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.

if you are a student, or a colleague,
if you are a faculty member. This letter
should include the following information:
Name
Address
Telephone
E-mail address
Department of the advisor or colleague
Why the advisor thinks you should attend the SDSC
Computational Science Institute, commenting on
your qualifications and the degree to which
attendance at the institute would promote
research using supercomputers.
