THE VISION FOR THE PREDICTIVE SIMULATION CENTER (PSC) IS TO REVOLUTIONIZE PREDICTIVE SCIENCE BY UNRAVELING AND LEVERAGING THE CRITICAL INFLUENCE OF SMALL SCALES ON EMERGENT BEHAVIORS ACROSS VARIOUS PHYSICAL REGIMES. THE TARGET APPLICATION IS A ROTATING DETONATION COMBUSTER (RDC), A MULTISCALE PROBLEM WITH A RICH SET OF SCIENCE CHALLENGES RELEVANT TO NNSA. THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AIMS TO TRANSFORM HOW COMPLEX APPLICATIONS, FROM NONEQUILIBRIUM MULTIMATERIAL INTERFACE EVOLUTION TO TURBULENCE, ARE INVESTIGATED BY DEVELOPING SOPHISTICATED AUTONOMOUS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) AGENTS LEVERAGING NEW INNER-AND-OUTER-LOOP ALGORITHMS. THE AI-DRIVEN FRAMEWORKS WILL SYSTEMATICALLY REFINE THE COMBINATIONS OF PHYSICS, SIMULATIONS, ALGORITHMS, AND COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING THE TIME FROM INITIAL SCIENTIFIC INQUIRIES TO ACTIONABLE PREDICTIVE INSIGHTS.
