Subject: Mondriaan 4.0: Sparse Matrix Partitioning Package
We would like to announce the availability of version 4.0 of the
Mondriaan package. Mondriaan can be used as a preprocessing tool for
large parallel sparse matrix-vector multiplications. It subdivides
the nonzeros of the matrix into a desired number of parts and
generates a permutation of the matrix based on this subdivision.
Version 4.0 contains several improvements compared to its previous
version. These are:
- The medium-grain partitioning method, which offers improved
quality and faster partitioning. Medium-grain is the new default
partitioning strategy.
- Improved quality through iterative refinement of bipartitionings
by using the medium-grain method.
- Advanced matching of hypergraph vertices in the coarsening phase
of the partitioning, through the use of the PGA' matching algorithm.
- The lambda*(lambda - 1) hypergraph cost metric which measures the
communication volume of all-neighbor communication.
The package and related documentation can be obtained from:
http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~bisse101/Mondriaan/
Mondriaan is written in C and distributed under the GNU LGPL license.

Subject: Integral Eqn Meths Electmgn Scattering, The Netherlands, Nov 2013
On November 12 2013, the Delft Institute for Applied Mathematics
(DIAM), the George Green Institute for Electromagnetics Research (GMR)
and the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) will organize a workshop
entitled: INT13 An Integral Approach to Electromagnetic Scattering: A
workshop on recent developments in theory and applications.
The purpose of this workshop is three-fold. First of all it will
provide a forum for researchers in the field of time and frequency
domain integral equations to exchange new ideas and start new
cooperations, initiated by a number of invited talks by leading
experts. Furthermore, the workshop provides an opportunity to PhD
students to share the results of their research with more experienced
researchers, get feedback and extend their network. Finally, we have
planned a common exercise prior to the workshop, in which all
attendees of the workshop can participate. In this common exercise
four challenging test cases for time-domain integral equation solvers
are presented. We will collect the results in advance and present and
discuss them on the workshop. This will help understand the benefits
and shortcomings of the different approaches to formulating
time-domain scattering modeling through integral equations in use
today.
All information on the event can be found on the website. If you would
like to attend, contribute or participate in the common exercise, do
not hesitate to contact the organisers.

This workshop will address algorithmic, programming and application
software aspects for the simulation of complex multiscale problems on
the future supercomputers for exascale computing. It is organized
within and funded by the German Priority Program 1648 "Software for
Exascale Computing" (SPPEXA) by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
(DFG). Multiscale problems appear in different SPPEXA projects, e.g.,
the simulation of high strength steels in EXASTEEL or the simulation
of flow in environmental or technical porous media in EXA-DUNE. ESSEX
develops exascale sparse eigensolvers for studies of graphene-based
structures, topological insulators, and quantum Hall effect
devices. There is a common need for efficient computational
homogenization schemes and highly scalable and robust preconditioners
on the basis of algebraic multigrid and domain decomposition
methods. In this workshop we plan to bring together internationally
known experts from these fields of research with researchers from the
projects ESSEX, EXA-DUNE, EXASTEEL, ExaStencils, and TerraNeo. The
workshop will be also open for other projects from SPPEXA as well as

Location: São Carlos – São Paulo State- Brazil
Title: Highly-resolved computational modeling of turbidity current
phenomena at field scale
Supervisor: Gustavo C. Buscaglia
Job description/Requirements: Turbidity currents are one of the main
mechanisms for sediment transport into the deep ocean. The
hydrodynamics involved in field scale turbidity currents lead to very
complex, multi-phase, multi-scale physical phenomena. A comprehensive
understanding of the interconnection between the processes at the
macroscopic and microscopic levels is mandatory for accurate
predictions. Highly-resolved computer models have proved to
successfully describe the flow structure as well as its implication on
sedimentation processes at moderate Reynolds numbers and planar bottom
topography. Specifically, self-stratification effects due to
sedimentation have been found to be responsible of turbulence damping
and massive sedimentation deposits formation (Cantero et al.,
Geophysical Research Letters, 2012, Nature Geosci., 2012).
The purpose of this project is to develop a computer model to solve
for the hydrodynamics and sediment transport processes involved in
field scale turbidity currents considering realistic bottom topography
and ocean ambient conditions. The main features of the desired model
are: Two-fluid treatment of the disperse phase, finite element/volume
space discretization, LES turbulence modeling, erosion/deposition
boundary conditions and topography evolution.
The successful applicant will participate of a collaborative effort

DCTA/IAE/ALA
Location: São José dos Campos – São Paulo State- Brazil
Title: Large Eddy Simulations and Aeroacoustics of Perfectly
Expanded Supersonic Jets
Supervisor: João Luiz F. Azevedo
Job Description/Requirements: The main objective of the present
research work is to study and develop a numerical methodology for the
prediction of acoustic propagation and radiation due to the
interaction of exhaust gases from rocket engines with the ambient air,
under perfectly expanded supersonic jet conditions. In general,
supersonic jet noise generation has three main mechanisms: (1) noise
due to turbulent mixture processes; (2) noise due to shock waves; and
(3) well-defined tonal noise or screech noise. In the present work,
since perfectly expanded jets are being considered, mechanisms (2) and
(3) can be neglected. Therefore, only the first mechanism will be
considered. It is commonly accepted that the mechanism of noise
emission of type (1) can adequately be described by hydrodynamic
instability theory, in which one can assume a slow evolution of the
mixing layer.
The present work will use hybrid methods in order to handle the
problem of interest. Hybrid methods compute sound generation and
propagation separately. Typically, computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
techniques are used to calculate the flow variables in the region
where the nonlinear acoustic sources are located. Such flow variables
are, then, used as initial data for sound propagation formulations
which will yield the noise levels at distant observers. Clearly, the
flow physical characteristics must be accurately captured by the CFD
method in order to use hybrid methods. Moreover, the turbulent
aerodynamic flows considered in the present work yield acoustic
sources in a broad regime of frequencies and spatial
scales. Therefore, large eddy simulation (LES) is the method of choice
for the calculation of the flows of interest, since this formulation
can capture the most energetic scales associated with noise
generation. The acoustic analogy formulation of Ffowcs Williams and
Hawkings (FWH) will be used for the acoustic calculations of sound
radiation due to the supersonic jet flows of interest.
Candidates must hold a doctoral degree in Aerospace or Mechanical
Engineering, or in a related area, with demonstrated experience in the
calculation of turbulent flows and/or aeroacoustics. They should
submit a comprehensive CV, which indicates their previous experience
especially as it relates to the subject matter of the present
proposal.
