IUTAM Symposium on Computational Methods for UnBound Domains
Abstract
The symposium was regarded by all as a resounding success. Disciplinary and semantic barriers were pushed aside as lively discussions accompanied the presentations. About two-thirds of the papers focused on the classical wave equation of acoustics, as this is the simplest governing equation of the types considered. However, three papers dealt with hydrodynamic surface waves, two with electromagnetic waves, three with elastodynamic waves, and four with waves in aerodynamics. Approximately two-thirds of the papers addressed steady-state problems, with the rest treating problems in the time domain. A key unifying aspect of the symposium was the creation of four working groups that labored in parallel to formulate benchmark problems for evaluating computational boundaries. The working groups reviewed the papers presented each day, searching for benchmark candidates. Then they considered other possibilities and organized the ensemble into logical categories. At the end of the symposium, each group presented its benchmark candidates to the assembly of participants, which subsequently made a first cut at consolidating the benchmarks.
