Negligible vapor pressures […]

Youping Chen Colloquium: Concurrent Atomistic-Continuum Modeling and Simulation of Transport Processes in Crystalline Materials

Towne 337 PA, United States

Title: Concurrent Atomistic-Continuum Modeling and Simulation of Transport Processes in Crystalline Materials ABSTRACT In this talk we present a concurrent atomistic-continuum (CAC) method for modeling and simulation of transport processes in crystalline materials. The CAC formulation extends the Irving-Kirkwood procedure for deriving transport equations and fluxes for homogenized molecular systems to that for polyatomic crystalline […]

Yuri Bazilev Colloquium: “Isogeometric Methods for Solids, Structures, and Fluid-Structure Interaction: From Early Results to Recent Developments”

Towne 337 PA, United States

Abstract: This presentation is focused on Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) with applications to solids and structures, starting with early developments and results, and transitioning to more recent work. Novel IGA-based thin-shell formulations are discussed, and applications to progressive damage modeling in composite laminates due to low-velocity impact and their residual-strength prediction are shown. Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) employing […]

Chunlei Liang Colloquium “High-order Spectral Difference Method for Studying Marine Hydrodynamics and Thermal Convection and Magneto-hydrodynamics for the Sun”

Towne 337 PA, United States

Abstract Two recent advancements of high-order spectral difference (SD) method for computational fluid dynamics on unstructured meshes will be presented. The first progress is our contribution to a new curved sliding-mesh approach to the SD method for simulating flapping and rotary wing aerodynamics.  The second elevation of the SD method is our recent successful design […]

HPC Workshop, Fall 2019

Moore 100A 200 S 33rd St, Room 100 A, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This HPC workshop will be instructed by Stuart Slattery of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This course will overview the Kokkos programming model for performance portability (https://github.com/kokkos/kokkos). Kokkos is actively being developed by national laboratory staff within the Department of Energy (DOE) to allow developers to compose complex C++ applications through template metaprogramming concepts capable of […]

Karin Leiderman Colloquium: “Mathematical Modeling of Thrombin-Fibrin Binding Dynamics.”

Towne 337 PA, United States

Title: “Mathematical modeling of thrombin-fibrin binding dynamics .” Abstract: Blood clot formation involves the coupled processes of platelet aggregation and coagulation, which are triggered when there is break in a blood vessel. Platelet aggregation is largely a physical process while coagulation is biochemical, consisting of a large network of reactions that culminate in the generation […]

Mark Tuckerman Colloquium: “Molecular Simulation and Machine Learning as Routes to Exploring Structure and Phase Behavior in Atomic and Molecular Crystals”

Towne 337 PA, United States

Abstract: Organic molecular crystals frequently exist in multiple forms known as polymorphs. Structural differences between crystal polymorphs can affect desired properties, such as bioavailability of active pharmaceutical formulations, lethality of pesticides, or electrical conductivity of organic semiconductors. Crystallization conditions can influence polymorph selection, making an experimentally driven hunt for polymorphs difficult. Such efforts are further […]
