For the first time, high performance CFD simulations can now be performed from an easy to use and convenient GUI directly in Matlab and Octave. The open source FeatFlow CFD solver has been thoroughly tested, validated, and used in computational fluid dynamics benchmarks and in a wide variety of industrial fluid flow simulations such as heat exchangers, two-phase flows, screw and fixed industrial mixers, and more. Employing a novel and unique FEM multigrid solver approach FeatFlow has consistently shown to be both faster and more accurate compared to both modern academic and commercial CFD codes. With the new FEATool integration the high performance FeatFlow CFD solver now can be used by everyone. In addition to the improved CFD capabilities, FEATool v1.6 includes a new automatic quadrilateral grid generation functionality, expanded FEM basis function library, several new models, tutorials, and updated documentation. FEATool Multiphysics developed by Precise Simulation Ltd. is above all designed to be a fully integrated and very easy to use, flexible, and customizable PDE and FEM Continuum Mechanics and Multiphysics Simulation Toolbox for Matlab and Octave.

The increase in data accumulation allows us to tackle a wide range of social, economic, industrial and scientific challenges. But extracting meaningful knowledge from the available data is not a trivial task and represents a severe challenge for data analysts. Mathematics plays an important role in the existing algorithms for data processing through techniques of statistical learning, signal analysis, distributed optimization, compress sensing etc. The amounts of data that are available and that are going to be available in near future call for significant efforts in mathematics. These efforts are needed to make the data useful. The main challenges we plan to consider within this SIG are, roughly speaking, in the area of mathematical optimization and statistics. The Special Interest Group Mathematics for Big Data, organized under ECMI umbrella, aims to bring together major stakeholders in this exciting area. The principal objectives of the workshop are: to gather experts from academia working on Big Data issues; to promote scientific cooperation on up-to-date open challenges in the area; to promote cooperation between academia and industry in the area; and to promote joint applications to EU funded programs. The workshop will have the usual format of ECMI Special Group workshops. Several distinguished experts will deliver plenary lectures on the state-of-the art topics, followed by a limited number of contributed lectures. Posters sections are also possible. A panel discussion with the representatives of industry will also be organized. A collection of survey papers will be published in Springer book edition "Mathematics in Industry".

Students, postdocs, as well as early-career and senior researchers are welcome to participate. The short-course description is given below. Peridynamics Theory of Solid Mechanics: modeling, computation, and applications Instructors - Dr. John Foster ([log in to unmask]), The University of Texas at Austin - Dr. David Littlewood ([log in to unmask]), Sandia National Laboratories - Dr. Pablo Seleson ([log in to unmask]), Oak Ridge National Laboratory Peridynamics is a nonlocal reformulation of classical continuum mechanics, based on integral equations, suitable for material failure and damage simulation. In contrast to classical constitutive relations, peridynamic models do not require spatial differentiability assumptions of displacement fields, leading to a natural representation of material discontinuities such as cracks. Furthermore, peridynamic models possess length scales, making them suitable for multiscale modeling. This course will provide an overview of peridynamics, including its mathematical, computational, and modeling aspects. The course will also review advanced research topics and software in peridynamics, and it will include a hands-on tutorial on 3D simulation of solid mechanics problems. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Giuseppe Rodriguez [log in to unmask] Date: March 16, 2017 Subject: Summer School on Inverse Problems, Italy, Jul 2017 Summer School "Advanced Numerical Techniques for Inverse Problems, with Applications in Imaging Science and Applied Geophysics" Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) July 17-21, 2017.

The corresponding forward problem maps the physical quantity to the measurements. In most realistic situations the solution of the inverse problem is challenging, complicated by incomplete and noisy measurements, as well as non-invertible forward operators which render the inverse problem ill-posed (that is lack of stability and/or uniqueness of solutions). Inverse problems appear in many practical applications in biology, medicine, weather forecasting, chemistry, engineering, physics, to name but a few, and their analysis and solution presents considerable challenges in mathematics and statistics. This conference will bring together mathematicians and statisticians, working on theoretical and numerical aspects of inverse problems, and engineers, physicists and other scientists, working on challenging inverse problem applications. We welcome industrial representatives, doctoral students, early career and established academics working in this field to attend. Conference topics: Imaging; Regularisation theory; Statistical inverse problems; Sampling; Data assimilation; Inverse problem applications Papers will be accepted for the conference based on a 300 word abstract for oral or poster presentation. Abstracts should be submitted by 30 April via https://my.ima.org.uk/ For further information on this conference, please visit the conference webpage: http://ima.org.uk/conferences/conferences_calendar/inverse-problems.html ------------------------------------------------------- From: Bo Li [log in to unmask] Date: March 20, 2017 Subject: Multiscale Theory and Computation, USA, Sep 2017 Multiscale Theory and Computation, An International Conference Honoring Mitchell Luskin on the Occasion of his 65th Birthday University of Minnesota, Minneapolis September 23-25, 2017 Multiscale modeling, theory, and computation have made fundamental contributions to many areas of physical, chemical, and biological sciences.
