Honest question: do you really think talking much with computer scientists would help? My impression is that most of the improvements (besides Moore's law) in the power of simulation of physical systems has come from either new physical insights, or computational insights developed by physicists who were mostly self-taught numerical techniques. It seems very plausible to me that there are honest-to-goodness CS insights that remain unexploited, such as better parallelizing physical simulations, but the track record hasn't been good. Why aren't CS people coming in and showing everyone how it should be done?
(For what it's worth, I'm a physicist, but not one who does anything numerical, and I'm happy to admit arrogance by physicists could be a problem here.)
