Proceedings of the second MIT Conference on Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics, held at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA, June 17 - 20 2003
By
K.J Bathe, MIT, Mechanical Engineering Department, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Description
Bringing together the world's leading researchers and practitioners of computational mechanics, these new volumes meet and build on the
eight key challenges for research and development in computational mechanics.
Researchers have recently identified eight critical
research tasks facing the field of computational mechanics. These tasks have come about because it appears possible to reach a new
level of mathematical modelling and numerical solution that will lead to a much deeper understanding of nature and to great improvements
in engineering design.
The eight tasks are:
- The automatic solution of mathematical models
- Effective
numerical schemes for fluid flows
- The development of an effective mesh-free numerical solution method
- The development
of numerical procedures for multiphysics problems
- The development of numerical procedures for multiscale problems
- The
modelling of uncertainties
- The analysis of complete life cycles of systems
- Education - teaching sound engineering and
scientific judgement
Readers of Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics 2003 will be able to apply the combined
experience of many of the world's leading researchers to their own research needs. Those in academic environments will gain a better
insight into the needs and constraints of the industries they are involved with; those in industry will gain a competitive advantage
by gaining insight into the cutting edge research being carried out by colleagues in academia.
Features
- Bridges the gap between academic researchers and practitioners in industry
- Outlines the eight main challenges facing Research
and Design in Computational mechanics and offers new insights into the shifting the research agenda
- Provides a vision of how
strong, basic and exciting education at university can be harmonized with life-long learning to obtain maximum value from the new powerful
tools of analysis
Audience
For researchers and graduate students in engineering and mathematical modelling, and to practitioners and specialists in the area of computational fluid and solid mechanics.
