What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon.
Understand thermal transport properties of materials at ultrahigh temperatures.
Find new materials that can withstand ultrahigh temperatures with extreme (either high or low) thermal conductivities.
How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice?
Current theoretical methods are good for low temperatures, and will fail in predicting thermal transport behavior at ultrahigh temperatures.
What is new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?
We develop new atomic simulations and explore the deep physics of thermal transport at ultrahigh temperatures. From that, we design new materials with desired properties.
Who cares? If you are successful, what difference will it make?
Thermal management of hypersonic vehicles, thermal barrier coatings of gas turbines.
