Algorithms for multi-scale problems in science and engineering

该项目旨在为分子静电学、色散力理论、声学和电磁散射等领域的基本问题提供理论公式和算法，以解决当前方法可能无效的应用问题。许多工程应用，从微电子到生物工程设备，都需要跨越从几毫米到一百万倍小的尺寸。这种大范围的长度尺度意味着传统的建模工具和计算技术将迅速变得棘手。这个项目将满足加强澳大利亚技术技能基础的需要，并促进从生物工程到纳米技术等领域的创新。

This project aims to develop theoretical formulations and algorithms for modelling fundamental problems in molecular electrostatics, dispersion force theory, acoustics and electromagnetic scattering in applications where current approaches may be useless. Many engineering applications, from microelectronics to bioengineering devices, need to operate across dimensions from a few millimetres down to a million times smaller. This large range of length scales means traditional modelling tools and computational techniques will rapidly become intractable. This project will meet this need to strengthen the Australian technological skill base and contribute to innovations in areas ranging from bioengineering to nanotechnology.
