Autonomous Quality Space Imagery for LEO/GEO Space Operations

Abstract

Our overall goal is to develop, implement and transfer accurate new numerical methods for solving moving boundary problems in materials science. We have three specific objectives: (1) Combine semi-Lagrangian time stepping, accurate contouring and fast geometric algorithms to develop and implement accurate, efficient and general new methods for moving sharp interfaces; (2) Develop a fast modular open source moving interface code for transfer to other researchers, labs and industry; (3) Build efficient, accurate and general integral solvers for coupled systems of partial differential equation (PDEs) modeling common material phenomena, and couple these solvers to our modular moving interface code.
