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.
