Subject: FEMLAB Version 2.0
COMSOL has released FEMLAB Version 2.0.
FEMLAB Goes 3-D, Adds a New Dimension in Ease of Use to Multiphysics
Modeling.
"Obviously, Version 2.0 allows our users to model problems that they
could never dream of tackling before," comments Lars Langemyr,
COMSOL's Vice President of R&D. What many people might not appreciate,
though, is that this release also takes a considerable burden off
people who have been trying to use available 2-D packages to tackle
some of the more complex real-world applications. Certainly, 2-D
multiphysics modeling software can prove quite useful for certain
classes of problems. Further, users are able to make appropriate
assumptions and simplifications could also do a reasonable job of
approximating a 3-D problem with existing packages. But making these
assumptions correctly and intelligently sometimes takes considerable
knowledge, skill and experience. For instance, users might have to ask
themselves: Where in the model should I take a 2-D cross-section? How
do I handle boundary conditions?
With the release of FEMLAB 2.0, users no longer need worry about such
issues," adds Langemyr, "because they can create a full 3-D model in a
fraction of the time it would take them to make intelligent decisions
about the simplifications and assumptions involved in setting up a 2-D
model."

Subject: Workshop on Novel Approaches to Hard Discrete Optimization
Workshop on Novel Approaches to Hard Discrete Optimization
Supported by the Fields Institute (http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/)
Dates:
Thursday to Saturday April 26-28, 2001
Location:
The University of Waterloo, Department of Combinatorics and Optimization,
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1
Organizers:
Kurt Anstreicher, The University of Iowa.
Panos Pardalos, University of Florida.
Franz Rendl, Universitaet Klagenfurt.
Tony Vannelli, University of Waterloo.
Henry Wolkowicz, University of Waterloo.
The breathtaking progress in algorithmic nonlinear optimization, but also in
computer hardware has thrown new light on the analysis of NP-hard problems.
Recently, a major break-through was achieved to solve QAP of sizes (n=30)
unthinkable by conventional methods. This progress was due in part to a new
nonlinear relaxation for QAP, but also to new computing facilities, allowing
for massive parallel computation. Similar progress is also made in other
areas, such as clique and coloring on massive graphs.
The aim of the workshop is therefore to bring together researchers from
several communities, such as:
algorithmic nonlinear optimization
combinatorial optimization, dealing with computational methods for
NP-hard problems
computer scientists interested in scientific parallel computing,
who share a common interest to do computations on (large-scale) hard
combinatorial optimization problems.
Topics to be covered include:
Semidefinite programming and reformulation schemes
Quadratic and multi-dimensional assignment problems
Boolean quadratic programming
Massive graph problems
Massively parallel distributed processing
VLSI design

Marie Curie Postgraduate Studentships
The Department currently has a number of Marie Curie Studentships in the areas
of Algebraic Geometry, Dynamical Systems and Stochastic Analysis. These will
fund PhD students from EU Countries to visit the Department at Warwick for a
period between 3 and 12 months. Interested students should contact one of
the following people:
Mark Gross: mgross@maths.warwick.ac.uk (Algebraic Geometry)
Sebastian van Strien: strien@maths.warwick.ac.uk (Dynamical Systems)
David Elworthy: kde@maths.warwick.ac.uk (Stochastic Analysis)
or, in addition, for students interested in computational aspects of
the subjects,
Andrew Stuart: stuart@maths.warwick.ac.uk
or, for general information about these and other graduate possibilities,
Jenny MacDonald: jenny@maths.warwick.ac.uk

Subject: Postdoctoral Postion at National Energy Technology Laboratory
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Morgantown, West
Virginia, has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Office
of Science and Technology's Computational Energy Science Focus Area. The
Postdoctoral Fellow will have the opportunity enhance the capabilities to
simulate heavily-loaded gas/particle flows, using a well developed
multiphase flow model, MFIX. The project will include developing theory
and numerical algorithms for a continuum description of dense granular
flow, implementing the algorithms into an existing code, conducting
simulations, and comparing results with experimental data. The Fellow
will be expected to work with other members of the Computational Energy
Science Focus Area, and with researchers from university, national labs,
and industry. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or have Permanent Resident
Alien (PRA) status.
A candidate should possess a Ph.D. in chemical, mechanical or civil
engineering or equivalent with an emphasis on Computational Fluid Dynamics
(CFD) or Computational Mechanics. The candidate should have demonstrated
expertise in formulating, implementing, and testing numerical algorithms.
Expertise in Fortran programming is required. Good oral and written
communication skills are required. Experience with large finite volume
CFD models, numerical linear algebra, and granular flow theory are
desirable.
NETL, a Fossil Energy field organization whose mission is solving national
energy and environmental problems, is federally owned and operated. NETL
implements a broad range of energy and environmental programs for the U.
S. Department of Energy.
If you meet the qualifications for this position, in order to apply please
send a letter of introduction, resume, and list of publications to:
