Subject: Release of FEniCS 1.0
We are pleased to announce the release of FEniCS 1.0. This is the
first stable and supported release of FEniCS.
FEniCS is an integrated problem solving environment for partial
differential equations for both Python and C++ users. A high-level
expressive interface is combined with efficiency through automated and
seamless generation of highly efficient low level code (C++). An
integrated domain-specific form language allows finite element
variational problems to be expressed in near-mathematical notation as
part of a simulation program.
Summary of features:
* An integrated domain-specific finite element form language
* Fully automated assembly of finite element variational forms
* Fully distributed simplex meshes in 1D, 2D, 3D
* High-performance linear algebra (based on PETSc and Trilinos)
* A large library of different finite elements
* Automated adaptive error control
FEniCS is available for a multitude of platforms, with prebuilt
binaries for Debian/Ubuntu, Mac OS X and Windows. In addition, an
automated build script automates the building of FEniCS and its
dependencies (including PETSc and Trilinos) on a large collection of
(*nix) platforms.
FEniCS is supported by extensive documentation, consisting of a
comprehensive tutorial, detailed API documentation and a range of
documented demos. In addition, the 700-page FEniCS book (Springer
2011) documents the methodology behind the FEniCS Project and
highlights a number of applications based on FEniCS.

Subject: Memorial Fund in Honor of John Osborn
This is to announce the creation of a memorial fund in honor of our
exemplary colleage and friend John E. Osborn.
John Osborn received his PhD from the University of Minnesota in 1965
and spent his entire career at the University of Maryland. He
specialized in numerical analysis of elliptic partial differential
equations. Even after his retirement in 2008 he continued to be an
active participant in department seminars and affair, up until his
death on May 30, 2011 at the age of 74.
The memorial fund will be used to recognize and support excellent
graduate students in the AMSC, MATH and STAT programs at College
Park. The intention is to create an endowment large enough to fund, in
perpetuity, four annual awards. Kadir Aziz has given a substantial
contribution to launch this fund. Therefore the award is called
Kadir Aziz-John Osborn Graduate Student Award.
We invite you to consider making a contribution to this cause. Please
visit the web page http://www.math.umd.edu/Aziz-Osborn for more
information.
Best regards,
Howard Elman

Subject: MPD Flow Simulator Available
In 2009, the United States Department of Energy awarded Stratamagnetic
Software, LLC, Houston, a major award to develop advanced
computational methods for petroleum exploration, in particular, for
drilling and cementing applications. The award was made in support of
the DOE's Ultra-deepwater Project for offshore exploration. The
project, "Advanced Steady-State and Transient, Three-Dimensional,
Single and Multiphase, Non-Newtonian Simulation System for Managed
Pressure Drilling," from a mathematical standpoint, focuses on systems
of elliptic and parabolic nonlinear partial differential equations
solved on boundary conforming curvilinear meshes, many subsets of
which are of interest also to engineers and researchers outside the
petroleum industry. The complete work, finished earlier this year,
will be published by Elsevier Scientific Publishing in book form, as
"Managed Pressure Drilling: Modeling, Strategy and Planning," to be
offered in February 2012 and which will formally debut at the 2012
Offshore Technology Conference in Houston. The complete software
system is available for complimentary download at:
https://www.yousendit.com/download/cnJpakl1dzhWRDlFQlE9PQ
The methods, of course, apply also to complicated annular flows found
in extrusion manufacturing, chemical process engineering, and so on.

Subject: New Book, On the Mathematics of Signal processing
Arising from courses taught by the authors, this largely
self-contained treatment is ideal for mathematicians who are
interested in applications or for students from applied fields who
want to understand the mathematics behind their subject. Early
chapters cover Fourier analysis, functional analysis, probability and
linear algebra, all of which have been chosen to prepare the reader
for the applications to come. The book includes rigorous proofs of
core results in compressive sensing and wavelet convergence.
Fundamental is the treatment of the linear system y=phix in both
finite and infinite dimensions. There are three possibilities: the
system is determined, overdetermined or underdetermined, each with
different aspects. The authors assume only basic familiarity with
advanced calculus, linear algebra and matrix theory and modest
familiarity with signal processing, so the book is accessible to
students from the advanced undergraduate level. Many exercises are
also included.

Subject: New Book, Spectral Numerical Weather Prediction Models
Announcing the December 9, 2011, publication by SIAM of:
Spectral Numerical Weather Prediction Models, by Martin Ehrendorfer
2011 / xxvi + 499 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611971-98-9 /
List Price $129.00 / SIAM Member Price $90.30 / Order Code OT124
This book provides a comprehensive overview of numerical weather
prediction (NWP) focusing on the application of the spectral method in
NWP models. The author illustrates the use of the spectral method in
theory as well as in its application to building a full prototypical
spectral NWP model, from the formulation of continuous model equations
through development of their discretized forms to coded statements of
the model.
The author describes the implementation of a specific model–PEAK
(Primitive- Equation Atmospheric Research Model Kernel)–to illustrate
the steps needed to construct a global spectral NWP model. The book
brings together all the spectral, time, and vertical discretization
aspects relevant for such a model. It provides readers with
information necessary to construct spectral NWP models; a
self-contained, well-documented, coded spectral NWP model; and
theoretical and practical exercises, some of which include solutions.
This book is intended for anyone with a basic mathematics and physics
background who is interested in numerical weather prediction, with a
specific interest in any aspect of NWP, and in learning fundamentals
of atmospheric dynamics. The audience includes mathematicians,
physicists, students, researchers, teachers, and engineers.

Subject: Doctoral Positions, RWTH Aachen University
PhD Positions, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
The Chair for Computational Analysis of Technical Systems has two
doctoral positions available. One project is concerned with the
modeling of viscoelastic flows and the other with shape optimization
of extrusion dies.
Position "Viscoelastic Flow and Die Swell": In this project, the
fundamental physical phenomenon of viscoelastic die swell is to be
investigated numerically. Challenges include the development of
stabilized finite element methods for viscoelastic liquid flow in
complex 3D geometries, and robust tracking of the swelling liquid
interface. The project is supported by the German Research Foundation.
Position "Shape Optimization of Extrusion Dies": Given an existing
capability of simulating the flow of molten plastic in an extrusion
die, it is desirable to automatically optimize the geometry of the
flow channel to achieve certain production quality. Challenges include
the parametrization of complex 3D surfaces with T-splines and the
definition of objective functionals. This project is part of the
Excellence Cluster "Integrative Production Technology".
Requirement for both positions is a university master's degree in
engineering, applied mathematics, physics or a similar subject, with a
superior academic record. Practical programming experience in Fortran
or C as well as in parallelization (MPI or OpenMP) are of advantage.
The candidates will be employed as a full-time employees and must meet
required personal qualifications; the salary level is according to
TV-L E13 scale. The initial appointment will be for one year, but is
renewable for up to five years. Applications are being reviewed now.
Applications should be sent to:
Prof. Marek Behr
Chair for Computational Analysis of Technical Systems
Center for Computational Engineering Science
