Adaptive Mesh Refinement - Theory and Applications
Author: Tomasz Plewa
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540211471
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 582
Book Description
Advanced numerical simulations that use adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) methods have now become routine in engineering and science. Originally developed for computational fluid dynamics applications these methods have propagated to fields as diverse as astrophysics, climate modeling, combustion, biophysics and many others. The underlying physical models and equations used in these disciplines are rather different, yet algorithmic and implementation issues facing practitioners are often remarkably similar. Unfortunately, there has been little effort to review the advances and outstanding issues of adaptive mesh refinement methods across such a variety of fields. This book attempts to bridge this gap. The book presents a collection of papers by experts in the field of AMR who analyze past advances in the field and evaluate the current state of adaptive mesh refinement methods in scientific computing.

ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
This book came from a conference which surveyed the most recent research on numerical methods and the development of algorithms for use with parallel computers. It is now widely accepted that parallel computing is the future - the only way to ahcieve the processing speeds that are required tomeet the needs of computer users in the future.the software problems involved require the development of new solution algorithms which are capable of supporting many parallels. The emphasis of the conference was on the applications of parallel processing, on the implementation of specific applications on parallel computers or with thedevelopment of efficient mathematical algorithms to be used in applications.The contributors include Mike Brady et al (Oxford) and Jeremy du Croz (NAG, UK).

Flare Observations in the IRIS Era: What Have We Learned, and What’s Next?
Author: Vanessa Polito
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832539335
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Since its launch in 2013, IRIS has observed more than 10 X-class, over 100 M-class and more than 600 C-class flares at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. Thanks to the rich diagnostics that cover the physical conditions of the solar atmosphere from the photosphere to the hottest parts of the flaring corona, IRIS observations have provided exciting new results and constraints on flare heating models, significantly expanding our knowledge of how flares are triggered, and how the non-thermal energy is released, propagates downward from the corona, and is deposited in the low atmosphere. At the same time, the new discoveries provided by IRIS have raised new unresolved questions and new challenges for theoretical models. For instance, current hydrodynamic models still cannot fully explain many features observed by IRIS during both the impulsive and gradual phases such as the dynamics of the evaporative/condensation flows, the large line broadenings, and the puzzling complex and broad chromospheric lines. In addition, important questions remain regarding the details of the energy propagation and dissipation in flares, the importance of Alfvén waves vs electron-beam and thermal conduction heating, and the effects from large-scale reconfiguration of the magnetic field during flares.

Secular Evolution of Galaxies
Author: Jesús Falcón-Barroso
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107035279
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 657
Book Description
The formation and evolution of galaxies is one of the most important topics in modern astrophysics. Secular evolution refers to the relatively slow dynamical evolution due to internal processes induced by a galaxy's spiral arms, bars, galactic winds, black holes and dark matter haloes. It plays an important role in the evolution of spiral galaxies with major consequences for galactic bulges, the transfer of angular momentum, and the distribution of a galaxy's constituent stars, gas and dust. This internal evolution is in turn the key to understanding and testing cosmological models of galaxy formation and evolution. Based on the twenty-third Winter School of the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics, this volume presents reviews from nine world-renowned experts on the observational and theoretical research into secular processes, and what these processes can tell us about the structure and formation of galaxies. The volume provides a firm grounding for graduate students and early career researchers working on galactic dynamics and galaxy evolution.
