Subject: New Book, Computational Rheology
COMPUTATIONAL RHEOLOGY
by
Robert G. Owens (EPFL, Switzerland)
Timothy N. Phillips (University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK)
Modern day high-performance computers are making available to 21st-century
scientists solutions to rheological flow problems of ever-increasing complexity.
Computational rheology is a fast-moving subject ? problems which only 10 years
ago were intractable, such as 3D transient flows of polymeric liquids,
non-isothermal non-Newtonian flows or flows of highly elastic liquids through
complex geometries, are now being tackled owing to the availability of parallel
computers, adaptive methods and advances in constitutive modelling.
Computational Rheology traces the development of numerical methods for
non-Newtonian flows from the late 1960's to the present day. It begins with
broad coverage of non-Newtonian fluids, including their mathematical modelling
and analysis, before specific computational techniques are discussed. The
application of these techniques to some important rheological flow problems of
academic and industrial interest is then treated in a detailed and up-to-date
exposition. Finally, the reader is kept abreast of topics at the cutting edge of
research in computational applied mathematics, such as adaptivity and stochastic
partial differential equations.
All the topics in this book are dealt with from an elementary level and this
makes the text suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as
well as experienced researchers from both the academic and industrial
communities.

Subject: Special Issue of LAA on Large Scale Eigenvalue Problems
LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Special issue on Large Scale Linear and Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems
CALL FOR PAPERS:
In many different application areas there is an increasing and pressing
need for new theory and numerical techniques for solving very large
linear and nonlinear eigenvalue problems.
Recent advances in computer hardware make it feasible to solve
enormously large eigenvalue problems with millions of unknowns, but this
increase in the problem size leads to several new numerical challenges.
First, classical eigenvalue solvers that do not scale linearly with the
problem size have become very expensive for practical problems. This has
increased attention to alternative approaches such as preconditioning
for eigenvalue problems. Secondly, due to the architecture of modern
computers, there is a demand for parallel algorithms that are well
scalable with respect to the number of computing nodes. Moreover the
growth of the problem size often leads to badly conditioned problems,
which require increased algorithm stability and novel tools to estimate
the accuracy of computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In some
large-scale applications, one needs to find eigenpairs of a matrix that
is available only implicitly through a function that computes the
corresponding vector-matrix product for a given vector, which thus calls
for "matrix-free" eigensolvers.
This special issue will be open for all papers with significant new
results in Large Scale Linear and Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems where
either linear algebraic methods play an important role or new tools and
problems of linear algebraic nature are presented. In addition, surveys
papers are very welcome, in particular on specific application areas
where the eigenvalue problems are especially challenging because of the
large size.
Papers must meet the publication standards of Linear Algebra and Its
Applications and will be refereed in the usual way.
The deadline for submission of papers is March 31, 2003, and the special
issue is expected to be published in 2004. Papers should be sent to any
of its special editors, preferably by email in the PostScript format:

Computational Science & Engineering (CS&E) is now widely accepted,
along with theory and experiment, as a crucial third mode of
scientific investigation and engineering design. Simulation has
enabled the study of biological, chemical, and physical phenomena and
engineered systems that are dangerous, expensive, or impossible to
study by direct observation. Aerospace, automotive, biomedical,
chemical, civil infrastructure, electronics, energy, environmental,
and other industrial sectors now rely on simulation for technical
decision support. For federal agencies also, CS&E has become an
essential support for decisions on resources, transportation, and
defense. CS&E is by nature interdisciplinary. It grows out of physical
applications and it depends on computer architecture, but at its heart
are powerful algorithms and methods. Much of CS&E has involved
simulation, but the future surely includes large-scale optimization,
design, and data assimilation, especially in the presence of
uncertainty.
