Well, I am looking for a 3D dynamic fluid flow simulator. I am going to use it as a tool-box in my Ph.D work on 3D modelling of two-phase (oil/gas) flow in pipes and (enventually) in complex geometries. If the code has a 2-fluid model and even som kind of VOF technique allready it would be great, but not necessary. Single phase codes are also of interest. Codes of interest must obey the following criteria: * Public domain (free) * Reasonable well documented * Coded in fortran or ansi C If I am on the wrong net-list, please advise me other(s) to use.

Both organizations and individuals are talking and writing about it, and a significant number are doing, or preparing to do, something about it. But do they know what they are doing, or even what needs to be done? The short-range "fix" might lead to a long- range disaster, as was the case with DDT. Computer modeling and simulation can alleviate that kind of hazard. We don't have to try something and wait to see what will eventually happen. If we have a suitable model we can run it forward in time and examine the results. Of course that phrase "suitable model" is all important. Our concern is with the total environment of our entire planet, and today there is no suitable overall model. And we can't wait; circumstances demand that we take a piecemeal approach. To that end I am organizing a series of conference sessions which will constitute a continuing track, a MAIN TRACK, under the rubric "Understanding Our Environment." Three sessions of this track, at which papers describing the simulation of specific aspects of the environment will be presented, have already been organized for the 1991 Western MultiConference on Computer Simulation, scheduled for January 23-25 at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. Simulationists working on related projects, but who are not yet ready to report on their progress, are invited to present papers on the MAIN TRACK, "Toward Understanding Our Environment," at future SCSI conferences. The next two of these will be the 1991 SCS Simulation MultiConference scheduled for April 1-5 at the Fairmont Hotel in New Orleans, and the 1991 Summer Computer Simulation Conference scheduled for Baltimore, July 22-24. Understanding the pieces is progress toward understanding the whole -- let's get with it!

For example, given a series of results one can use the service to aid in prediction based upon new or old circumstances. To use the service, send the information via e-mail or regular mail with a Stamped Self Addressed Enveloped included and use the information format sheet below. Based upon that no fee will be charged, 5 request per organization or individual will be the limit accepted. My e-mail address is: kanecki@vacs.uwp.wisc.edu. And, my regular mail address is: David H.

The happenings at the SIGGRAPH meeting, are replated to my request. Several other Graphics personnel and I here at Indiana Univeristy are trying to compile a database of information on Virtual Environments and other related data. In accordance with Univeristy Computing Services here at Indiana, we will take any information that is sent to us over the net, organize and catalogue the information and send out a completed packet to anyone who is interested. Information on VR certainly can be found, but in order to get a clearer idea of where VR is now and where it is going, data will have to be gathered and recorded. Offical sources such as the Smithsonian in Washington, DC and the Autodesk Corporation have pleged their support of this project and will send (or have allready sent) us their available information. However, this database will not be complete until it is certain that we have received as much information as possible on this subject. This database is public, and therefore should be treated as such. Without all available information, this database will not live up to it's full potential: to bring all relevant information to all interested parties. It should also be noted that this project, though University supported, is not University organized, like many othe college research. This Database is replying solely on the participants who will contribute and the dedication of the graphics personnelhere at University Computing Services. Without outside public help, it is too much for a financially unsupported, self-organized task. We would like to thank the people and sources that have helped us so far in the effort, but we still need more support. Data and information can be sent to us at these addresses at any time. Thank you.
