Numerically Intensive Computational Science Priority Areas

Applied and Industrial Mathematics
Bushfire and combustion physics, number theory with applications to cyber security and cryptography, mathematical biology/ecology, non-linear dynamical systems.

Astrophysics
Numerical simulation of binary star mergers and supernova detonations, star formation and stellar evolution, Big Data methodologies applied to large-scale observational surveys.

Coastal Impact
Modelling of sea level rise due to climate change and land reclamation, sedimentation of ports and harbours, mesoscale atmospheric modelling of land falling tropical cyclones.

Theoretical Chemistry
Classical and quantum chemistry, with medical applications such as protein–cell wall absorption, and quantum simulations of gas-surface interactions.
