations of casting processes are used in concert with experimental results to enhance product quality and characteristics. details
Realistic, real-time computer simulations are being used to enhance the community redevelopment decisionmaking process. details
The Spallation Neutron Source target has been simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), yielding important design information. details

FBI fingerprint analysis system

Allows local, state, and Federal fingerprint contributors to electronically transmit live and scanned images of fingerprints and descriptor data to the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJISD)
Supports faster responses to contributors with results from searches of the FBI's Criminal Masterfiles.

DSRD (Data Systems Research and Development)
http://www.dsrd.ornl.gov/

A human simulation tool, the Virtual Human, is under development at ORNL. ORNL is uniquely equipped to pioneer this development due to our experience with numerous anatomical and biokinetic models, databases, informatics and visualization capabilities, as well as the supercomputing and massive data storage devices required. The model will incorporate physics (such as mechanical and electrical tissue properties) and biology (from physiology to biochemical information), so that responses to varied stimuli (biological, chemical and physical) can be predicted mechanistically and results viewed three-dimensionally.
