Capabilities

  Engineering Computation and Design

Engineering and Structural Mechanics

We develop computer codes and analytical methods for modeling the response of structures and continua to external loadings in two- and three-dimensions. Our codes are specialized for solving nonlinear static, transient dynamic and thermal problems for structures, solids, fluids, and fluid-structure interactions.

Engineering Analysis

Systems/Component Design, Engineering and Drafting

We provide a wide variety of equipment engineering, project engineering, design engineering and drafting services to Laboratory and external researchers. Our capabilities span a broad area, from project management to research and detailed design of systems and components, and have been applied in such diverse areas as vacuum and cryogenic systems, manufacturing engineering, hot cell equipment, and spent fuel processing systems.

Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics

Heat Transfer and Fluid MechanicsWe specialize in the development and application of advanced computational methods for fluid and heat engineering. Simulation techniques are applied to provide fluid dynamics and heat transfer solutions supporting numerous nuclear and non-nuclear initiatives. Most of our activities are based on use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software.
