SEMINAR

ABSTRACT

A group of high performance computer research problems of importance to image compression, image registration, and the flow of fluids, will be presented. Answers to these research problems require numerical computation and involve the close collaboration of scientists and engineers, the utilization of new computational hardware, and the use of new methods of computation. This interdisciplinary research involved collaboration of physicists; computer scientists; petroleum, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineers. The seminar will be directed toward discussing the solution of "real-world" problems. The expertise developed to attack problems within the areas mentioned, encourages further collaboration between different disciplines. It also helps to educate the next generation of scientists and engineers in these methods.

The following, research problems will be covered, in each, both the computational methodology and the methods used to obtain solutions will be addressed.

1. The Coning Problem.

2. Dynamic Adaptive 2D and 3D Finite Element Grids.

3. The Application of the 3D Finite Element Method to Simulations.

4. The Simulation of a Hazardous Waste Problem.

5. Image Compression for Medical Image Storage and Telemedicine.

6. Wavelet Based Image Registration.
