Center for Nonlinear Studies1334214000000Center for Nonlinear StudiesWe conduct and support basic
scientific research in nonlinear and complex systems phenomena and
promote their use in applied research programs.Conducting and supporting basic
scientific research in nonlinear and complex systems phenomena
The Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) at Los Alamos chooses a small number (two to three) focus topics periodically
and directs a major portion of its research capabilities into these
strategically important areas.
The focus areas are determined by the
Executive Committee and chosen by taking into consideration
both the Lab's needs for basic science relevant to
mission-critical programs and the need to stay abreast of emerging and
potentially important developments in complex systems research.
Current focus Areas
Complex Networks
- Communication networks
- Networks in biology
- Social networks
Soft condensed matter
- Fluid dynamics
- Granular materials
- Colloids
- Theory and simulation of turbulent flows
Nonlinear phenomena
- Nonlinear excitations in materials
- Reaction-diffusion systems
- Nonlinear optics and spectroscopy
