Presidential Young Investigators Award

本届总统青年研究者奖的重点是并行处理在耦合场问题解决和复合结构建模中的应用。对许多工程问题的真实动力学模拟仍然超出了现有矢量计算的范围。并发或大规模并行系统提供了一个可行的替代方案。然而，工程应用受到并行算法缺乏的困扰。流体结构、土结构、控制结构和热结构是典型的耦合场问题。结构部分包括一个子问题；对承载构件的复合材料进行建模。整个系统的动力响应具有非线性、复杂的材料描述和复杂的几何结构。并行计算仿真提供了有效的设计方法。

The focus of this Presidential Young Investigator (PYI) Award is on the application of parallel processing to solution of coupled field problems and to the modelling of composite structures. A realistic simulation of the dynamics of many engineering problems remain beyond the reach of existing vector computing. Concurrent or massively parallel systems offer a viable alternative. However, engineering applications suffer from a lack of parallel algorithms. Fluid-structure, soil-structure, control-structure and thermal- structure are typical coupled field problems. The structures portion includes a sub-problem; to model the composites which are the load carrying members. The dynamic response of the total system includes nonlineraity, complicated material description and complex geometry. Parallel computational simulation offers an efficient approach to design.
