In today’s highly competitive world, companies are using modeling and simulation with high performance computing to gain important competitive advantages. Yet many firms have computational problems that exceed their internal computing capabilities. The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has an industrial partnerships program that helps companies access its Titan supercomputer, the nation’s most powerful HPC system for open research. This talk will provide an overview of this program, and how companies are using Titan to make progress on their seemingly intractable computational challenges and advance in their use of large scale HPC systems.
We all know that surfactants partition to the surface of water, because one part of the surfactant molecule is "hydrophilic" and wants to be in the water, while the other part of the molecule is "hydrophobic" and wants to be out of the water. Perhaps the simplest example of a surfactant consists of a carboxylic acid, which is hydrophilic, connected to an alkane chain, which is hydrophobic. But what happens when the solvent is not just water, but a water-alcohol mixture? The alkane chain, which is hydrophobic, may not be "solvophobic" with this water-alcohol solvent. What molecular segments will be solvophobic, and can we determine the particular characteristics of the molecule that make it solvophobic? We describe in this talk our combined experimental-simulation investigation to address these questions.
