          Calling all CFDers

              COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE INSTITUTE TO FEATURE FLUID DYNAMICS
              ---------------------------------------------------------

          SDSC's fifth advanced computing summer institute will be held
          August 12-23. This year's institute will concentrate on advanced
          computing and visualization as applied to computational fluid
          dynamics--CFD. Participants must have a background or interest 
	  in this specialty.

          SDSC CFD experts Hassan Aref (professor of mechanical 
	  engineering and SDSC chief scientist) and Richard Charles 
	  (SDSC senior consultant) are speakers. The institute 
	  also will feature the following guest lecturers, 
	  all renowned in CFD:

               +    Joe Thompson, distinguished professor of aerospace
                    engineering, Mississippi State

               +    Peter Eiseman, adjunct professor of applied physics,
                    Columbia

               +    Mory Gharib, associate professor of fluid mechanics,
		    UC San Diego

               +    Stan Osher, professor of mathematics, UCLA

               +    Douglas Dommermuth, research scientist, SAIC

               +    Sanjiva Lele, assistant professor of aeronautics
                    astronautics, Stanford, NASA/Ames Research Center

               +    Val Watson, chief, workstation applications office,
                    fluid dynamics division, NASA/Ames Research Center

          The institute's first two days will concentrate on general
          advanced computing topics and the use of the CRAY Y-MP under
          UNICOS. The next three days will feature grid generation, how to
          use CFD packages such as FLUENT, FIDAP, FLOTRAN, and 
	  FLOW-3D, and advanced topics and experiences in fluid 
	  flow. The second week will explore CFD visualization 
	  techniques, with Thursday featuring future trends in 
	  all areas of advanced computing.

          If you are interested in attending this institute, you need
	  to complete the application form, which is attached to this
	  news message, and return it to us no later than July 12 (the
	  address you need to send it to is included on the application
	  form).

          Tuition, travel, housing, and meal expenses will be paid for 20
          academic participants. Academic applicants may be 
	  undergraduates, graduates, or faculty. Industrial 
	  partners will be charged $2500 tuition. The institute 
	  is contingent on funding from NSF.

          All participants must bring a scientific programming project
          related to CFD research, teaching, or education. They will
          receive three hours of CRAY time, use of a Macintosh, and 
	  access to the high-end workstations in the SDSC VisLab. 
	  SDSC consultants will be available to assist during 
	  the afternoon workstation sessions. SDSC facilities 
	  will be available nights and weekends to give participants 
	  as much time as possible to work on their projects.

          Each participant is asked to make a short written and 
	  oral report at the final session.
