ECE faculty John Young and Rob Adams have received a three year award from the Office of Naval Research to study algorithms for the electromagnetic field modeling of Naval vessels. The award will support the development of efficient, large-scale field modeling techniques in high-performance cluster computing environments capable of addressing the U.S. Navy's needs for designing next-generation ships. These methods will aid in the rapid design and improved performance of ship systems such as degaussing coils and corrosion-suppressing cathodic protection devices. The fully-parallelized codes will be developed using the University of Kentucky's Lipscomb High Performance Computing Cluster.
