Subject: Chebfun v5.7.0 release

The Chebfun team is pleased to announce the release of Chebfun v5.7.0
for numerical computing with functions in 1D, 2D, and 3D, available at
www.chebfun.org or github.com/chebfun/chebfun.  The new release
includes three major new capabilities:
* SPINSPHERE for reaction-diffusion equations on the sphere
* MINIMAX, most powerful code available for best rational
  approximation
* RANDNFUN/2/SPHERE/DISK for random functions and ODEs

The random functions come with a new section of examples of random
ODEs at our web site http://www.chebfun.org.  In addition there are
some other notable changes in Chebfun:
* Vectorization now allows f*g instead of f.*g, etc.
* PLOTCOEFFS has a new look and feel
* ZEBRA option for black/white plots in 2D or on the sphere
* ROOTS now computes zero curves in 2D to high accuracy
* L - lambda*eye(L) and other algebra for chebops
* L' as an alternative to ADJOINT(L)
* ROTATE for fast rotation of a spherefun (exploiting fast NUFFT)
* ARROWPLOT for putting arrowheads on planar trajectories
* Updated class diagram

Subject: PhD Position, IFPEN

IFPEN http://www.ifpenergiesnouvelles.fr/ opens a PhD position in oct
2017. Scale-up two-phase fronts in heterogeneous porous media and
application to EOR techniques

Modelling multiphase flow in porous media remains a challenging issue,
especially when simulating unstable flows in natural heterogeneous
media. These instabilities are a key phenomenon that control the
overall efficiency of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes, a major
stake for most oil companies. The understanding of the coupling
between these instabilities and the unavoidable natural rock
multiscale heterogeneities that leads to an amplified channeling is
far from being complete. In addition, in the current practice, it is
no possible to simulate directly these flows using directly the high
resolution geological model of the reservoir. A grid coarsening step
is required. So the basic question is : is it possible to perform that
coarsening without losing too much accuracy of the simulation?  In
this topic, the student will set up high resolution simulations that
will serve as a basis to build robust up-scaling procedures. The main
idea is to be able to track the front at some up scaled scale,
allowing to use standard single phase flow up scaling techniques far
from the front.  Local flow details near the front will be accounted
for by several techniques, including multiscale zooming techniques, or
effective large scale equations accounting for details in a averaged
sense by means of a modification of fractional flow function,
including dispersivity.  These approaches are particularly attractive
if random small scale heterogeneities are considered. Alternative
techniques such as Volume of Fluids, Fast Marching Method, Phase field
of potential interest for attacking the problem will be studied.

The retained student will have skills in applied mathematics; fluid
mechanics, computer programming including parallel computing. The
project will be shared between the Applied math department of IFPEN
and the Geoscience Direction. A collaboration with Pr B Riviere from
Rice University, USA is scheduled.

Interested students should send to Dr Noetinger, cover letter, master
marks, 2 recommendation letters
