Abstract
This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The objective of this project was the inception and development of a new casting simulation tool that is founded in modern, high-order numerical algorithms, accurate physical models, and advanced computational science constructs needed to execute efficiently on parallel architectures. This project has therefore led to the development and application of a new simulation tool (known as Telluride) for the modeling of casting processes used in the manufacture of metal alloy components needed for various Department of Energy (DOE) and Defense Programs (DP) projects. As a result of the efforts undertaken in this project, Telluride can now model key foundry processes in the DOE/DP and in industry. Successes realized over the course of this project have secured funding for further Telluride development by the DOE Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) Program
