The software can be used in a shared-memory environment with multithreading, or as a scalable parallel solver in a message-passing environment, where each process can be either serial or multithreaded. While WSMP has traditionally been known for its in-core direct solvers, recent releases of the multithreaded library include an out-of-core direct solver for symmetric systems, and Krlylov subspace solvers with robust preconditioning based on incomplete factorization for both SPD and general sparse systems.

Applications are invited by highly talented researchers for an 18 month Research Associate position funded by the EPSRC Grant “Complex Interfacial Flows with Heat Transfer: Analysis, Direct Numerical Simulations and Experiments,” under the supervision of Professor Serafim Kalliadasis. The project concerns the theoretical investigation of free-surface thin-film flows in the presence of complexities such as heat transfer and microstructured substrates. It is in collaboration with the experimental group of Dr Christos Markides (Chemical Engineering, Imperial) and the computational group of Dr Berend Van Wachem (Mechanical Engineering, Imperial). The successful candidate should have a PhD (or equivalent) in Mathematics, Engineering, Science, or other related area and a strong foundation on general mathematical modelling and mathematical techniques (analytical and numerical). A good knowledge of interfacial fluid mechanics is highly desirable. You will join a highly interdisciplinary team working on a wide variety of exciting projects at the interface between applied mathematics and engineering science fundamentals. If you would like to discuss the project, please contact Professor Serafim Kalliadasis at [log in to unmask], Telephone: +44-(0)-20-7594-1373.

The project concerns the theoretical formalism of dynamic density functional theory of non-uniform fluids. Of particular interest are liquid-gas interfaces in contact with a solid substrate. The ultimate aim is the development of a rigorous microscopic approach based on first principles for the description of such interfaces in classes of problems in order of increasing complexity. The successful candidate should have a PhD (or equivalent) in Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Science, or other related area and a strong foundation on general mathematical modelling, mathematical techniques (analytical and numerical), thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. A good knowledge of density functional theory is highly desirable. You will join a highly interdisciplinary team working on a wide variety of exciting projects at the interface between applied mathematics and engineering science fundamentals. If you would like to discuss the project, please contact Professor Serafim Kalliadasis at [log in to unmask], Telephone: +44-(0)-20-7594-1373. *Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as Research Assistant within the salary range £29,350 - £32,520 per annum.
