Subject: Babuska Prize Awarded to Pavel Solin
1999 BABUSKA PRIZE AWARDED
In December 1999, the Czech Association for Mechanics and the
Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists again awarded the
I. Babuska Prize for the best work in computer science submitted
by students and young scientists.
The Prize winner for 1999 is Dr Pavel Solin from the Faculty of
Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague. The
work honored was his PhD thesis On the method of lines.
Further winners were delivered diplomas of honor. The second was
Dr Ludek Kovar from the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the
University of West Bohemia in Pilsen with his PhD thesis
Modeling of dynamic properties of complex mechanical systems
composed of subsystems by the method of modal synthesis.
The third position was taken by Dr Jan H. Brandts (now at the
Utrecht University, the Netherlands) who presented his paper
Calculation of invariant subspaces of large and sparse matrices
written during his postdoctoral stay in the Institute of
Computer Science of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech
Republic in Prague.
A further diploma of honor was delivered to a diploma work. In
this category, Jiri Prchal from the Faculty of Transportation
Sciences of the Czech Technical University in Prague was honored
for his diploma work Parameter reduction in the system for
controlling large transportation nets.
The prize as well as the diplomas are awarded every year and
they are connected with a financial support.
The prize was established in 1994 by an outstanding Czech
mathematician Ivo Babuska. He was born in Prague and after
graduating from the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech
Technical University in Prague he started his work in the
Mathematical Institute of the Academy of Sciences. He was
appointed professor in Prague in 1968 and since fall 1968 he has
been working in the United States. Since 1995 he works at the
Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics,
University of Texas, Austin, TX.
His scientific work is focused on numerical and applied
mathematics and computational mechanics, and their use in
practice. His results in the finite element method belong to the
fundamentals of the method. He is the author of several
monographs and has initiated several famous scientific meetings
both in Europe and the United States. He established the journal
Applications of Mathematics (formerly Aplikace matematiky) in
1956.

Dear Colleague,
We would like to inform you about this 2nd International Workshop on
"Next generation climate models for advanced high performance
computing facilities".
New projects for advanced high-performance computing facilities are
indeed being conducted in Japan and US, such as the "Earth Simulator"
and "ASCI" initiatives.
Corresponding to these hardware development programs,
it is necessary to enhance an activity on the software development.
For this purpose, the first Workshop on "Next-generation
climate models for advanced high performance computing facilities"
was held at Honolulu in March 1999.
We have decided to hold the second Workshop on "Next-generation
climate models for advanced high performance computing facilities"
this coming February in Toulouse, in order to facilitate
the cooperation with European scientists.
The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the following points:
(1) What is the next generation climate model suitable for these advanced
computing facilities?
(2) What kind of processes, schemes and /or models are necessary for the
next generation model?
(3) How to do in order to achieve these goals?
Any kind of comments and contributions are welcome.
We are looking forward with great pleasure to seeing you and
exchanging information on the next-generation models and computers.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at Universite Pierre et Marie Curie
POST DOCTORAL POSITION IN PARIS
Our fluid interface modeling group seeks to hire a post-doctoral
researcher. Our group is involved in theoretical and numerical studies
of droplets and bubbles. We abundantly use numerical methods. Thus we
are interested in the development and use of schemes for the study of
interfaces between fluids and for free surface flow. We are using both
VOF/PLIC volumetric tracking and surface tracking, coupled to finite
volume/finite difference discretization of the bulk. These methods are
coupled with various multilevel and multigrid methods. We have access
to massively parallel computers but perform the day to day work on small
computers, typically PCs under linux. Typical problems are splashing
droplets, the atomization of jets in fuel injectors for car and rocket
engines, bubbles in turbulent flows, cavitating flows, breaking and
spilling ocean waves .
A good knowledge of numerical methods for fluid mechanics,
and of fluid mechanics in general, is essential.
All group members are fluent in English so knowledge of the French
language is not required.
The fellowship would be for a period of one year, with opportunities
for longer time positions. Salary is negotiable but would be around
10000 FF/month. The exchange rate is currently around 6 FF/dollar.
However this is a non-taxable fellowship, with inexpensive
health insurance (200 FF/month) and no income taxes. Some assistance
in finding housing may be available.
Applicants should send me an e-mail and request three letters of
recommendation to be sent to me directly at the address below.
