Scientific Modeling and Simulation provides a communications forum at the intersection of computational materials research with materials technology. Its primary functions are: To inform the scientific community of advances in materials modeling across a spectrum of length and time scales, particularly emphasizing the interplay between theory, simulation, and experiment. To stimulate the investigation of multiscale physics, chemistry, and mechanics in understanding and utilizing materials phenomena on the electronic structure, atomistic, microstructural, and continuum levels. To promote exchanges between traditionally separate communities and organizations in academia, industry, and government laboratories within the expanding domains of materials research and development. Original contributions and invited perspectives dealing with any aspect of materials design consistent with the stated aims. Within this scope manuscripts on the following topics are particularly welcomed: Theory and simulation of materials based on electronic-structure calculations, atomistic simulations such as molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo, microstructure-level techniques such as finite-element methods, and continuum equations. Technology-driven projects where the interplay between experiments and modeling is crucial to success. Linking different techniques of materials modeling across length and time scales. Addressing issues of performance and degradation of materials systems, lifetime extensions, and environmental interactions through modeling and simulation. Advances in parallel computing and scientific visualization relevant to materials design as a multidisciplinary enterprise.
