Best regards, Danny Dunlavy NA Digest Editor ------------------------------------------------------- From: Alphonse Magnus [log in to unmask] Date: October 29, 2023 Subject: Jean Meinguet, 1930-2023 We are very sorry to report the passing away of Jean Meinguet, professor of numerical analysis and numerical computer science at the universite catholique de Louvain (Leuven, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium). He graduated in engineering (1954), went to Zurich to learn numerical analysis with H. Rutishauser and E. Stiefel, worked in the "Comit'e d''etude et d'exploitation des calculateurs 'electroniques (Belgian Science Foundation, Brussels, Belgium)" on programming a Bell Telephone co. computer, got a phd on filtering problems, advised by Vitold Belevitch (1960). He organized, and taught, numerical analysis, numerical functinal analsis, numerical algorithmics, numerical linear algebra (with emphasis on the theory of determinants), algol 60 and other languages. He published results on an amazing scope of subjects: rounding error analysis, such as stability of Cholesky factorization, multivariate spline interpolation, optimal recovery, rational interpolation (the Cauchy problem), Adamjan-Arov-Krein-Takagi theory, extremal measures determination. The most often heard, and most exact, statement on him is: "He knows everything". Alphonse Magnus, Paul Van Dooren, Yves Genin ------------------------------------------------------- From: Fred W. Wubs [log in to unmask] Date: October 27, 2023 Subject: New Book, Bifurcation Analysis of Fluid Flows Bifurcation Analysis of Fluid Flows by Fred W. Wubs and Henk A. Dijkstra. Cambridge University Press, August 2023, ISBN: 9781108495813 Hardback; ISBN: 9781108852791 eBook Description: A better understanding of the mechanisms leading a fluid system to exhibit turbulent behavior is one of the grand challenges of the physical and mathematical sciences. Over the last few decades, numerical bifurcation methods have been extended and applied to a number of flow problems to identify critical conditions for fluid instabilities to occur. This book provides a state-of-the-art account of these numerical methods, with much attention to modern linear systems solvers and generalized eigenvalue solvers. These methods also have a broad applicability in industrial, environmental and astrophysical flows. The book is a must-have reference for anyone working in scientific fields where fluid flow instabilities play a role. Exercises at the end of each chapter and Python code for the bifurcation analysis of canonical fluid flow problems provide practice material to get to grips with the methods and concepts presented in the book. Contents: 1. Transitions in Fluid Flows. 2. Dynamical systems background. 3. Well-posed problems. 4. Discretization of PDEs. 5. Numerical bifurcation analysis. 6. Matrix-based techniques. 7. Stationary iterative methods. 8. Non-stationary iterative methods. 9. Matrix free techniques. 10. Benchmark results for canonical problems.
