Subject: How to Create Isoparametric Elements
The most common technique for approximating curved geometry in the
finite element method is to use "isoparametric elements". Isoparametric
elements are explained in most finite element textbooks, e.g., Hughes;
Johnson; Zienkiewicz & Taylor.
But I do not know of a good algorithm to compute an isoparametric
interpolant to a curved geometry. Consider the following special case:
a tetrahedral element lies inside a sphere. Three of its vertices are
on the spherical surface and the fourth is interior. I would like a
procedure to curve this element so that its outer surface approximates
spherical geometry to a high order. A naive algorithm that interpolates
the surface using an evenly-spaced mesh of points produces oscillatory
results because of the "Runge" effect. Note that it is desirable not
only for the interpolant to lie close to the true surface, but also for
the normal to the interpolant to lie close to the normal to the true
surface.
I imagine that there must already be good published solutions to this
problem.
Thanks,
Steve Vavasis

of algorithms, models, and software for information retrieval
and management. This workshop is co-sponsored by SIAM, National
Science Foundation, Boeing, and Telcordia Technologies, Inc.
One particular goal of this workshop is to present a taxonomy of current
algorithms used in IR systems and WWW-based search engines. In
addition to the distinguished invited speakers listed below, we encourage
all LA00 attendees to register for this important workshop which can
facilitate an open discussion on the future development of automated
indexing.

on Sunday, October 22, 2000 from 8:00am to 5:00pm. In addition
to the invited talks there will be a "Contributed Talks" session
and a "Panel Discussion" in the afternoon. You may register
for the workshop at the CIR00 website
http://www.cs.utk.edu/cir00
and provide a title/abstract of any contributed talk. Selected
contributed talks for CIR00 will be posted on the website and

Subject: Research Positions at TU Delft
The Departments of Aerodynamics and Engineering Mechanics of the Faculty of
Aerospace Engineering, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands offer:
TWO PHD-POSITIONS
in the project
Computation of Fluid-Structure Interactions Applied to Wing Sections
Aim of this interdisciplinary project is the development and implementation
of numerical methods for accurate computation of the interactions between
flow and structure, e.g. wing sections. These interactions concern distortions
of the structure due to forces from the flow, and changes in the fluid flow
pattern due to the moving boundary of the structure. Within this project we
have two funded positions for PhD-students.
Focus of separate positions:
The first position concerns the application of Direct Numerical Simulation
(DNS) to Fluid-Structure Interactions. Main objective is the accurate
computation of transition and separation in flow involved in interactions with
the structure, by applying DNS in a smart way.
The second position concerns the numerical computation of the interactions
between the flow and the wing section. This involves coupling of the
equations for the flow and the structure in time, accurate time integration of
the system(s) of equations, movement of the grid, and space discretisation of
the equations on a moving grid.
Organisation:
The project is a joint project of the Engineering Mechanics group of
prof. R. de Borst and the Aerodynamics group of prof. P.G. Bakker.
Both PhD-students will be working in our Fluid-Structure Interaction team
consisting of three assistant professors. The PhD-students will be able to
participate in the training of the national research school for fluid dynamics:
the J.M Burgers Center.
The duration of both appointments is four years.
Requirements:
A masters or equivalent degree in Mathematics, Physics or Engineering with
a strong background in Computational Fluid Dynamics, Computational Structural
Mechanics or a related discipline is required.
