Computing Methods for the Approximate Solution of Time Dependent Problems

Abstract

The research dealt with computing methods for applications in aerodynamics, geophysics, hydrodynamics, meteorology, and oceanography. Analysis was done of adaptive numerical methods for time-dependent problems in complicated physical domains which can efficiently and reliably approximate singular and near singular features of the solution such as fronts and shocks. Work focused on development of algorithms which could be executed on parallel architectures and upon data structures and language constructs which allow this to be done efficiently and effectively.
