Parallel Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations

Month: June 2008

Date: June 9--20

Name: Parallel Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations

Location: University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming.


Purpose

To bring participants to a good understanding of the numerical methods presently in use for the solution of partial differential equations and have on-hand experience with their implementation in a modern computer environment. Emphasis will be put on high-order accurate methods for time-dependent problems such as Spectral Element and Discontinuous Galerkin methods. Applications include numerical solution of fluid flow equations, electromagnetic wave propagation and weather and climate prediction.

Speakers

Jan Hesthaven (Brown University), Henry Tufo (Colorado University Boulder and National Center for Atmospheric Research) and Tim Warburton (Rice University).

Sponsors

Rocky Mountain Mathematics Consortium. IMA and NSF Funding pending.

Deadline

For application/abstracts of talks: April 1, 2008.

Organizers

D. Stanescu and A.D. Porter (U. of Wyoming).
