Computational Science and Computer Modeling

GAITS assists clients by designing mathematical models, constructing computer simulations, and identifying numerical solution techniques that enable scientists and engineers to gain insight into and solve problems related to the physical sciences, network design, air traffic control, and complex command and control systems. Our subject matter experts are experienced in a variety of scientific computing applications including Mathematica, MATLAB, SciLab, GNU Octave, COMSOL Multiphysics, and PDL.

Using computer modeling and simulation, GAITS assists clients develop sophisticated applications such as the testing of new power processes well before the construction of a pilot plant. Through the use of computational flow dynamics, 3-D visualization, process simulation and a host of other computational techniques, engineers are able to determine whether a new concept's physical and chemical systems perform as predicted, whether a future power plant's mechanical systems function properly, and whether the plant will succeed in meeting its efficiency and environmental goals - all displayed on a computer screen.

By adding the time dimension to traditional 3D computer simulations (3D+T), we create models that enable clients to understand the past state or future state of complex systems and perform "what if" analyses. Applications of 3D+T modeling span the physical sciences (such as weather forecasting and studying the interaction of sub-atomic particles), medical sciences (such as simulations of the aging process and disease progression) and engineering (such as analysis of complex structures in motion).
