The approach allows to deal with coupled systems from different physical domains that act on widely different scales. Each physical system is modeled via a model hierarchy of port-Hamiltonian systems. The systems are coupled via a network of uni-physics nodes coupled via power conserving interconnections so that the full system stays port-Hamiltonian. Using this very flexible approach, it is possible to control the accuracy of each component separately and to the need of the application. As real world test cases models from gas transport optimization, power grid modeling, or acoustic field simulation will be discussed. The lectures will be given by Volker Mehrmann (TU Berlin). The Summer School is part of the training activities in the Innovative Training Network ROMSOC ("Reduced Order Modelling, Simulation and Optimization of coupled System") funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The registration for the Summer School is free and the school is open for all interested PhD and Master students. Complete information and registration can be found under: http://www3.math.tu-berlin.de/numerik/NumMat/ECProjekte/ROMSOC/ETC- 3_Summerschool2018 Registration Deadline: July 15, 2018 Dates of Summer School: August 27-31, 2018 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Dominik Bartuschat [log in to unmask] Date: June 19, 2018 Subject: Computational Science at Scale, Germany, Sep 2018 The HPC symposium "Computational Science at Scale" CoSaS 2018 will take place in Erlangen, Germany from Wednesday, September 5 until Friday, September 7, 2018.

Topic: Development of an efficient numerical method to solve wave equations in unbounded domains by space-time integral equation methods. Prerequisites: Master/diploma in Mathematics, very good knowledge in numerical analysis and good knowledge in programming. Application: In environmental physics there are applications where it is essential to obtain information on material properties inside (large) solid objects. For this purpose, typically, a wave is sent into the solid and the scattered wave is recorded and used to solve the relevant mathematical equations for the quantity of interest. Cooperations: The proposal for this project has a concrete application: to determine the ice volume of glaciers in Switzerland (within a cooperation with the "Exploration and Environmental Geophysics" group at ETHZ). The software development will be a close cooperation with the "Scientific Computing Group" at the University of Kiel. Starting salary: CHF 58'800. Conditions/Applications: The I-Math at the University of Zurich provides an excellent environment and infrastructure for their PhD students. PhD students are members of the Zurich Graduate School in Mathematics (ZGSM) which is jointly run with the D-Math at the ETH Zurich. The new PhD students will be integrated in the Numerical Analysis/Computational Mathematics research group of Professor Stefan Sauter. Applications should include electronic versions of your transcripts and, if available, a certificate of the master degree. In addition 3 letters of recommendation are requested.

The background of the project lies in developing new mathematical techniques to combine the physical laws that govern fluid flows with methods that can assimilate data into model predictions. The specific goal is to arrive at real-time prediction of multiphase flow systems such as slug flow in pipelines. This requires the use of reduced order models that feature several uncertain (unclosed) terms. In this project this closure problem is tackled through the real-time incorporation of data. This data is available from high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations or from experiments. We seek a talented and enthusiastic candidate with a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Aerospace Engineering or a related discipline, and a specialization in Numerical Analysis or a related field such as Computational Fluid Dynamics. You will be working closely together with experts from both CWI (dr. Sanderse, dr. Dubinkina and prof. Oosterlee) and Shell Technology Centre Amsterdam (prof. Henkes). You will be enrolled in the Graduate School of Delft University of Technology from which you will later receive the PhD degree.
