"To my knowledge this] is the first book to address specifically the use of high-order discretizations in the time domain to solve wave equations. ...] I recommend the book for its clear and cogent coverage of the material selected by its author." --Physics Today, March 2003

This book contains selected papers from the Fourth International Conference on Computational Methods in Marine Engineering, held at Instituto Superior Tecnico, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal in September 2011.

Nowadays, computational methods are an essential tool of engineering, which includes a major field of interest in marine applications, such as the maritime and offshore industries and engineering challenges related to the marine environment and renewable energies. The 2011 Conference included 8 invited plenary lectures and 86 presentations distributed through...

An overview of recent developments in high performance computing and simulation, with special emphasis on the industrial relevance of the presented results and methods. The book showcases an innovative combination of the state-of-the-art modeling, novel numerical algorithms and the use of leading-edge high-performance computing systems.

Many mechanics and physics problems have variational formulations making them appropriate for numerical treatment by finite element techniques and efficient iterative methods. This book describes the mathematical background and reviews the techniques for solving problems, including those that require large computations such as transonic flows for compressible fluids and the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible viscous fluids. Finite element approximations and non-linear relaxation, augmented Lagrangians, and nonlinear least square methods are all covered in detail, as are many...

This book contains papers presented at the 2014 MICCAI Workshop on Computational Diffusion MRI, CDMRI'14. Detailing new computational methods applied to diffusion magnetic resonance imaging data, it offers readers a snapshot of the current state of the art and covers a wide range of topics from fundamental theoretical work on mathematical modeling to the development and evaluation of robust algorithms and applications in neuroscientific studies and clinical practice.

Inside, readers will find information on brain network analysis, mathematical modeling for clinical applications,...

The present book provides guidance to understanding complicated coupled processes based on the experimental data available and implementation of developed algorithms in numerical codes. Results of selected test cases in the fields of closed-form solutions (e.g., deformation processes), single processes (such as groundwater flow) as well as coupled processes are presented.

It is part of the OpenGeoSys initiative - an open source project to share knowledge and experience in environmental analysis and scientific computation with the community.
