PICS/MEAM Colloquium: Jingmei Qiu

PICS Large Conference Room – 534 3401 Walnut Street, 5A, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Title A  Low Rank Tensor Approach for Nonlinear Vlasov Simulations Abstract In this work, we present a low-rank tensor approach for approximating solutions to the nonlinear Vlasov equation. Our method takes advantage of the tensor-friendly nature of the differential operators in the Vlasov equation to dynamically and adaptively construct a low-rank solution sis bathrough the […]

PICS Colloquium: Jae Sung Park

Zoom

Email jnespos@seas.upenn.edu for the Zoom link. Title Computational fluid dynamics for slurry rheology in flow battery and underlying drag-reduction mechanisms in turbulent flow control Abstract This talk will start by introducing diverse fluid-mechanics research conducted in the Park research group, including complex fluids, electrokinetics, biofluids, transition-to-turbulence, and turbulent flow. I will then focus on two […]

RUST Workshop with Ian Graham

Moore 100C

In this workshop we will give an introduction to Rust code syntax and semantics. We will show how language features from familiar languages like Python and C++ transfer over, while also introducing concepts not found in many mainstream languages; these include Rust‘s ownership model, traits, and lifetimes. The first half of the workshop will cover […]
