Models of fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer have become ubiquitous in materials processing. With the power of modern parallel computers, unprecedented complexity has now become routine. Nonetheless, a gap often remains between the sea of data and the solutions needed by the customer. This presentation will address a philosophy and set of methods for applying computational methods to bridge the gap, with diverse examples from materials for space exploration to process metallurgy.
