Subject: PaMPA v2.0.0, Distributed mesh management and remesher


Release v2.0.0 of the PaMPA software is now available.

PaMPA is a software library for handling unstructured meshes in
parallel, on distributed memory architectures. PaMPA speeds-up and
eases the writing of scientific solvers that implement compact schemes
and models, by providing abstractions of mesh entities (e.g. elements,
faces, edges, nodes, etc.) and their interrelations.

The core library of PaMPA 2.0.0 (PaMPA-Core) is freely downloadable
from https://gitlab.inria.fr/PaMPA/PaMPA-Core, under the GPL licence.

The parallel remeshing extension module of PaMPA 2.0.0 (PaMPA-Remesh)
is available at no cost under a proprietary, evaluation licence valid
for 30 days. Please contact us in order to benefit from this offer.

PaMPA-Remesh runs concurrently multiple sequential remeshing tasks to
perform dynamic parallel remeshing and redistribution of very large
unstructured meshes. E.g., it can remesh a tetrahedral mesh from 200
million elements to 1 billion elements in 10 minutes on 120 Broadwell
procs, using the Mmg sequential tetrahedral remesher
(mmgtools.org). This final mesh was used for an industrial simulation.

Subject: RIM: A novel eigensolver for (non-Hermitian) matrices


RIM is a general eigensolver for computing all eigenvalues in a region
on the complex plane. The method tests if a region contains
eigenvalues using an indicator, which is based on approximate spectral
projection. Regions that contain eigenvalues are subdivided and
tested until eigenvalues are isolated with a specified precision. It
needs no a priori spectral information and overcomes some difficulties
of existing methods. RIM is highly parallel and scalable.

A test version of the method in Matlab can be downloaded from the
following website for free academic use:
http://www.math.mtu.edu/~jiguangs/Homepage_of_Jiguang_Sun/RIM.html

Advances and Trends in Optimization with Engineering Applications
Edited by Tamas Terlaky, Miguel F. Anjos, Shabbir Ahmed
MOS-SIAM Series on Optimization 24
xxxiv + 696 pages / Hardcover / ISBN 978-1-611974-67-6 / List $99.00 /
MOS/SIAM Member $69.30 / MO24

Optimization is of critical importance in engineering. Engineers
constantly strive for the best possible solutions, the most economical
use of limited resources, and the greatest efficiency. As system
complexity increases, these goals mandate the use of state-of-the-art
optimization techniques.

In recent years, the theory and methodology of optimization have seen
revolutionary improvements. Moreover, the exponential growth in
computational power and the availability of multicore computing has
fundamentally changed what engineers can do to optimize their designs.

Advances and Trends in Optimization with Engineering Applications
reviews 10 major areas of optimization and related engineering
applications, providing a broad summary of state-of-the-art
optimization techniques most important to engineering practice. Each
part provides a clear overview of a specific area and discusses a
range of real-world problems.

Subject: New Book, Analysis of Hydrodynamic Models


Analysis of Hydrodynamic Models
Peter Constantin
CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics 90

Analysis of Hydrodynamic Models presents a concise treatment of a
number of partial differential equations of hydrodynamic origin,
including the incompressible Euler equations, SQG, Boussinesq,
incompressible porous medium, and Oldroyd-B. The author's approach is
based on properties of the particle trajectory maps and on analysis of
the back- and-forth passage between the Lagrangian and the Eulerian
descriptions. This concise, unified approach brings readers up to date
on current open problems.

This book is intended for graduate students and junior researchers in
mathematics.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Numerical Analysis, Inria Grenoble, France


Please find below an advertisement for an Inria postdoc/temporary
research scientist position open now in Grenoble (France) with a focus
on the design of an arbitrary lagrangian eulerian mass-based vertical
coordinate for non-Boussinesq non-hydrostatic oceanic nearshore flows.

The objective of the 24-month position is to contribute to the upgrade
of the conventional terrain-following vertical coordinate currently
implemented in the CROCO oceanic model to make it more adequate to
ensure mass conservation and more generally to allow more flexibility
to handle wetting & drying and to reduce spurious sources of numerical
mixing.

The CROCO model is a free-surface terrain-following primitive
equations ocean model (previously known as ROMS-Agrif) widely used
within the scientific community for a wide range of applications from
basin to regional scales. In order to extend the area of expertise of
the model toward nearshore/coastal flows and Large Eddy Simulations,
CROCO now includes an innovative non-hydrostatic non-Boussinesq
(NH-NBQ) numerical kernel following the work of Auclair et al., 2017.

integrated Heart Model for the simulation of the cardiac function"
(2017-2022), P.I. Alfio Quarteroni. Positions are available from
October 1st 2017 on.

The goal of the iHEART project is to construct, mathematically
analyze, numerically approximate, computationally solve, and validate
on clinically relevant cases a mathematically-based integrated heart
model for the human cardiac function. The integrated model comprises
several core cardiac models - electrophysiology, solid and fluid
mechanics, microscopic cellular force generation, and valve dynamics -
which are then coupled and finally embedded into the systemic and
pulmonary blood circulations. It is a multiscale system of Partial
Differential Equations and Ordinary Differential Equations featuring
multiphysics interactions among the core models.
