In the last years these problems have gained a lot of attention and different techniques were developed to improve the scalability of linear and non-linear solvers. This workshop wants to gather experts to discuss topics like communication avoiding Krylov methods asynchronicity in solvers non-linear preconditioning strong preconditioners (GMG and DD) blocked and enriched Krylov methods. All these approaches aim at increasing local costs and reducing or hiding global communication costs, which will contribute to better scalability. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Pamela Bye pam.bye@ima.org.uk Date: September 11, 2019 Subject: LMS-IMA Joint Meeting on Planet Earth, UK, Nov 2019 November 21, 2019 - Whiteknights Campus, University of Reading Following the international programme MPE2013, the research agenda of Mathematics of Planet Earth has gained more and more relevance within Mathematics as well as at the interface(s) between Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, and, obviously, Geosciences.

The selected candidate will work at Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences of University of Sao Paulo in Sao Carlos/SP, Brazil. Sao Paulo Research Foundation provides the financial support with a monthly salary of R$ 7.373,10. Financial support can also be provided to cover transportation expenses as to the move to Sao Carlos - Brazil. An extra grant is also provided to cover participation in highly relevant conferences and workshops, as well as research trips (limited to 15% of the annual amount of the fellowship). The position is for one year. Project: Viscoelastic Flows: Fractional Integral constitutive models Supervisor: Antonio Castelo Filho Description: The post-doc will interact with the CFD groups at CEPID- CeMEAI. The post-doc is expected to perform research in viscoelastic flows models governed by fractional integral constitutive equations. This includes the development of computational methodology and implementation in CFD HIGTREE-HIGFLOW software. This software uses finite differences in staggered grid and its generic in dimensional and type of flow. Viscoelastic fluid flows are of great importance in the industrial area, for example in injection/extrusion machines or in oil extraction. Numerically simulating these processes, specifically due to the rheology of some time-dependent fluids, has been a challenge. Currently, integral type models are the most suitable; mainly fractional integral models. Although growing, the area of research in fractional models is little explored and very promising. Requirements: Applicants should have PhD in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science or related fields, with experience in numerical simulation of viscoelastic fluids flows modeled by integral, preferably fractional, constitutive equations. Candidates must have got their PhD in the last 5 years. Application: Please send your application before October 31, 2019 to: castelo@icmc.usp.br. Please indicate "CEPID post-doctoral application - CFD" in the subject line. Applications should include curriculum vitae, statement of research interests and two contact information for recommendation letters(only PDF files).
