Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment 1989

本项目为美国国家科学基金会数学科学部数学科学项目的科学计算研究设备项目。该计划支持购买专用于数学科学研究的专用计算设备。这些设备是几个研究项目所需要的，很难证明单独用于一个项目是合理的。国家科学基金会的支持与制造商的折扣和捐款以及提交提案的机构的大量费用分摊相结合。这个项目是学术、企业和政府合作支持数学科学基础研究的一个例子。该设备将用于支持普渡大学数学系的几个研究项目：图形超级计算机在物理过程数值模拟中的应用——(1)裂缝性储层流动的数值模拟，(2)可压缩流体流动的数值方法，以及(3)逆问题和声波测井，由Todd Arbogast、Jim Douglas， Jr.、Bradley Lucier和Fabio Milner指导；《高级计算机图形学在复杂分析中的应用》，由史蒂文·贝尔、理查德·彭尼和艾伦·韦茨曼执导。

This is a grant under the Scientific Computing Research Equipment for the Mathematical Sciences program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation. This program supports the purchase of special purpose computing equipment dedicated to the conduct of research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment is required for several research projects and would be difficult to justify for one project alone. Support from the National Science Foundation is coupled with discounts and contributions from manufacturers and with substantial cost-sharing from the institutions submitting the proposal. This program is an example of academic, corporate, and government cooperation in the support of basic research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment will be used to support several research projects in the Department of Mathematics at Purdue University: Applications of a Graphics Supercomputer to Numerical Modeling of Physical Processes - (1) Numerical Simulation of Flows in Fractured Reservoirs, (2) Numerical Methods for Compressible Fluid Flow, and (3) Inverse Problems and Acoustic Well-Logging, directed by Todd Arbogast, Jim Douglas, Jr., Bradley Lucier, and Fabio Milner; and Applications of High Level Computer Graphics to Complex Analysis, directed by Steven Bell, Richard Penney, and Allen Weitsman.
