Multiscale plasma modeling
Model selection and development across kinetic PIC, hybrid kinetic-fluid, MHD, drift-diffusion, electrostatic, and electromagnetic formulations for laboratory and industrial plasma systems.
Consulting capabilities
Analysis with the physics left in.
Alfvénic supports technically demanding programs with first-principles analysis, numerical modeling, software development, and clear interpretation of results.
CFD, reacting flow & DSMC
Continuum and particle-based flow analysis for turbulent, compressible, thermal, vacuum, rarefied, and chemically reacting systems—supported by verification and sensitivity analysis.
Numerical methods & code development
Implementation and review of simulation algorithms, solvers, boundary models, diagnostics, post-processing, and reproducible scientific workflows in established or custom codebases.
HPC workflows & technical analysis
GPU and distributed-memory execution, cloud simulation environments, parameter studies, model-to-data comparison, uncertainty assessment, and decision-ready technical communication.
Working method
Start simple. Add fidelity where it changes the answer.
A staged approach keeps the model tied to the engineering or scientific decision instead of turning compute into the objective.
Define the decision
Clarify the observable, accuracy requirement, constraints, and failure modes.
Establish scale
Use estimates and reduced models to identify dominant physics and regimes.
Build & verify
Select the right formulation, test it against known limits, and quantify sensitivity.
Connect to action
Translate fields and distributions into defensible technical conclusions.
Platforms & methods
Comfortable across the stack.
Commercial tools, open-source codes, and custom solvers are selected according to the problem and the client’s operating environment.
