Michael Crochet
Dr. Crochet has been a research mechanical engineer with the AFRL Munitions Directorate since May 2020, and was a contractor with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) working with AFRL/RW for nearly 6 years prior to his current position. He received his PhD from Louisiana State University in 2013 in mechanical engineering. His research primarily involves the modeling and simulation of energetic material behavior at large (engineering) length scales, which included the development of a hydrodynamic code, which solves a hyperbolic system of partial differential equations to predict deflagration-to-detonation (DDT) phenomena in materials consisting of multiple reactive components. His recent work concerns the calibration and optimization of reactive flow models (RFM), which describe mathematical relations among a set of reactants and products, as well as an expression for the rate of change between these components. A related research interest is the development and deployment of reduced models, which use a simplified set of numerical methods and physics to capture important physical phenomena and run more quickly than the full hydrodynamic model, in order to accelerate the RFM calibration process.
