This version is considered stable and includes all recent updates. The software is freely available at www.p4est.org where we also link to a howto document, technical papers, and inline source documentation. There is an archived mailing list for discussion of any p4est related issues; please see http://librelist.com/browser/p4est/. Everybody is free to subscribe. We are happy to help and respond to any issues that may arise. Enjoy! The p4est developers, Carsten Burstedde Lucas C. Wilcox Tobin Isaac ------------------------------------------------------- From: Linda Thiel [log in to unmask] Date: October 23, 2014 Subject: Call for Proposals, Gene Golub SIAM Summer School 2016 SIAM is calling for Letters of Intent proposing topics and organizers for the 2016 Gene Golub SIAM Summer School (G2S3). Preference will be given to a computational linear algebra theme, but Letters of Intent in all areas of applied and computational mathematics will be considered. It is expected that the program will run two weeks for 40 to 50 graduate students in 2016. SIAM will contribute up to $95,000 towards the running of the summer school. Information about the G2S3 program, including the composition of the G2S3 committee, can be found at www.siam.org/about/com_golub.php. Information about the 2015 G2S3 can be found at www.siam.org/students/g2s3 and the archives of earlier G2S3s can be found at http://www.siam.org/students/g2s3/archive.php. The deadline for Letters of Intent is January 31, 2015.

Moreover, two surface flow and complex applications such as combustion modeling and their validation will be treated. For more information, please see below or visit http://icsweb.inf.unisi.ch/cms/index.php/component/content/article/12- news/148-fomics-winter-school-on-computational-fluid-dynamics.html Speakers: Dominik Obrist (Uni Bern); Sven Groß (RWTH Aachen); Ioannis Mantzaras (PSI Villingen); Patrick Jenny (ETH Zürich) The course will start with an introduction to the Navier-Stokes equations, i.e. the mathematical model for incompressible flow, and with the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, including the direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow using finite and compact differences and spectral methods. Finite elements for fluid flow and free surface flow will be treated next, followed by combustion modeling. Basic thermodynamic principles as well as the validation of the numerically obtained results will be discussed. In the last part of the course, finite volumes methods for compressible flow will be considered. The course is designed to give a comprehensive overview on state-of-the art numerical techniques not only for laminar and turbulent flow, but also for two surface flow and combustion. In addition to numerical methods, also their application and validation will be considered. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Martin Buecker [log in to unmask] Date: October 17, 2014 Subject: Automatic Differentiation, Germany, Dec 2014 Sixteenth European Workshop on Automatic Differentiation Monday December 8 - Tuesday December 9, 2014 Friedrich Schiller University Jena Jena, Germany http://www.autodiff.org This is the 16th in a series of European Workshops providing a forum for the presentation of developments and applications of Automatic Differentiation (AD) and adjoint methods.
