My current research is in the area of computational
science and engineering developing and applying finite element
methods and related issues on the latest generation of supercomputers
to solve large scale fluid dynamics applications.
Some of my research projects include:
- Finite Element Methods:
- Development of finite element methods for solving incompressible
fluid flow problems with particular emphasis on mesh moving
algorithms.
- Parallel Implementation:
- Implementation of the finite element method on the latest massively
parallel computer architectures.
- Automatic Mesh Generation:
- Development of fully automatic mesh generators in 3D and
associated interactive geometric modelers.
Some of my recent publications can be
obtained here.
- The Automatic Mesh Generator
- On-line manual of Andrew's fully automatic 3D mesh generation system.
The mesh generator is based on the Delaunay method and runs on all
architectures. Exact specification of the boundary elements is possible,
as well as easy control of internal mesh refinement. This software is
under active development so check this page for periodic updates.
- Andrew's Older Software Packages
- On-line descriptions and man pages about parallel flow solvers, automatic
mesh generation, geometric modeling, visualization, and various other
pacages used in scientific computing.
- Andrew's MPI-Based Scientific Software Library
- A collection of common, powerfull, portable and parallel
functions used in scientific computing (mainly mesh management).
All are based on MPI and written in C. This contains the documentation
about each function and their use. Some example functions perform
parallel mesh re-distribution, partitioning, solution projection, and
gather-scatter functions.
- AEM 5250 Class Information
- Two-dimensional simulation software (geometric modeler, automatic
mesh generator, parallel flow solver, and flow visualization) used
for instructional and demonstration purpouses.
