Current CFD problems of interest are typically of a large-scale nature, characterized by a size and complexity demanding the combined efforts of interdisciplinary teams from engineering, mathematics, computer science and physics. This book thus groups a prestigious cross-section of internationally known scientists invited to expound on the following themes: * Algorithms for vector, parallel and virtual-parallel architectures * Algorithms for massively parallel architectures * Convergence enhancement techniques, namely preconditioned interative methods for implicit or...

Despite the apparent activity in the field, the ever increasing rate of development of new engineering materials required to meet advanced technological needs poses fresh challenges in the field of constitutive modelling. The complex behaviour of such materials demands a closer interaction between numerical analysts and material scientists in order to produce thermodynamically consistent models which provide a response in keeping with fundamental micromechanical principles and experimental observations. This necessity for collaboration is further highlighted by the continuing remarkable...

Themethodologyfordesigninghigh-performancecompositestructuresisstill evo- ing. The complexity of the response of composite materials and the dif?culties in predicting the composite material properties from the basic properties of the c- stituents result in the need for a well-planned and exhaustive test program. The recommended practice to mitigate the technological risks associated with advanced composite materials is to substantiate the performance and durability of the design in a sequence of steps known as the Building Block Approach. The Building Block Approach ensures that cost and...

For more than 250 years partial di?erential equations have been clearly the most important tool available to mankind in order to understand a large variety of phenomena, natural at ?rst and then those originating from - man activity and technological development. Mechanics, physics and their engineering applications were the ?rst to bene't from the impact of partial di?erential equations on modeling and design, but a little less than a century ago the Schr] odinger equation was the key opening the door to the application of partial di?erential equations to quantum chemistry, for small atomic...
